Would there be any exceptions to that rule, such as how Diamond loaned 20883 to Central, who had a 74A paper sign stuck in the window?

No there wouldn't be, as that would involve using some common sense which isn't there strong point.

I know way more about your 'Policies' regarding Bus Service Monitoring than you will ever understand!

Would all Walsall area destinations/services, irrespective of operator, be on the Walsall blind, just in case the tender is won at some point, eg would the 3A to Brownhills West be on there anyway?

No lol its an Arriva service

Is the 2E Evening & Sunday service on the Walsall blind?

I know its an Arriva service.

Just wondered whether Nx would put them on the displays, if they won the tender.

They'd programme them into the displays when they had won the tender. Don't really think someone would go to all the trouble of programming in every single route if they were never likely to operate it!

Probably would be to do with the Staffs County Council funding issue that has caused Arriva to cut their services from April 1st.

Would the service cut back to Brownhills West & run as a 10a?

SCC only fund eves/Sun on the 10 (between Brownhills and Burntwood), daytime service to Burntwood is commercial.

Well maybe that's where the rumour is coming from then? Perhaps evening and Sundays will be cut?

2118 is on the 4 today. No idea how noteworthy but thought it was worth a mention

Eclipse 2's were rare in Bradford  Place when I last caught a bus there around 5 months ago.
(But that will change in a couple of weeks:( )

Don't WA try and keep them off Bradford Place services? They never really stray off the 29, they are quite common on the 301/2.

What's changing in a couple of weeks?

Also, don't Diamond have Eclipse 2's on the 4/4H quite regularly?
