Oh right, I thought all the previous 52 plate Darts were extras to the fleet. Or is it just the last MPD that is for fleet replacement?

2 of the 52 plate are for 54 and 55 plated e300 but with the loads on 004 and 318 are full or nearly full so they do need long wheel base dart, but i know 315 and 316 due to go and 1719 has gone or going following by 1742, 0387, 0389.   0797, 1510-1512 will stay for now but when they are cost to much to run or fail the mot they get new ish bus where it cost lest to run

A higher frequency or earlier morning services. The 208 is doing well, always busy when I see it

Sounds as though the 004 is taking off

Do you know of any plans to buy any more new buses? Although the 52 plate Darts are newer, they are still 11 year old ex rental buses

Looking at the timetable I picked up off 1524 today.

Any more details on route this will take and time etc... I for one would be particularly interested in trying it, I really think there is a market for an absolutely non-stop shuttle service between Dudley and Merry Hill

It will follow NXWM X96's route between Dudley and Merry Hill.

OR indeed largely reinstate the 264/5 route curtailed when x96 took the route to Dudley.It will mean that because passengers can ride through from the 226 its a cheap way up to Dudley from lower Wordsley and Hawbush too.

[OH25]

what are the starting and finishing times for the route?
also if it is following the X96 route will it be stopping at the same stops as it as well?

Merry Hill- Dudley 06.59-17.29 1/2 Hourly.From Stand C (B X96)
Dudley-Merry Hill  0708-17.44   At 09/44  from same stand as X96 (S I believe).
Same stopping points along route.
