Banga buses

[Kevin]

Most likely been answered somewhere but really can't be bothered looking...
Does their 82 take over from the 545 the run or is that still going? Cause it's the same route aint it?

Edit:
Ignore that, thought it was going to run through from wolves like the nx version, didn't realise it was Bilston-Dudley only

Banga Dart just arrived in Dudley and i have to agree, it does look smart

Does anyone know what times (as a guess) banga are doing the 82 out of Dudley?

The one i saw left around 8:40, not sure if it was on time though

@the trainbasher I think they depart in the intervals of the 82 so there would be a bus 00,10,20,30,40,50.

@the trainbasher not fully sure but i imagine it will be like that as I think they are from Bilston as well.

Aren't there only 6 trips per day on the 82?

Yeah, that's what I thought. Still haven't seen the timetable so don't know what times they operate.

Network West Midlands 22nd June service changes says: "Mon-Fri only, six return trips between Bilston and Dudley, two of which are extended to/from Wolverhampton."

Reference: See here.

Cheers @P419 EJW.

I presume the midday extension to wolverhampton is to cover lunches/swap drivers

[Kevin]

Only a half arsed effort at random times no ones really going to bother using it are they? I would bit purely out of interest, nothing else

[the trainbasher]

@Kevin I presume it's to allow for a one bus working system

[the trainbasher]

This Banga dart has cut out 10 times and on the dashboard he has got 4 red lights at least with a constant beeping noise...

...and we're about 15 minutes down!!!

Odds on the 1502 ex Bilston not having a dart is most likely!!
