Someone has to come out and change them, so no they won't.
They might be changed Tuesday onwards as Monday is bank holiday.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Magically on the stroke of midnight?

A man with a van has to go around changing them, it's unlikely to be done at night

Surprised no one has been moaning that there's now two number 9 bus routes serving Wolverhampton...
It's almost like passengers can cope with such a concept
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Bit of a sloppy day all round. For example a number 7 branded bus operating a route that doesn't officially exist anymore. Although timetables and flags suggest otherwise, but the electronic bus stop displays have been updated. And a mixture of X13/X70 operating together.
It's just incredibly sloppy. I don't expect bus stop flags and timetables to be changed overnight (although at one time they were done a week or so in advance) but you'd expect buses to be showing the correct route numbers.

Well at least the 56 didn't operate today lol

Did someone physically see the X70/55 being driven around, or was it reliant on bustimes?

I've seen the 96 go around Lanchester Way, so there is that!

seen two 7 branded busses on the 95 showing 55 asked driver why 95 wasn't displayed he said the blinds haven't been updated yet so presuming same for the X13 so reason why it's showing X70 and all X13 tracking as X70 apart from one which is just leaving chelemsly wood now tracking as a X13 but all the 95 are tracking as 95 was wondering if 6881-6889 have been debranded yet or not

Yes it was me who physically saw all these. I don't arm chair bus spot. I have never even used bustimes.
