New timetable from March 4th and a frequency reduction as well.
Looks like a reduction in PVR from 4 to 3 as well.

Discount NA52AXN was on the 71E this afternoon.

NA52AXN is now a regular on the 71E. It carries the fleet number 08 but I couldn't see any sign of the legal ownership. They are still hogging the stops in Solihull.

They are always hogging the Solihull Stop.

MW, It was not me taking photos in Solihull yesterday. I made my observations on Sunny waiting for the 73 to go back home. A Sunny bus arrived at the stop 12 minutes before the booked time and was still there when my 73 arrived. Previous Sunny's had left early.

Sunny operating 103, 105 and Discount 08 on the 3 vehicle 71E today. RKT driver appeared to be driving the Discount vehicle. The timetable at the Wheatsheaf was showing RKT operating only in the evenings but the timetable in Solihull and that on Network WM website contradict this. All very mysterious.

Sounds like the unfortunate cocktail of Cowboy's and a Combined Authority that couldn't organise excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages in a brewery...

[Eric Shaw]

Ignore my last post on Sunny. I misread the timetables at the Wheatsheaf because they use a different format  for the them on each side of the road. Also Social 08 may have been on loan to RKT nut Sunny.

At least it means the Solihull town Stop won't constantly be blocked.

At least it means the Solihull town Stop won't constantly be blocked.

Currently -
Sunny have 3 buses on the and RK Travel have 1 on the Chelmsley Wood to Solihull corridor.
From the end of April -
DTS will have 1 bus on the, RK Travel will have 2 and Sunny will have 1.
So together they'll have 4 buses on there, the same as currently.

Wonder which bus will join the rk travel fleet

But DTS and RK don't hog the Stop like Sunny do!
