Anyone know when the January changes on Notice & Proceeding (I think?) will be available online?

I've been given an allegation about a certain route, that I want to check it's kosher!

If the allegation I've been given is correct,  I'm intrigued to know why it's happening,  considering said route already has issues anyway

Got a photo of 4870 today, but can't make out the second name. First name is Isabella, and the second name begins with M - looks like Mariah. Just another named bus that I've photographed in the past few days that isn't listed anywhere as having a name.

That's because they have only just been named, and although I have a list of the names, I haven't a list of which buses they have been applied to

Special mention today for the 'Driver Mentor' on the Darlaston corridor.

Hearing that someone on the 39 at 0725 had left something on a 29, he offered to ring the depot for them.

Offer was declined, as the party involved was sorting it out themselves,  but it's the thought that counts!

Anyone know why the Reedswood Sainsburys bus stop is out of action until further notice?

Any reason why the 19 has to use E200's?

When Nx ran the route as the 319, prior to the North Walsall review, I used to see B7LRE's on it, & I don't recall any route changes since then, unless there's been an increase in parked cars on route since Nx last operated it.

It doesn't have to. It just makes sense to. Why would you want to use anything bigger than a 37 seater on it?

Just been on a single decker X51 to Cannock... that's a first

They have done so under the old Cheslyn Hay route due to bridge works in the past.

Believe it was mention that a few vehicles off the road due to contamination to diesel so will be a few unusual workings at Walsall

Yes quite a few 'non platinum' buses on platinum routes in Walsall.

It's never carried great numbers in recent years so, you're right Tony, a large bus isn't needed - in fact, I remember Johnny Horan doing permanant lates on the 319s and having the standalone Dodge S56 minibus on it. He also kept B6 640 on it too.
