I am not in a position to explain operations I  am merely giving a reason why 2 buses were together!

I have clearly posted there were 2 Tridents on the 4H so what is your reasoning that one is a 4M when a 4M Trident came round the corner and stopped behind the Diamond 4H in all there were 4 buses together eventually so how can that explain your reason for 2 buses together I don't follow?

[Tony]

So how do you explain two TRIDENTS with 4H on the Hanover & B7 stopping together in Coombes Rd together then with a 4M Trident behind the B7?

Perhaps you can give me the fleet numbers, or at least the time so I can check for a reason

[midlandred2003]

At the beginning you said there were 3 buses together now you are saying 4?

It was 7.28am this morning in Coombes Road, as I said to you previously I record each bus I board unfortunately I let the two empty Tridents thru & boarded 30943. It just seems such a waste of your valuable resources at the current time on the first day of your new timetable especially with the 4M diversion it not a criticism of NXWM just an observation to be honest I really don't need 4 buses together just to get me to my GP BLOODS at Sandwell Hospital.

I clearly said there were 3 4H's together the 4M is a separate service and does not serve Halesowen & is of no relevance to my observation it was @midlandred2003 who mentioned the 4M as an explanation not me.

Oh I thought it was 30943 it was a Diamond Value one with part of the signage missing that why I recorded it as I never take much notice of the Diamond fleet numbers using them so much. Could have been 30832. Thank you for the correction @Winston much appreciated.

30832 isn't value branded.

Yes I know but it used to be on the 301 as I posted the signage is now missing.

30832 is in two tone blue livery & looks nothing like it did when on the 301

The Powke Lane diversion wasn't on today as I've driven up and down Powke Lane and even saw 4601 on a 4M coming down it towards Merry Hill. However noticed Part of Cradley Heath is shut as saw and X10 using the 3 route into Merry Hill.

Just looked at NX diversion sheet and Powke Lane wont be shut it'll be Temp traffic Lights from 24/08.

Yes fully agree @Winston it now in the new Diamond livery but used to be in the  Diamond Value livery then they removed the Value & 301/2 branding now its much smarter I describe Diamond buses as I always remember them 30826 will always be Black Diamond Royale to me

The vehicles seen were
4597 which had come from Merry Hill on the 4M and left Halesowen at 07:31
4599 which had come from Hasbury on the 4H and left Halesowen at 07:33

I cannot tell what they were displaying on then destination screens

Thought I was correct. Should get his eyes tested.
