The 34 is run from Redditch. Tividale drivers do the relief trip.
it's been a while....

@Adam 404, some things to be corrected:

78 needs Enviro 200 removing.
88 is Tamworth operated.
125 needs Versa removing.

The 30 gets 20884 on a daily basis as well, so needs Solo SR's adding.

Those have all been added. Thanks @Jack and @2206
Also, the 16S goes from Kingsbury, Kingsbury School to Castle Bromwich, Beechcroft Road (Kingsleigh Drive stop) (not Curdsworth to Tamworth).
I've seen the buses used on it in the past all the time as it goes out of service to and from the City Centre via the Washwood Heath Road  and Ward End, The Fox and Goose, to operate the X16 and 16S as they are on the same board (it took the same route back when Tamworth Bus were operating it as well, with the Orange Optare Excel and I used to see that bus daily at the Fox and Goose.)

The allocation from what i've seen just seems to be any ex Central Bus at Tamworth - Optare Versa, Enviro 200, Optare Solo.
Most recently I saw it on a while on a 18XX on the 55 in the PM peak on Tuesday, it was laying over at Jennens Road, Woodcock Street before operating the X16 and it was a lwb Dart (I'm sure thats what I saw though according to the main site Tamworth doesn't have any Darts and they only have E200, Versa and Optare Solo).
It used to get Metrocity when with Central Buses as well.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Also the Redditch 64 is no longer with Diamond.

The regular driver who drove it jumped ship from heartlands/Tamworth bus and coach to central buses when central gained the route

41A is West Bromwich to Wednesbury not Friar Park.
202 is no longer Solos, Plaxton Centro now.
657 is a Kidderminster operated route.

I love Walsall buses

I'm having problems getting on the usual allocation sheet it saying it's deleted or been renamed any way anyone can fix this or anyone know what I can do

The 30 seems to now be operated by 20884 and 20982 now, i've seen a Dart get on there for some time now.
The ex Wessex B7RLE at Redditch seem to be on the signature routes (S2, S3, 82, 88, etc) in Solihull on a daily basis now, i've seen loads over the past week or so.
The 28A seems to be largely Solo operated now.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

@Adam 404 would it be possible for you to put a key as to what some of the different colors mean. Some like the 31/32 route number colors I get as being the WMB routes but there are whole lines of green, red or yellow with some bits of blue which make little sense.

Many thanks
