A driver told me today he was on a 29 service last week and a house brick came flying through the window just missing him.

This is random I know but I was watching a YouTube video a few days ago of a Scania on the 4H or 4M (can't remember which) and it had next stop announcements because on the video I heard it say "The next stop is Little London" whatever happened to the announcements in the Scania's and how come they don't have them now?

When the hangovers were updated in 2019 the announcements went. By that time there was a bit out of date on some stops, and the 4H only had announcements up till Halesowen.

Is there a problem with the Alumwell 36 today?

Someone on Facebook reckons there is.

Can it be confirmed or denied?

Yes I was going to ask that but I got sidetracked. Friend of mine had to catch 529 then walk 20 minutes to get home.

Bustimes suggests that the something happened to 861 in the town centre at 17:00 and none of the services after that ran until Diamond took over for the evening.

As mentioned before, I used to catch that route a few years ago & had many issues with it.

I feel your pain.

It seemed to have improved a lot over recent years, until recently with what I presume is a shortage of drivers at WA causing trips to be missed.

I don't think the extension to Merry Hill that replaced part of the WN81 is doing it any favours, either, especially when there's heavy traffic at Merry Hill.

I've taken to walking a few minutes further and getting the WN82 up to Loxdale to connect with the Metro, as it seems a lot more reliable as of late.

Someone posted about a Scania being on the 36 recently, and I saw it on Bustimes too. Thought these vehicles couldn't operate on there?

Spare a thought for the driver of 2126 this morning. 

He was on time, but the previous bus on the Bloxwich Road route was 'missing ', however this didn't stop an entitled ####(insert your swear word there) moaning when he got on, firstly moaning that the driver didn't hear him, when he said £2(I was standing near the front & didn't hear him either!), then he started a rant about the bus being late(which it wasn't!), with a bit of abuse(non swear/non racial), being traded.

Look, we get there's problems (by the time I get in it'll be around 8am, so roughly half hour behind schedule (leave around 4pm!), especially at Walsall, but what can be done about it?

My sister is always moaning about the 9, to the point, she goes out for the bus a hour  before, but she works round it, like me & everyone else!
