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? ???

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