One on 1876 this afternoon. Driver was letting him print tickets, he had "West Midlands Buses" hand written on hi-vis jacket and also had a running board. Actually I know who it was, not a member here though.

Of course, I was just sitting there with my phone out leaning on the window - so I am not easy to spot. And don't really give any clues!

I've heard about him! Has near enough full NXWM uniform doesn't he?

Just saw @John departing Sutton driving 4779 I think on the 907.

1910 is popular today, just been photographed again leaving moor st by a spotter I have never seen before.

Not sure. He goes to my school and just puts the hi vis on top of his uniform... I was just talking to him on 4919 having got the 1532 902 towards city centre at lower parade. Might have something to do with the school tie being mostly red but yet nothing like NXWM uniform as it has stripes, not connector bars/complete red.

That was me! 1910 was the first bus I photo'd today. I'd just arrived at moor st by train and was hoping to see it on the 35. My luck must have been in because it was only the second on the route that I saw.

I believe @John is driving 4920 on 902. Seeing as I am on it while posting.

Yesterday, I saw a young lad walking around Walsall Bus Station, writing down the fleet numbers and other info on his small notepad.
