I doubt 810 will replace anything as the PVR of the 46 is increasing by 1 due to its extension to Pheasey.

I assume it is a road somewhere between Brandhall and Lightwoods Hill where the 200/201 use to operate with single decks.

It was breastfeeding woman btw.

Seems a little silly to me, nobody on the bus probably noticed anything, and has been said, perhaps someone should invest in a pair of net curtains.

Or maybe do the breast feeding downstairs?..... in the back room? In PRIVACY????
How stupid are some people! u gonna breast feed at an open window people will look
You gonna walk down the street in a low top 'jiggling' them about people will look
If you don't want people to look KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!! honestly

And someone dare reply with 'I have the right to desplay my breasts where and whenever I like'  Please!!

castle road west/east. one of them but according to drivers who do the route, no one gets on or off from brandhall to bearwood anyway, and centro are paying NXWM to do the extension x amount of money until June i think, when it will be reviewed again. Personally i can see it being withdrawn and just going West Brom to Brandhall again like it used to.

I've used it before and it's not that busy. I was surprising the 449 (now 49) was extended to Bearwood when there's so many other routes on the route that serve Bearwood

i would have thought Blackheath was a better option than Bearwood, as its closer and more pensioners go there for shopping, plus it would have gave people of Langley, Brandhall etc another route there

I would actually hazard a guess its more as a connection thing for people from Brandhall, cause face it there aren't really that many options without going up to the hagley road and getting the 9

I thought the same, as the 88 has never really been replaced between Londonderry and Blackheath. I also think Brandhall is lacking a frequent route to Oldbury and Halesowen, also viable options for the 49 terminus

No not all.

Branded ones are 4047, 4048, 4049, 4055, 4083, 4087 and 4114

Unbranded in NXWM livery is 4053

Still in 'Toothpaste' livery are 4044, 4054 and 4113 (which I think is in  for repaint)

I had no idea that the 49 now terminates on the Hagley Road instead of Bearwood Bus Station. Must pay more attention.
