Just seen a 244 to the QE on Pitman Road. So it does run on Sunday's?

Yeah it does and tbh, I'm happy NX continues to run it. Hopefully, PN surprise us with rare working like double decker on welsh house farm estate :)

Won't happen. Only E200's can go round Welsh House Farm.

Alternate 244s on a Sunday do Dudley - QE with the opposite half hour QE - Halesowen shorts

Dudley -> QE -> Halesowen -> QE -> Dudley. That's what every bus on the 244 does.

867 - PN276

Also spotted an Enviro 200 on the PN246 on the way down to Merry Hill and then again on the way back, but didn't manage to catch which one, or if it was even the same one.

@DJ98 E200s are common on the 276 in the evening and lately, the 246 seems to be a mixed bag of everything, presumably because PN have lost some Tridents.

That's because they're 243's and 244's in disguise  :o

Looks like some tridents from the dead box bottom yard been sent to death row top yard

2084 not in service at Stourbridge bus station was on the X96 an hour earlier 276/X96 using either no 9 stand or stand J

Worth mentioning to some? I saw 758 on the 244 this morning @ Harborne, The Green Man.

Cradley interchange now fully open again from this morning
Merry hill bus station should be finished from the 7/5/17 with some routes moving onto stand E and F currently not being used
More seating has been put in shelters after complaints about only two seats per stand
New shelters by car park is like a long green house when the suns out on it
Due to sensors on the doors playing up secondary buttons have been installed to press when bus is on stand

Do PN have there full allocation of buses at the moment?

At 15:15 today the only servicable bus was 4429, with a 9 branded MMC and 2 B7RLEs parked in the dead box.

I know at that time a lot of peak buses will have left, but only having 1 spare bus doesn't leave much if you get a couple of breakdowns?

80* | PN246

@Dom Think the old saying It's a PN bus on a PN route comes to mind at the moment, as at least 823 and 868 are on the 276 also.

Don't quite know whats going on but E200s on the daytime 276 don't seem to make sense as sometimes the B7RLEs struggle to cope?

Hence my comment about PN being short of buses??
