Hello @Stu , The trouble is, the files are changed on the website and this will eventually mean that the posts will no longer make sense.

New solo operating the 89 is KV16 PWO seen 14:00 today in Solihull

Fleet no 2009 on the 26 today.
Generally the passenger no's look reasonable to me since IGo took over the tail end of TC's 16 route. Only an hourly service now though.

Dorchester Way is to loose the 26 service from 23rd October as it will go straight down Clifford Bridge Road instead... That means only the X31 will serve Dorchester Way.

Service 647 (Five Ways - Weoley Castle) is to have "a revised route and timetable" with an emergency tender (T0429E)

Not sure the Dorchester Way-ers will be thrilled with that (presumably to cut delays trying to turn right onto Clifford Bridge Rd in the Hospital direction). Mind you there wasn't much fuss seemingly when the 16/16A ceased to go that way.

A E200 was on a untimetabled 53E to Heartlands Hospital by Stechford Station at 08:10 today.

Enviro 200 KX59CYY is on the 145 today instead of a usual solo

LT02ZZG has been on LM Cross City rail replacements today. It was supposed to be standby at Selly Oak but as too many people wanted to get on it was used most of the day on Selly Oak - New St expresses along with Central Buses PN03UMJ. Solo KX04HPU has also been in use on rail replacements today between New St and Redditch on the stopping service
