Does anyone know which crimson Trident took Myra Syal around Essington?

[I love Walsall buses]

I didn't know about that I'm curious now

Not sure

If you don't know, then surely there's no need to reply with an unnecessary comment?

I'd be surprised if NX don't go commercial on the 19, 3 & 35A as they'd probably be quite successful.

This will be the first time in 8 years that NX will have operated on the 19(319).

I thought the Monday to Saturday operation on the 319 as was, was fairly profitable for NX back in the day.

It was a surprise that they didn't re-register it back in 2010.

As for the 3, it isn't a surprise it was cut back to Brownhills, as the 10 is now operated to Brownhills West evenings & Sundays!

Does anyone use the Pelsall Road section evening & Sundays, as I would've thought a 10B serving Clayhanger & Brownhills West would have been a good idea instead, possibly interworking with the normal 10?

(Pelsall Lane, maybe the 8 could operate evening & Sundays instead?)

Used the 10A today it was really busy... only a couple got off in Lichfield however there were enough getting off near the bus station to make it worthwhile continuing. There was also a large queue at the bus station waiting to get on towards Walsall. For those interested a non-route specific Platinum bus was used.

Dont forget the Food Festival was on this weekend.

1880 parked up causing a bit of chaos don't know why he stopped to be honest, didn't look like a breakdown to me

Ah yes very true. On another note definitely a bad route for a decker there are some tight roads especially when cars are parked on either side.

I'd be interested to see what happens, if it's still running by then, for the loadings for Lichfield Bower, as Walsall used to run frequent shuttle buses to & from Lichfield back in the early to mid 80's & every bus left Walsall full!

What difference do parked cars make for a double decker?

Just felt generally more awkward (I dont drive so pure passenger perspective!) and there were alot of branches crashing on the roof.

l.murphy123. Height of bus as nothing to do with the manoiverability of the bus.  It's the wheel base and front and rear overhang that is important

I assumed a taller bus would be wider

just so people know.

Saturday's running day is just that. There is nothing going on at Walsall garage, and no access to enthusiasts.
