Anyone know why I saw 51 Branded Envrio 400 near Tesco Willenhall I then followed it after filling up my car the Bus then turned right towards the McDonald's island and then turned left onto the 529 route seen it around 08:30AM

Coming from school routes

700 Ryecroft  -  Grace Academy, Darlaston
701 Leamore - Thomas Moore School, Willenhall
703 New Invention - Thomas Moore School, Willenhall

any of these would bring a bus to that point operating back to Walsall.

934/23 a usual ALX working.

@chris123 really? Usually a Platinum whenever I see it, the 18:35 ex city seems to always be non Platinum but not this one. Anyone else clarify?

[chris123]

I know it was a ALX last week. Could be wrong then, I know its a PM peak bus off a school bus probably.

Wrong. 4326 was on X51/24, not 934/23 (which departs on an X51 at 18:35, not 18:25). 934/23 was an E40D today. Secondly there is no "usual ALX working" on Platinum routes. All are supposed to be Platinum's or Enviro 400's. 934/23 isn't usually an ALX400 anyway. For the past few week's I have seen it, it's been an Enviro 400 of some kind. Thirdly 934/23 does not do a school. It start's as an X51 at 15:30 from Walsall.

How do you guys all know the times and boards etc? Is it still out?

Actually, it was on X51/24... And it is usually a Platinum, so 4326 was a noteworthy.

[chris123]

And how do you know its X51/24?

[GeminiFan1991]

Would I be right in saying that WA has the most "parking" capacity of any of the garages ?

I say this because they house like 179 buses (Going off the fleet summary) and they have a number of trainer vehicles and coaches not to mention they also process the vehicles for paint/ refubs. However I get the feeling BC may rival or even exceed WA.

Since the Darlaston changes last year, has anyone see a bus displaying Bilston 39?

I've seen buses display Bilston 39E, but the 39E doesnt technically exist now does it?

Yes, several of them.

Seen one today there seemed to be one driver who always put 39E up but he's stopped it now

[karl724223]

Drivers can only put up what's programmed into the blinds
