20808 YX56 JUE - 16

Is it unusual to have  a Primo on the 16?

It depends what time you saw it. A peak working on route 16 goes off onto 647 leaving Five Ways at 9.35 which can be a Primo or a Solo. Not sure if it goes back onto the 16 after the 647 finishes about 3.30.

I'm not sure but the 122 may have one of the LAC peak workings off the 50/16 as well...

It probably was a peak working, would have been around 5:20ish probably

30833 & 20538 both unusual workings on the 226 (30833 replacing 20538...)

Well spotted, I did the swap on these 2. Quite late in the evening as well so surprised this one got noticed  ;)

Quite a good swap I would imagine-an eclipse for a KS03 solo! Maybe it is just me though that thinks they are the worst buses in the fleet especially in the summer. They don't really like hills either so the 226 doesn't seem a great choice of route...!

30454 on the 002 today.

Lucky 002 passengers then ;) It is definitely one of the worst darts at Tividale, no doubt due to being pounded round the 226

30207 on the 142, a very strange sight.

I reckon cadets are needed though for some journeys instead of being squashed into an MPD. How busy was 30207 and would you say the 142 is busier or quieter after the changes?
