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

Thought that'd be the case. Possibly too much reprogramming to be done overnight.

I walked around Auckland Drive/Windward Way this evening. On Auckland Drive there were notices on each of the 96 serving bus stops explaining about the route changes, and where applicable where the nearest stop was. The live arrival signs in the stops had been updated, but a lot of the ones on Auckland Drive are malfunctioning so aren't displaying all the information correctly.

Could be fun on Tuesday if Perry Barr haven't altered their blinds by then as we may see BC showing 55 & PB showing 95 or could be vice versa

First day things going wrong, but still a bit poor show really.

Hopefully, things have gone a bit more smoothly at Walsall, as there wasn't much to change on their displays.

Adding '8 Lichfield via Pelsall & Brownhills', '9 Wolverhampton via Bloxwich' or similar & removing '10a Lichfield'!

(I do realise there's probably some other minor alterations, but those were the main ones ISTR!)

It doesn't make any difference how many changes there are to make, as long as there's one somebody still has to physically plug either a big box, or on the newer destinations a USB stick into every bus in the garage, and when garages have up to 200 buses that is a massive task
