4751 is on the 13A, just left Blackheath. Can someone explain the new interworkings on the 12s/13s?

From Sunday just gone 21st both PN and WB are operating the 12/13 corridor I believe due to a shortage of drivers.

Nothing to do with shortage of drivers, it's a combination of things reduction in service 12,s 13,s every half an hour with A,s in between making it every 15 minutes during summer timetable, the other thing is you now have all 4 services on one running board.
From sept westbrom will gain all the remaining running boards from pennsnet garage with the 45 going to Walsall garage so I am told. It's all fluid

Will PN reclaim the 3 back?

no

[I love Walsall buses]

I thought WB run the 45 anyway not PN

No one said it didn't. The post suggests the 45 will move to Walsall from West Brom.

I have heard the 12s/13s to remain half hourly from September going to every 20 minutes in the peak
45 to move later on in year

Looking at the September timetables, that would be correct. Can all 4 routes cope on an half hourly frequency?

Just saw 4679 on the 12 and it's looks like it needs some work doing on the back it's got a grey patch by the nx logos on the back

A couple of platinums have gained split mirrors similar to those arriva use are all buses going to be fitted with them?
