Driver on 1851 is leaving timing points 3-4 mins early...

The guys taking the piss must be a timing issue on his machine or just a poor driver

Some will stay as cover and for possible frequency increase in September

Great to see some of the hydrogen buses out today (Sunday) and on some of the different Walsall-Birmingham routes.

Is this a one off? Or has the go ahead now been given to get more of them on the road and different routes etc.
(I know it was mentioned a few weeks ago, but wasn't 100% completely confirmed).

Must admit the journey I got this morning around half 6 was a single decker!

Maybe peaks & daytime service, but I wouldn't be surprised once the funding from McArthur Glen has gone,it goes to hourly on Sundays.
