The 70 operates between Birmingham City Centre and Chelmsley Wood. Not Birmingham City Centre and Solihull. The Chelmsley Wood to Solihull section was withdrawn over a year ago.
It also says the 72 operates between Chelmsley Wood and Solihull via Marston Green. Though it was extended to Birmingham City Centre in 2010.
In my email it says "Walsall to Bloxwich" though they may have modified this since on their website...

Still a big mess up by TfWM / whatever they wish to be called at this time...

They are usually found on the 9 on Monday-Fridays and 246 (Dudley-Stourbridge) at weekends.

Is this a trick question

Here is a question for those in the know at Pensnett.

I have noticed the Wright Streetdeck style bodied Volvo Hybrids in South London seem to be unique amongst double deckers in the area in that the combined front destination panel and upper deck windscreen mists up in the current cold and damp weather and even in dark conditions with illuminated roller blinds you can't read the destination blind properly. is it possible this is a design issue in that the destination box may not be sufficiently insulated from the upper deck - has anyone noticed if the NXWM Streetdecks do this?

Some drivers revving the Mmc with the handbrake on, when pulling away onto islands. Must say they go quite quick!

Have heard nx 4H will not follow diamond 4H. Don't ask for sources

The 200s launch off the line quite quick if you give them just enough gas but not too much as it'll jump into second.

I personally have never seen it happen.

Btw, Heinz for ketchup, hands down!

In pictures I've seen of Streetdecks and my own sightings it isn't an issue.

(Heinz for mayo. Don't mind about ketchup)
