Is that the one with the fleet name over the driver's window/front door?

Must admit I prefer the fleet name in the centre personally.

I do as well, but I have got used to the white logo now

It makes room for new branding in the future, but hopefully adverts are not posted in the space created by moving the logo forward

Former Flights FJ11MLE/F/K/N/O are all parked in Walsall garage.
547 is back from accident repairs and 581 has transferred here from Wolverhampton

How come these are here Tony?

5, isn't it? X51 = 3 buses, 934E = 1 bus, 935A = 2 buses (don't quote me on that)
I think the evening and Sunday PVR of the 997 is 3. The full 997 requires 2 and the E requires 1
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89

I think the evening and Sunday PVR of the 997 is 3. The full 997 requires 2 and the E requires 1

There are six 934 running boards on a Sunday (which includes workings on the X51 & 935A during the daytime). All these boards are out at the same time so the PVR is 6.

The 997 also has six running boards on a Sunday, although has a PVR of only 3 (in service) or 4 (if you include the bus running dead to start service). This is because at certain times the 997E vehicle returns back to depot for driver changeovers with dead running between Pheasey & Walsall Garage. For some reason, different stints on the 997E fall under different boards (although in reality it may use the same bus for more than 1 board).

Wonder if something happened in Birmingham today because the 241 was 20 minutes late off a 140 in Dudley and the 126 was running very late today (Both 4583 and 4542 seen very late displaying not in service and 5510 was also put into service)

When? Because I saw two 997 branded buses come from Pheasey onto beacon road together about half 2 this afternoon, but the one went up towards Barr beacon (presumably NIS back to garage) instead
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

1896 on 311/313 today, yes I know it's been back for a week or so but it was strange seeing an Omnilink in the new shade of red in Dudley!
