0387 might have been off the road or on another route.

2610 is back on the road after problems with it during the snowy period with different display style and a repainted front.

I did notice one Enviro200 had a plain blue front yesterday without a logo. Obviously 2610 then!

2610 back on the road after a minor prang in the snow.This bus seems a little cursed cos thats its third minor bump. :'(

0797 which has been the mainstay of the 124 for many months appeared on the 231 for a nice change of scenery.

Wonder where 0030 was then, as that is usually the regular 231 bus

All I want to say is well done in getting the 226 tendered from diamond run by one popular operator now.

[Ash]

Wat journeys will the tendered 226 work cover evenings/early mornings ?

Great I will be more confidant that the bus will not appear 10 mins early now on the way home from the pub!

With reference to tenders,as mentioned elsewhere the tenders were for some early morning journeys monday to friday so i`m afraid for at least twelve months you`re stuck with diamond.

As I was walking home, i saw MX60 GXH, a Hansons bus on the 226, decide to Continue up Brierley Hill Road instead of turning into Swan Lane (presumably as a Diamond 226 was right infront of Him).

Have also passed that complaint onto Hansons and Centro.

Approx 6pm towards Merry Hill

Nooooo way. Hansons are whiter than white & would never do such a thing!  ;D

Come on Hanson's why lower yourself to this level? I imagine diamond will withdraw from the 226 soon anyway tho I am a huge fan of diamond I think their actions regarding the 226 were completely unacceptable. Hansons never usually do this sort of thing and while we're on the subject, has their 004 taken off yet?

When ever i have travelled on the 004, it gets good loadings around Harbourne, think people around Merry Hill still prefer the 002.

[Stuharris 6360]

Only just found out that the 004 doesn't serve Lye anymore, hadn't seen that advertised.

Indeed, neither had I. It now serves Quarry Bank High street. Not that I think that high street needs another service! I think it would be even better to link it with Cradley Heath, Saltwells areas maybe giving these areas a direct link back to Cradley Heath railway station which was taken away when the old 238 changed (now 289).
