No I have messed up and left them short  >:(

Hilarious Tone. I obviously meant that literally ::)

I think Tony knows what he's doing, plus don't forget the 7 is going to Wolverhampton.

Don't remember saying he didn't  ???

My point was PE only have 24 non-platinum double deckers that have to spread over the 6, 12/12A, 13/13A, 126
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

Pensnett has single deckers that frequently appear on the 12/A and 13/13A so they could be allocated single deckers

Does WB gain anything? Or is there a PVR decrease there?
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

The branding doesn't need changing, If you look at the new 529 timetable on Traveline you will see that it mainly runs every 8 minutes but in peaks does occasionally run ever 7 minutes.

So why does the NX version of the timetable say 10 minutes or less then?

Because when I was at school 8 mins was less the 10 minutes

Is the 45/47 extension to the retirement village an additional edit, didn't notice that last week?

It is but its not much of an extension though is it. 1 bus stop.
It just means last stop is the other side of the island.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

I think so and it also removes issues caused by using the bus stop on the bridge which is a little narrow (and short) to be a layover point.

Staying in the Longbridge area, the 27 will be replicating the days of the old 44 on its way towards Cofton Hackett and the 45 is taking a more direct route onto Groveley Lane. The original maps on Traveline didn't show this.

ISTR back in the days when I used to get a lift from home to our Great Bridge depot approx 2011/2012, I used to see a President up in Green Lane by Beechdale parked up fairly regulary.

This was at the time when Walsall didn't have any Presidents themselves.

I could be totally wrong(Think it was discussed at the time!), but didn't said vehicle go onto WB 74's after that?

Just noticed on the WN 16 that the wombourne shorts on a Sunday and all week evening Penn shorts are withdrawn.

I do wonder how long until the 15 going through himley gets cut down to hourly with the other 2 bypassing Himley

15 Wolverhampton to Merry Hill

I wouldn't be surprised if the 15 got rerouted via the Himley bypass for all journeys

Didn't the 12 originally get deckers to compensate for a drop in frequency of single deckers on the 120? (or am I imagining the 120 used to be every 10 mins City - Oldbury?)
