Not Platinum operated. Plus Sunday allocations for the 126 is E400MMC.

oh wish it could be a full time thing as passengers will be getting the old busses again and have been downgraded

One board is (126/09). The majority are 'booked' as MMC's as they are on 126 boards.

Yes, the route has seen some changes that went into place yesterday.

The 126 has been cut and is now being operated by Pensnett between Birmingham City Centre and Dudley only. Down to every 15 minutes.

The 140 has been replaced by a new X8 (As the 140 between Birmingham and Dudley but limited stop along the Hagley Road like the X10, then as the old 126 route to Wolverhampton).
This route is being operated by Wolverhampton Garage. Every 20 minutes.

A new X7 has also been introduced (A limited stop version of the 87 skipping out Cape Hill between Birmingham City Centre and Oldbury, then over to the Wolverhampton Road, then as the old 126 route between Portman Road, Dudley and Wolverhampton). This route is also being operated by Wolverhampton Garage. Every 20 minutes.

The Platinum. X7 and X8 combine to provide a every 10 minute frequency between Dudley and Wolverhampton.

Tridents do get on the 9 more frequently now that the allocation of the E400MMCs on the 9, 126 are shared

It would have been an 'interesting' situation if the X7 & X8 hadn't happened, as that would've left Wolves as the only garage without a Birmingham route?

I guess the 126 would've continued otherwise.

I see no reason why Wolverhampton would have to operate a route into Birmingham?
Coventry Garage don't operate any route into Birmingham?

I see but it would have been an interesting oddity though!
