Ah right @Tony , I know nothing can be done to mitigate M5 problems, however the Ringway, surely Sandwell Council could be approached to try and solve the problems. Otherwise surely they could be diverted around the outside of West Bromwich town centre!

Sandwell Council have promised bus lane cameras later in the year which should help

Well that's a bit of good news then @Tony , just annoys me when routes start to get withdrawn especially when the customers that are affected aren't causing the problems.

Hopefully if the cameras come along as promised and actually reduce the problems, then maybe the 75 could return.

I have read  the allocations sheet.

What is the best bet to find a president other than the 5?

The only people losing out are those who travelled from beyond Carters Green past West Bromwich Bus Station, which was very few, most people doing that journey used the tram, it's much faster, everyone else gets a better services with these changes, the only reason for the extension to Darlaston was to fill the gap caused by the withdrawal of the 38, but this is now being filled by the twice as frequent 79

So will the 74 get new branding?

For President fans the number 5 today is 100% President, long time since that happened!

None of the recent arrivals are on there either, four are out today all on the 48. 4027; 4031; 4095; 4109

Not sure on that one, though there's a notice on the Dudley 74 stand saying the 75/79 will revert to Stand S again on 1st August, where they originally stopped before.
