Are Yardley Wood short of Enviro400s anyway, because there seems to be a couple of Tridents on the 50 most times I see it. They must be on other routes more often, plus they also have an extra after 4799 transferred in

For what its worth I haven't seen 4799 for at least a week now so I don't know if its off the road or if It is just eluding me but I do think YW are short of Enviros for some reason(s). I don't think the allocations are helping matters if it's true that the 84 had Enviros running on it again last week!

Well there has been one on the 18 almost every time I have seen it over the last week! Along with a B10 every day, so maybe short of Presidents instead?

Could well be the case, Ive also noticed the B10L has become a daily regular on the 18 over the last couple of weeks and from what I'm hearing there seems to be at least 1 omnilink on the 2/3 daily now aswell as the 27.

Oh no :( when was this, what happened?

Liverpool Street

Why was 1447 (I think.. I'll have to double check) on an all day 49 board? Oddness for sure.

Bingo. Thanks Jimmy H. Seems strange as it has the least amount of B10's yet they appeared off route. Can I recall one being on the 84 previously? I think so.

There were some tridents on the 50 again today and the 49. Rode 4799 only a few weeks ago on the 76E; didn't learn of its history till later.

Last time a B10L got on all day 49 was last year and that was 1450.

You ocassionally get an OmniLink on the 49 as well, a bit more regular than a B10L

Ashley 4566

I have seen that happen as well

I remember when YW was down to 7 Leyland Lynxs in 2006/2007


2-allocated 2
12-1
35-3

Majority was used in all day service although there was a small allocation of this type.
