Quote from: Jay71 on October 17, 2024, 12:04:05 PMThe daytime service was a nightmare. Blame it on roadworks. But that shouldn't have affected the service which didn't turn up

How do you work that, if buses are an hour late then of course journeys won't turn up on time

Are you saying that the 0000 service was late? If so just how late was it?
Funny how the traffic & roadworks didn't affect the service which was due to leave at 0025. I'm sure that left Dudley on time & arrived on time in Walsall

I'm not, but someone else commented buses were up to an hour late

Quote from: Jay71 on October 17, 2024, 10:52:25 AMDoes anybody know why the 0000(today) Walsall to Dudley failed to show up? Couldn't only see one bus on Bus times?

Take your pick, driver or punter falling ill on the bus , random act of vandalism, Breakdown, RTC, bus could have been regulated to do a short journey if running late.

At least I've made a few quid out of this incident

What is supposed to be noteworthy about these?
The E200s seem to be on there nearly every weekday..

Platinums aren't noteworthy on the 126 either, or the B7RLE's. LWB E200's seem to be a daily occurrence on the 126.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are from armchair spotting.

Is that pointless thread still going? It really is about time it was disposed of. Nothing has been truly noteworthy for years.

I agree 100%, the route branded buses off route thread is just as pointless.

Possibly when the 126 was replaced by the X8/X7 between Wolves and Dudley.

Yeah, some of the previous 8/X8 buses were branded https://flic.kr/p/UYfbhN

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and your opinion of what constitutes a 'noteworthy working' clearly differs to others.

"Seem to be" is not the same as "booked type". The whole point of the 'noteworthy workings' threads was to point out 'unusual allocations', or otherwise vehicle types not normally allocated to that service.

Now I don't work for NX so I don't know what the actual 'booked types' are at other garages beyond my local area, and I don't have the luxury of time to go wading through BusTimes to see what is commonly used.

Here's a saying for you all: "if you've got nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all"

I'm not having a small minority of kill-joys ruining things for the few people who still enthusiastically spot buses for fun.
