Was the Plaxton subbed for the bus in front then last night?

No, it operated what it should have done

Rta in Whitley Street Wednesbury.

313 & 310 on diversion!

Official diversion for 313 at least is via Hobs Road & Wood Green Road in & out of Wednesbury.

(My bus, due to where it was parked, had to emergency divert from Wednesbury via a couple of narrow streets, Park St & Hall End, after checking with control via radio)

Was there problems with some Walsall vehicles this morning, as me & sister came out for the 2nd Cannock X51.

A bus turned up practically straightaway & I thought ' That's early?'

Got to Walsall & sister noticed another X51 behind us coming out of Green Lane with one passenger on.

Suspect we were on the first Cannock bus that was running late.

I got round to Bradford Place & noticed a 313 in the stand, where it should have been a 311.( I know they interwork as the 709 311 from Walsall comes in as a 313!)

We left & the bus followed the 313 route, so I suspect the 659 313 was late !

The First X51 left Cannock Bus Station on time but lost 11 minutes due to some unscheduled roadworks in Bridgtown, because this driver informed the garage of the problem the second one was able to avoid them, hence your sighting. The 6:59 313 was 6 minutes late

Cheers Tony, but what is it about that 659 313 that comes straight from depot that makes it occasionally late?
I'd understand if the bus was late while it was already out but coming straight from depot?

I haven't said anything yet, but I was mugged just over a week ago on Thursday 11th February.
The incident happened on the 935 service towards Walsall at the bus stop on Kingstanding road by the pharmacy at around 16:25. I was sitting on the seat on the bottom deck as a young black male snatched my phone out of my hand and ran. I still haven't got a response back from the police yet. The driver did the best he could and stopped the service until I returned back after chasing after him. I have put this up here to see if anything extra can be done.
