By the way does the 223 interwork with the 82? Because this evening in Dudley I saw a 9-branded E200 on the 82 but couldn't see which one it was

They must not be going onto the 9 until Monday when the frequency is upgraded to the 20 minutes as stated on the branding. Despite them been branded, it appears they are been used as normal allocated to any routes until Monday, when I hope they are used on the 9.

Today,

2140 was on the 545
2141 was on the 82/229
2142 was on the 82/229

What was the point in giving these E200s 9-branding...

It looks like the E200s are been used normally as they would be without the branding until tomorrow when the increased frequency starts.

Ah I see! That makes sense. I will keep a look out for them over the next week.

Thats only my thoughts. I hope they are on the 9 tomorrow as I need to go into Walsall sometime, and will look out for them!!

Well today on the sunday service which terminates at Bloxwich (Should have displayed a 19E really) it was a Arriva MPD.

Just to note the 8A,335 and 530 are all operated from Wednesfield Garage now and so is the Sunday 142 which Matt said interworks with the 257. The 335/8A had Wednesfield MPD's today with the 530 having a midland optare solo!

Are Sunday 19's operated by Wednesfield too?

It's a shame Centro can't fiddle with the contracts, so the Wolves 28E & Walsall 19 can be operated as one route on Sunday daytimes? (The section between New Invention & Bloxwich is the stumbling block along with the numbering!)

[Trident 4609]

Yes looks all the sunday services operated by cannock are now operated by wednesfield
