Apparently the 205 will be on the 4/4h running boards alongside a 81 being on the 4/4h boards once the 202/142 move to Kidderminster.

I assume pretty much anything could turn up on the 205 then after those changes

Including the former swift226 darts

[bususer12]

Would have thought that it would have been better to use the two that finish on the 226, might save a little on fuel, as an MPD might suit the 205 better that what goes on the 4/H. Guessing duty lengths prevent it happening. Does anyone know if 124/226 interwork?

I'd guess the 4/4H is a greater amount b7rle than before? Haven't seen those routes in a while to know though...

Thanks for the info though @the trainbasher.

The brilliant 30454/5?! :P

@bususer12 yes one board on the 124 does, the one that does at least the 1400, 1500 ex Cradley heath does the 1550, 1750 ex Dudley and 1650, 1915 ex merry hill (then back to depot.) as the driver comes off the 1100 80 arrival at Bilston (then travels passenger on the 82).

At the moment if I remember correctly, the 205 board that starts in blackheath comes off the 142 with the one starting in Kingswinford off the 202.

@DiamondDart 30454 at least lives on the 4. It's been in Halesowen on the 4H Everytime I've seen it!

Thanks for the info @the trainbasher. They're not great though that pair of darts are they?!

They got a bit of a battering on the 226 (and from what I've heard, they did break down quite a bit.

Yeah I went on one a while back that cut out... Guess it is a pretty punishing route with the night and Sunday journeys as well. They're just not in good condition at all.

The 205 will come off 002 and 54 workings and one of the 81's will come off the 122

Last time I saw the 122 it was operating from Long Acre and the 81 from Tividale.

Has the 122 changed to Tividale? Or does one 81 operate from Long Acre?

[Trident 4609]

@fleetline6477 all 81 trips are run from Tividale :)

It sounds as though the 122 may be moving in to Tividale at the same time the 142 & 202 are moving out to Kidderminster
