Wolverhampton Garage

[Trident 4609]

Yes the 59 is allocated all double decker type at PL but apart fom E400H's but up to recently the 59 had mostly Spectra's on there with 6-7 out of the 12 all day boards however that has appeared to change since last week with only 1-3 Spectra's appearing. There always seems to be a set amount of each type.

So it was usually 6-7 Spectra's,2-4 Tridents and 2-3 B5's

There was a b7rle on there this afternoon didn't see the fleet number.

2002 it was. But that was on peak board 59/14 which because it leaves garage at 15:10 has anything spare.

Although that is the general con census,  it is still supposed to be allocated a decker. But to maintain 'service-Out', any bus is allocated. [As like the recent appearance of Hybrids on the Bristol]... that being the truth from information gained from earlier postings from you lot ;)

Re WN62 sunday allocation. Have you had definate information to say a B7RLE will be on there every sunday or is this a referral back to last sundays one off appearance of 2028. Because to me, it's wasted capacity and too big to make the turn off Gorsebrook Avenue onto Carter Road.

Better though surely to have an over capacity B7RLE than a clapped Out B6 allocated (that probably actually costs more to run than a B7 in any case)

There are now two Spectra's parked side by side in Miller Street.

Has 4003 now joined 4007 there, or is it another one recently withdrawn?

Once again, I am lost which Wolverhampton Tridents are left in TWM livery  ::) A lot have been coming and going the last few months, so I have lost track of them all

Am I right in saying that
4312, 4555, 4557, 4558, 4560, 4561, 4562, 4564, 4567, 4569-73, 4587-90, 4592 and 4594-6 are still in old livery (all of these are from my fleetlist, so some may be done that I don't know of)

I know that
4310, 4559, 4575, 4579 are either nearly done or completed very recently

4310 is complete and back in service on the 59 this evening (It would have gone out of service now).4559 is back in service too

[Trident 4609]

4310 is back out again on the 59 replacing defective 4583.4576 is on WN25A/C today.

2062 has lost its blue mega rear advert

2017 has also lost its blue mega rear ad,Seen today on the 25A/C/27

It appears last weeks appearance of 2028 on the 62 was a one off rare working,586 is today's bus on the 62

Unless 586 turns out to be a "rare" working.

This is only the second Sunday. It's too early to define what's "rare" and what isn't.

Has route 581 now the 81 always been a WN route or did it transfer over from PE ?

81 is a WN route now. At first, WN did serve 581 then Pensnett took over serving 581 for some time, 581 used to interwork with 541 & 541A (also were Pensnett routes). I only remember this because PE B6s used to operate those 3 routes. Maybe someone else could contribute with more (and reliable) information.

All correct I believe :) It did then transfer back to WN when the 581/2/3 services operated before the review and the 541/A became the 527/A

That's pretty much correct. When the 581 was at PE, NX operated it during the evening. You also had the 544 operated by WN, which I believe is now the 82 and the 545 before that was withdrawn by NX
