Think @Tony has said before that they are part of a 900 board!

Well one is usually a B7RLE and you don't see those on the 900. See also:

@Ashley 60171 It's always nice to see old bus route numbers. Nostalgic! ;D

Just a shame it's technically wrong, 395 went up through Pelsall didn't it?

@Kevin, 395 used to be Walsall - Brownhills - Burntwood (Church) via Walsall Wood and Chasetown. You might be thinking of the 396A and 396C. 396A Walsall - Brownhills Circular via Norton Canes, Pelsall, Rushall. 396C reverse of 396A.

395 did do Pelsall before it got withdrawn in 2010.

I caught it one night to my bro's when he lived in Brownhills at that point!

Yep, just checked my maps and the last one before the changes dated Oct 2009 has it running up through Pelsall and along the Lichfield Rd to Brownhills
Check and mate  ;D

The starting date of the timetable booklet I have was 7th May 2006. My information must be obsolete then... Next time, I will leave it to the 'experts'.

Sorry bud, just couldn't resist proving myself correct for a change, I know those routes have been chopped and changed over the years before and since (and to be fair no doubt always will be)

Judging by the pic tony uploaded of 673* that the old 934/5/6 branding is going to be replaced by the generic platinum branding? I actually liked the 934 branding

That's the X51/997 branding that's been applied. Checking the index page, it shows 4739/40 as X51/997 branded whereas previous photos show them with 934-6 branding.

I agree with you though the 934-6 branding is smart, the X51/997 isn't so good.

I wouldn't even call it branding. It's more "mentioning of the routes"

Sorry @Tony and will the branding change slightly to accommodate 937 being added into the loop?
