Arriva - Unusual Workings

[Trident 4609]

4796 (DAF ALX400) on 10 today

Saw that again around 18:00. Anyone know if it was a peak board or on there all day?

Is anybody visiting/visited to Flower Show to see the buses brought in to work extra duties - the bendy buses are there again!

Mostly, but some singles do operate the 19 as well

[Bob]

Maybe theyre starting to realise that deckers are absolutely not needed?

Oh, what other singles operate the 19 then, as I thought this was unusual, also does the 517 operate of Wednesfeild garage, or is 2144 on loan ?

517 is out of Wednesfield.

Solos, darts and Enviro200s have all worked on the 19s.

It used to be one of the Tridents and a single decker, usually the Excel from what I can remember

Off topic a little but have the Excels and Scania's gone ?

The Scania OmniCitys have long gone. Midland transferred them to D&G before the Arriva takeover, along with the 2 9 branded VDL MCV Evolutions. I think the OmniCitys have since transferred to South Lancs Travel

There has only been one Excel with Midland/Arriva for a while, 'S2 CLA', 3151. According to Tonys fleetlist, it is still in service at Wednesfield
