I'm wondering what will happen driver wise. @Tony will WN drivers come across and learn the route as they know know B6, Merc and Spectra or are they going to type train WA drivers on B6 , Merc and Spectra?

Most WA drivers are B6 trained anyway I would think.

I think its just whoevers volunteered within the organization but politely tell me to hush up.

The B6 & B10 should be on normal running boards driven by the normal drivers, the Mercs & Spectras will be driven by 5 volunteer drivers

Pity a Coventry merc couldn't come out on the 301

If the volunteer drivers are from another depot, I would've thought the 301 is a fairly easy route anyway.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no 302 interworking during Saturday daytime is there?

So Tony will be driving a spectra or merc

My money is still on Tony driving one of the Spectra's, will be easy for him to get from home to Wolves to pick one up!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

It may have already been mentioned, so apologies if it has, but the X51 journey from Birmingham, I assume this will be starting service on Bull St and not serving the stop on Moor St?

I'm going to presume that the buses will be loaned across to WA

So i'll be coming along, hopefully be there at half 9 if the 934 is on time. (28 -> 934). I'd have to ask the driver where the 934 stop is!
