I spent an hour and a half on the ringway this evening from 20 past 6 until 10 to 8 and saw the following:

4432, 4586, 4385, 4656, 4070, 4635, 4578, 4529, 4960 & 4930.

It will be interesting to see what turns up over the next few days - there was certainly some variety today!

I take it these rail replacements essentially shuttle between each station

It's a mix of express services calling at Sandwell and Dudley only and stoppers calling at all stations

Makes sense taking into account the roads their traveling on.

Looks like it's normal service on the railway today (even though it's a bank holiday). Quite a few buses out at the moment including 4878, 4776, 4939 and 4586 which I'm on at the moment.
