646

Lets hope they last longer than the blue & white ones as they get faded after so long.

Stafford Street, The Prince Northbound out of Walsall is a good example.

Something similar has been agreed for a multi-operator scheme in Burton, but with white bands at the top/bottom to increase visibility in the dark.

Bus stop on Welsh House Farm Road for the 636 is still there.... Despite the route now numbered 99 and not actually serving that part of the road
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

The stop on Frampton way pheasey by the Doe Bank lane junction heading towards city as 997 listed when it actually goes up Gainsborough Avenue and misses that stop!

Also the stop outside Barr Beacon school only has 25 and 934 (936 also stops here)

Fallowfield/ Daffodil avenue, (934) since the flags were changed for platinum ones they have got rid of "and opposite" but people still wait on the opposite side.

Those have all now been reported, so should be corrected soon

The information pillar at the corner of Vincent Drive / Pritchatts Road is the wrong way round. The side with the arrow on directing you to the QE actually leads you to Vale Village and vice versa

Centro's van man is going to be busy.

That one is on the list to correct as well now

And the platinum flag had already blown off the doe bank lane stop last week, I'm not sure if it's been put back!

So is it worth reporting the faded ones or not?

The amount of faded ones around here, better just for them all to be replaced.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Noticed on Tuesday that the 67 towards the City Centre/71 towards Solihull/38 stop near the JLR and Spitfire Island, the last stop before getting to the Chester Road on Tangmere Drive has a notice up for a new 62C route in Wolverhampton from 2014.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Whilst waiting an agonising 10 minutes for an 11A this afternoon in Acocks Green, noticed that the real-time display in the Westley Road stop was still showing timetabled departure for the 40 service (now withdrawn).

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
