Due to 244 requiring Enviro 200's, having 2 short wheel base Enviro 200's off the road and a number of longer Enviro's off the road. Tridents are the next best option for the 222, which is why 829 ended up on 244 yesterday.

Why does it specifically require E200's? Does a low bridge prevent deckers from working it, and/or is there an issue with longer vehicles like the B7RLE's?

Low trees prevent deckers and the turning into wisely way / Rilstone Road is so tight that it means if a B7 is used the estate has to be missed out. Often difficult to get an Enviro 200 around when the silver land-rover is parked at the end of the road

Got you, cheers. I haven't ever been further than Halesowen on the route so I don't really know it that well, thanks for clarifying it.

Welsh House Farm. Not the nicest Estate in the world, neither is the Grace Mary Estate.

Don't know what the clearance is but a few of the trees on Welsh House Farm Road, Wisley Way, and Firsby Road look like they might be tight for deckers. I don't think NXWM or its predecessors have ever used a decker on the 636, 99 etc.

I presume just the regular allocation? It's a WB route, so wouldn't be affected by the E200's off the road at PN, unless WB loaned some to PN.
