75 has been scraped today they did it operate to Darlaston not long before withdrawing it does anyone why NX did this.
Severe traffic congestion in particular along the Soho Road and across the M5.

Ever heard of Google?  ;D

I can't be bothered finding the post now, but Tony did state here somewhere that the 75 extension to Darlaston was introduced as a temporary measure due to the Walsall/Wolverhampton changes that came into effect at the end of July.

So, I notice the 82/87 stop on Colmore Circus Queensway is now only served by the 16/A/W & the 424s - I'm speculating - with Sand Pits opening again (outbound only currently) - could we see the 82/87 be rerouted again - via Smallbrook Queensway and Suffolk Street? ???

I believe the small Scania badgees where introduced from 1909 onwards & include ex Dundee 10 plate examples.

Why? If the vehicles are seen as good enough to purchase why hide their make?
