Thanks, lynx1103! I saw 1453 back in service on Monday, serving 39. Glad to see it back on road again.

Some interesting running board changes to note over at WA from next week are listed below...

* Board W41/07, which currently operates the 705 service before going on to the 40/41 (including late night 40Es), will now operate a full length 997 and then a short X51 (Birmingham-Scott Arms) prior to following its original board. I'm unsure if this will likely be Enviro operated as a result.
* The 0924 302 service ex Walsall will now come off the X51 (having previously operated two round trips). Again, this is likely to be Gemini or Enviro operated.
* The PM X56 service will now be operated by a bus that has come off service 10/A (board 10/07). This will then operate an X51 (1655 ex Walsall) into Birmingham before operating the X56.
* Board 336/01 will no longer operate the round trip on the 6. It will return straight to depot after completing the 335.  Evening journeys on the 6 & 10 will all be operated by previous all day 6/10 boards.

Are we still getting that B6 on the 301 that comes off the Alumwell route?

Yes board 335/01 will continue as currently, going on to the 301 & 302 for a light night.

So basically i've got thursday night and friday night to get my last two b6le journeys probably ever on the 6?

Which B6 is on 3r5/02 today? If anybody knows I'd be grateful

1896 broke down in Wednesbury Bus station, blocking 311/313 Dudley stand.

Taking a guess, it was operating 649 311 from Walsall.

( I was on the 659 313 after! )

1855 on the 4 must have been in an accident
by the McDonalds by Sandwell Hospital at 4:55pm

[Westy]

The guy driving 1893 this morning hasn't been on the 311/313 for sometime as he's just gone down Wednesbury Parkway by mistake!

A Walsall bound 935 came out of Greenholm Road, and turned left onto Kingstanding Road at 11.20am. Don't know why as the next one I saw a few minutes later used the normal route

A Gem double decker in service on the 41 has no working destination display,  displaying 41 Walsall on a A4 piece of paper.

Driver on autopilot? Thought he was doing a 997 run? Had that with an X56 a month or so back, he decided to go under at One Stop as per 934/5/6. Took a novel route to get back on course, via Wellhead Lane and the Wellington Rd roundabout

1441 was taken back to wn garage as it broke down at the island by bilston bus station and followed near enough the 25 route.

Orite, gotcha. 1430 is the B10L that has a digital destination blind. :)

Noticed 4769 displays have changed route number is bigger destination has gone smaller, superX i belive is the correct term
