4801 has been at Wednesfield for a few days now. On the 19 every day.

(I know I'm a few days late, but I assumed someone else had already posted it)

Are the loadings still crap?

Yea they put deckers on a bloody route that hardly anybody catches! Are they retarded?

[Trident 4609]

Well there were a few passengers and they do smart on the 19 (Especially 4801 which looks brand newly repainted). But unfortunatley doesn't require double deckers.

I think the route would be fine with some Arriva Livered MPD's which do appear from time to time.

[Bob]

Exactly. The S-JUA one looks terrible if u look closely with all the dented panels and sounds dead rough too. Nicely refurbed interior though. I hope cannock gets some of the W reg ones at some point

Is this likely to be interworked with the 8a?

Wednesfield depot appear to have taken over the Sunday workings on route 142. 2226 W226SNR was on there along with a DAF/ALX400 double decker, I thought it was registered X449XGP but it must have been 4801 X439XGP

Forgot to say 2226 has also been refurbished/repainted and looks smart

That happened quite a bit ago. A DAF ALX400 on any other route other than the 19 and that school service they operate. So you spotted an ultra rare working ;)

I don't see why it should be - both the 8A and 70 work as around a 50 minute round-trip, with approx. 5 mins layover at either end. By joining the two you wouldn't save on PVR.

4801 is X449 FGP.

Ta, I knew it was 449 that I saw but had to check Tony's fleet list for the fleet number, it seems Tony has a typo on 4801
