Befree the timetable was altered September 2022, the Stagecoach MCSL 41, 42 (Mill Park-Woodchurch) did a loop at both ends of the route, 41, 42 was effectively a circular route between Bromborough Allport Road & Mill Park, but 41, 42 operated a one way loop around Woodchurch. However due to no...

From Waltham Cross to Enfield the 310 went via Enfield Highway & Ponders End, think the difference between the 310 & 311 was different routes around Hoddesdon & Broxbourne

When West Midlands launched the regional express network, they numbered it into the 9xx series, it's only the last 10 years the network has had some routes numbered in the X series

X51 was the old 951 Birmingham - Cannock, at at one time their was a 950, 951, 952 & 953 Birmingham - Walsall - Cannock - Hednesford, with some journeys continuing to & from Brereton. Eventually only the 951 survived, even that was scaled down to peak hour service, before being relaunched as...

907 used to be 107, Birmingham - Sutton Coldfield via Perry Barr, National Express West Midlands decided to speed up the route & made the Birmingham - Perry Barr section limited stop section, thus renumbered the 107 to 907 to fit in with the 9xx series which were limited stop, & express routes...

310 used to go in to London, 310 Hertford - Enfield, but was cut back to Hertford - Waltham Cross, think just after TFL was formed.

The 440 London - Derby which had a daily extention to & from Manchester, calling at Matlock, Buxton, Stockport, which are no longer served by National Express. Think Stockport had a couple of routes & the 440 too but all gone. Altrincham too used to have a couple of National Express routes...

That's surprised me as i thought the walls were lower than that, certainly high enough for the old, low height Leyland Olympians, & Bristol deckers that Crosville, Crosville Wales had, but not high enough for standard height buses.

I'm at Moorfields now waiting fot the Kirkby train only to find it's been canceled, 777012 which should have been the Kirkby train went past not in service

Interesting that was scheduled to do a second round trip to Chester, but didn't do so because it was so late. & that's after leaving the depot late too.

First Potteries 3A, 4A, the 3A goes from Hanley to Talke via Burslem & Kidsgrove then changes to a 4A back to Hanley via Newcastle, same with 4A changing to 3A around Talke.

Before covid most of the North Wales councils published their own timetable books which were very good, (for me Conwy was the best of them), now they just fob you off with a QR code in the timetable display case at the bus stop, with the lazy attitude, bus times are changing so often, that...

Caught the 5 Llandudno to Bangor yesterday, reliability on the 5, 5D, & 5C is awful, buses are reguly late, often running in pairs & this is a service that's every 20 minutes over common sections, that i think the whole 5, 5C, 5D route should be split at Bangor (i know the registration is split...

I think the T3 Wrexham - Barmouth (& the other numbers it's had through the years) is a replacement for most of the old Ruabon - Barmouth line

I see, the new buses could have been registered on a 23 plate & be ready to use straight away, but the bus company decided to keep them in store so they can register them on a 73 plate, & so cant be used until registered

Also some E400MMCs that have already been delivered to Rock Ferry on 23 plates (but not entered service yet) will gain 73 plates instead, not sure how that works.

2W06, the 07.51 from West Kirby didn't even make the round trip this morning, as it got canceled at Meols on the return journey, & seems like the issues started at James Street P1, were it departed 8 minutes late.

Yep, & some units have been stabled in one of the sidings at Crewe, for quite a whilst too.
