What does the 54 interwork with in Wolverhampton?

There's a board iirc that does 5's all day then does a 54. As far as I'm aware there's no other interworking.

In regards to Westy's point. The branded E200s are used on there regularly, due to there only being 2 buses, its possible that one or even both could've been off the road.

Need to do a Birmingham to Sutton run at some point to see a mate... which is better Sapphire 110 or Platinum X3/X4/X5?

I was on the 4M from Merry Hill yesterday which isnt a Platinum but had next stop announcments on the screen that usually displays CCTV. Interesting.

I don't get why everyone has to say the 74 and the first word is wrecked. If nobody has noticed BC send their Platinums through Small Heath on the 60, equally the same sort of area of Handsworth, but never hear problems of the Platinums being trashed.

Handsworth was very much a second home to me in my childhood, I never experienced any issues on either the 74, 78 or 79.

The PVR for the 74 is fairly high, so seems like a non-starter in regards to Platinum

A more polite reason against a Platinum 74 - it's a 24 hour service so therefore there is more risk of criminal damage. It's also very frequent so they would need quite a lot of busses = £££.
