Is it normal for b6's, omnilinks and mercs to work the 110 or is it because cannock have 4207?

No, but I would call it an occasional working rather than a rare working

Nah, it's rare now we've only go the 4 B6's, it's normally Scanias that stand in...

There was a B6 on the 8/9 yesterday evening, didn't see which one.

arrivaaston

2631 on the 765 today, is it right to say the remaining for b6's are 2613 V231KDA, 2614 V214 KDA,2615 V215 KDA and 2631 V231KDA and these are staying put?

nx4737

They should be staying put, yeah, if not, Tamworth will be seriously short of buses...

staffsdave

thought it was 2613/4/5/6 staying at Tamworth assuming 2631 is cover whilst repaints are completed

arrivaaston

I thought 2616 was staffords?

nx4737

Okay, Tony, where are you, we need answers! ;D

I have no idea which B6's are stopping, all I know is that it's 4...

The 110 was all B9's today, well, it was this afternoon, no idea what the evening services were.  765 Had a merc on it too.

2613/4/6/31 were all out last Tuesday.  2616 was, as I mentioned, on the 5 on Friday night.
I haven't seen 2615 since 29 Nov. when it was on the 780.
Only Guy Arabs (a choice of 63) stopped at my front door 1957-1964!

I'm not too familiar with Tamworth buses but I went on two B9's on the 110 today (4207 and 4205) - but I also remember seeing a single decker on the 110. Don't know what it was though.

I did spend most of the day waiting for something on the 110's route though so I probably saw all of the 110 buses go past.

I don't see why they feel the need to use B9's on the 110 though, there were maybe 10 people on the bus at peak? Surely a single decker could manage easily. Is it busier during the week?

You should have been on the 15.20 110 ex Birmingham today.  Absolutely packed through Sutton!
This morning saw 2614 work the 10.00 112 Birmingham to Lichfield!
Only Guy Arabs (a choice of 63) stopped at my front door 1957-1964!
