Y248FJN is another purchase. That should mean there is now a fully low floor PVR of 13

Can't remember the numberplate sorry.  It was one of the Handyrider ones though

The usual allocations to make life easier are

1 - Y244FJN, Y248FJN, T580JTD
2 - A handyrider and X703UKS
11 - NK51NKE, K565NHC, W143ULR, fourth bus is normally V210ERG
32/33 - Y252FJN, Y131GBO, SK51AYD, W362ABD

Most of that never changes

Y131 GBO was on the 2 and T580 UTD on the 11 today so usually varies on Sundays

I wasn't talking about sundays but i did read and do kniw the sunday allocations as well as monday to saturday so I'm not a total halfwit

mranon

j517gcd is normally on the 11s, with k565nhc, w143ulr, and looks like nk51mke is out in place of v210erg (which hasnt been seen for a few weeks)

33/32s is normall sk51ayd y184knb y252fjn and y131gbo (latter been used in place of x292abu which also hasnt been out for weeks)

1 is y244/248fjn, and t580jtd

w638abd floats around, but isnt out daily on a set route.

im assuming the buses used on service 3 are on the 2 now. this has been x703uks, and the only carlyle dart handyrider h112mob.

all the other carlyle darts (h802opt came back out to play briefly suprisingly) and k118srh together with low floors x292abu and v210erg have not been seen for a few weeks. if this is the case, i wonder how long k565nhc/j517gcd/h112mob have left before travel express is completely low floor

No I didn't mean anything bad Ashley :(  You are not a halfwit whatsoever :). I noticed a H-MOB Carlyle Dart out yesterday. Really couldn't they use just Low Floor Vehicles on a Sunday?

Do Travel Express not run on the 2, 11 and 32/33 on Good Fridays?
I didn't see them on any of these routes, earlier today, despite the fact the NWM timetables state they are supposed to be operating.
We'll get rid of your bus to Wolves and replace it with one to Walsall instead.......... Oh the joy of a Network Review. -_-

I saw a load of them (Mainly MPD's) parked up in the garage just off Dudley Road this afternoon

As I left town, I saw one of their ex-Munro's darts on Market Street.
Couldn't make out the route number though.

no te buses seen in service today - a suprise really, especially with the fair/big match today

I was thinking the same thing.
With them being AWOL, there was none of that usual drama on the 11 and 32/33 stands in the bus station  8)
