Looks like there is a President on the 74/75 from that picture
Looks like it is either 4044 or, 4056? Dose anyone know which one it is?

4056

Seems like it, plus the 74 is at an angle which would not have helped. It is an awful stop when two or three buses are already there, say when a 110, 74 and 16 are all there at the same time.

Jeez some of those comments - there really are a high proportion of retards using Facebook. A timely reminder, as if I needed one, as to why I'm not on there.

There's been quite a few noteworthy workings today from WB, so I'd agree probably just a loan.

Rumours flying around concerning routes operated by west brom garage ,I,m hearing from colleagues and members of the public 89 service to be curtailed to oldbury town centre as it did when first operated. 129 service to be scrapped again.
If it's the case I wander if the frequency of the 289 could be increased or reinstate the 128 to blackheath. November is the month of changes I hear any way. November was also the month used to introduce the last big round of changes concerning these routes.
Maybe 289 will re numbered again 238 who knows.

The 129 isnt being scrapped it is to be operated from pensnett garage from november. Rumours that the 53 is coming back to west brom but only operating to bearwood as the old 450 route. No one will know the truth until changes are actually properly announced :(

Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
