All in one day (today) :

X46/7-

15196, 15444, 18409, 19012 and 28627

How is 15196 rare  (And the others..)??

X4 is a Kettering route and it is rather rare to get a Dart on it!

Happens near daily from what i've seen..

35220 is a regular on the X4!!  ;)
This is it last week:

Anything is regular on anything in Northampton lol..

47076 - 48 (couldn't make it up!!)
47510 - 55/56/57

Can't wait for the Golds, they will probably end up on the 3 to Waddington all day!

Stratford staying open for now but all maintenance etc is Leamington done. The new depot has 10 pits and is fairly big in size, bigger than the old one.

Get ready...

47075 and 47077 - 55/56/57
39695 And 39685 - 48
36166 - 55/56/57

Where do you get this info from?

And where is Trident Park? Coming from what I've heard, The new MMC sheds on order for the 48 will displace the MAN E200s (unfortunately😡) and they will end up in Rugby.

Leamington: 36948 - X18
Nuneaton: 47512 - 18
47510 - 48

39694 - 48
367XX (10 branded) - 48
47076 - 18/Coleshill school kids run, brilliant idea

47512 - 48
Second day in a row.. how ridiculous!!

Even a MAN E200 on a gold route?

Seen a Solo on it before, nothing at all is rare there lol

39699 - X46
(SUPER RARE)
18410- X4

Nothing is rare in Northampton.. lol

36160 - 56

Sunday service! 48 brandeds booked on the 56 on a Sunday

There's not much (if anything) that 48 buses aren't booked on at some point in the week, Ben is right about it not working. The engineering manager said a little while back that he doesn't like the idea of route branding (probably why Matrix got the chop)... There was talk at one point of branding going altogether at Nuneaton, it doesn't seem like that's the case anymore though

Look daily.. there are 7 buses required for the 10 yet there is 8 buses that are branded for the 10, so standard practise is to whack the spare 10 branded on the 5/5A or the 48, but I just dont understand why they couldnt keep it (36757) unbranded

WHAT?  I was really looking forward to Golds on 48!!!

Because of the rotas. There are 2 route 48 rotas (4 day prime and 5 day prime) but other rotas such as the High Hours rota contains a lot of 48, night rota is half 48s. 4/5 day mixed rotas also have 48s on... it just wont work at all
