I saw 4774 on the 51 yesterday. An older Enviro is on the 51 every day though so thought nothing of it.

Caught the morning X56 short a few weeks ago, that was a leather E400 (don't know if it usually is, too early for me) and that is a 51 board so could explain some sightings
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Any idea why double deckers have been appearing on the 301/302 lately?

Mainly Saturdays,  but I caught one on the 302 back from Walsall the other night!

I can understand the peaks but during the day?

I've been on that route during the day & the single deckers have been practically empty.

In fact, it's been a source of mystery for yesrs why Mossley has a frequent service & Lower Farm doesn't.

I'd be interested to know the loadings north of Bloxwich & whether some buses would be better diverted to Lower Farm instead,  or even continue past Lower Farm through Turnberry onto Mossley that way (You could interwork 301 & 302 at Mossley! )

Failing that,  run them as 301e to & from Bloxwich only.

Asked Tony at Walsall last week, no news at the moment of 4129. as for 581 it was awaiting attention at WA, hasn't turned a wheel at WA yet, also last Friday, 582 was receiving attention.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I remember 683 at Walsall must of only had one day of use
On 336 then withdrawn and never seen again.
