Thought I'd start this topic off and now every time any of you see a Branded Bus on another route whether they're unusual or not unusual list them here
I've got one from today
1811 (55) > 17
X96 Branded Mercedes > 222 (Didn't catch fleet number)
Isn't this covered by unusual workings?
Back in the days of the green branding, Alum Rock and Pershore Road branded tridents used to regularly appear on the 60.
2072 is one of the buses used for ML1
On the first day of the new 529 branding, 4603 went onto the 59.

Not really, a Trident on a Trident route (for example) is not unusual, branded or not.
WN- Route 6 branded B7RLE on the 4 yesterday (Didn't catch the fleetnumber) but 4006 has a photo of it on flickr.

If a 935 breaks down a 51 would be taken off to cover the trip. The other week 4877 broke down and 4864 was taken off to cover the 935 trip.
Service 51/935A interwork evenings. The 51/935 boards are booked to use non branded enviro but if get changed a branded bus could apear.

Oh Right, thanks for that 'Lynx1103'. So now I know for next time (:
and thanks, glad to know my work doesn't go unnoticed even though they are not the best quality, but that's due to the camera as my other one broke :(
Route 6 branded 2077 on the 5/25/27
Regular basis green branded 14 (I think 4165 but you better check) on the 61/63 on short running board from garage in the afternoon to cover the peak.
And I had a B6 on the 47's 1550 - 1936 back before Christmas... that was interesting... To cover rush hour in a midi haha
37-branded (again) 1939 on the 71 today.
Here is route 6-branded 2077 in Dudley Bus Station, somewhere where it should never be seen! Although it says out of service, it was on the 27: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nitromatt1/8664381692/in/photostream

A 935 branded bus on the 51 happens quite a bit on a Sunday by reading posts on here and seeing one myself earlier in the year.
Don't the 51 and 935A interwork on a Sunday.
935 Branded buses shouldn't be used on a Sunday as the 935 on the branding does not run on a Sunday.
By the looks of it no they don't interwork.
I thought it was the 935A/X51 that interworked

Correct. On a Sunday daytime the X51 & 935A are interworked. No 51 boards operate any 935A journeys until the late evening, where a similar set-up to the other evenings take place.
37 branded Omnilink on the 1 this morning in Acocks Green village.
Wouldn't normally bother reporting this kind of occurrence, however the bus in question (1939) has lost the big '37' vinyls off the passenger side, so it only reads "Every 5 minutes" on the side, which I hope didn't confuse any passengers who might think the 1 has had a frequency increase! ;D

Same Again today!
Noticed usually in the morning peak. Is this to put the bus on a diagram to enable it to come off at the end of peak to go back to Birmingham Central for scheduled maintainence. (Suspect it is probably easier to do this on the X64 which is nearer Liverpool Street than pulling it off a 99.)
808 has now been de branded. Saw it Tuesday branded, but today it's been removed.

Branded 8/8A - Out on the daytime 5 (4893)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/90949252@N04/8981210876/
branded 997 (4772) - out on the 935
Looking at the new running boards for Walsall after the North Birmingham review changes there will have to be work done to keep branded buses on the correct routes.
I believe all boards involving the 935 will work at least one journey on another route so they will all need to be debranded/amended.
In addition, there is only one all day board that solely operates the X51 - meaning the other branded buses on this route would have to be confined to peak boards. During the peak periods, the buses on the 997E & X51 seem to swap routes, so care will have to be taken to keep branded 997 vehicles on the correct boards. I assume the reduction in full length 997 journeys, may be freeing up a couple of Leather Enviros to enable the X51 on to the 997 buses to also be leather seated.
Add all of that to the fact the 935A & 51 journeys are still mixed in with the others 'all day' boards and route branded buses off route in Walsall could become quite frequent!
Isnt the 935 going on a board of its own if it isnt on one already

During the daytime hours & on Saturdays that is the case, but during the weekday peaks the bus will operate a mixture of all 3 routes.

Tony, Does the 934 do the full route to Walsall on sundays or a shortened working?
Just to Pheasey
Remember Sutton Lines Route Branding on 4279-4299 and 4110-4119
902,904,905,915
Birmingham-Erdington-Sutton Coldfield
107 113
Birmingham-Perry Barr-New Oscott
so a combined route branding 934,935,936
Birmingham-Kingstanding every 10 Mins would work

WIll the 934/936 receive separate bus branding or will both routes be in 1 branding

With the 935 been de-branded, they all might get a branding 'express to Kingstanding' every 10 minutes, or just left unbranded

Yeah may be, with Walsall taking on the 934/936 and not having the toothpaste enviro's in service yet Walsall may be short on double deckers so a 51 branded one probably the only option left.

Touchéé, although the 997 still serves the cat and fiddle and the crossroads on the other side of the hill, so the only thing really is the beacon itself, and lets face it most people drive there or i guess would willingly walk from the new 997 route. Thinking about it I reckon the 936 could run evening and Sundays as well, replace the 935A?

May have been 5421 and not 5419. Either way there were 2 E400H on the 126 last night.
This is becoming rediculous with allocating hybrids. The amount of routes the E400H appear on i think a few should be unbranded incase of things like this happening.
Last Sunday 5411 and 5419 were both on the 59 all day!

Well it is the last bus out (Board 59/06) and on the 59 today are
2 tridents (4607 and 4553)
3 B5's (5510/12/13)
1 E400H which is 5416
4607 is the first bus out today however the first journey is usually a hybrid
5512 is on the second board 59/02 and thats usually a trident
So it seems the 1st and 2nd board allocations have swapped
What's the Sunday PVR of the 1?
Less than 10. Thats why i think not all of the E400H should be branded because how many appear off route.
5413 is currently on the 59. Wasn't on early this afternoon and i think its replaced 5510.

So, in theory, the 1 could be fully hybrid, with a branded bus in the garage, and 5 unbranded hybrids and a refurbished Trident on the 59.

Never go to Solihull but from looking at Lots of Photos and what i see on the forum yes it is usually Omnilinks and B7RLE's
Do Presidents/Geminis ever get used on the S1? If so how usual or unusual is it?
Presidents and Geminis have appeared on the S1 before (as well as B6LEs, B10Ls and Metrobuses, when AG had them), the route only uses one bus, so I guess its whatever is next in line to go out in the morning that ends up on it.
When I last regularly visited Solihull (when I used to work in Shirley), I'd usually see a B10L on the S1, so I naturally assumed it would be an Eclipse 2 B7RLE that would replace it when the B10Ls were withdrawn.
Yes, it is usually a B7RLE, and sometimes an OmniLink. I have not seen a decker on there for a while now

Hasn't happened for at least a few weeks now. But still a Branded Bus off route. Is not the Unusual workings thread ::)

1861 (branded for the 4) on the x51 (and so the 934 & 935a) today
Wouldn't it do the 51 tonight at some point aswell ?
Had a look at the running board on me way off the bus and it seemed to finish as an x51 about 6ish
So, a fantastically vague one, but.....
A "50" branded enviro spotted heading out of Albert St onto Moor St Queensway in the city centre, now as the 50 turns round before then I can only assume the bus itself was not on route 50... No idea what route it was though, as I was right down the bottom of Moor St at the time on the 67

The YW Enviros also occasionally appear on the 6 too, as well as the 2 and 3.

All the services that terminate on Carrs Lane (2, 3, 5, 6, 31, 31A, 37 and Johnsons X20) exit via High Street and Albert Street back onto Moor Street Queensway. YW operate the 2, 3 and 6 services, AG the 5, 31/A and 37.

I'd say the 2 and 3 get more Enviros than the 6, but that could just be spotters luck. Makes sense though, with the 2 and 3 being allocated double deckers anyway

Probably about the same. The 6 does see a few Tridents most days, as well as the odd Enviro.

4705 is meant to be 82/87 branded (is it still incomplete as per Tony's picture (http://wmbusphotos.com/NXWM/4700-4879/4705.html) from March?), so yes, it is 'off-route' on the 80.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/retroscania/9527392382/
I see NX have sent some of their better presented buses ::)
There all a bit scruffy this year aren't they! Not the best image to present to those using the service who don't usually use the bus the rest of the year, a contrast to all the 61 plate Enviros from last year
Coming back from V festival it actually makes sense, why put a nice clean(ish) new(ish) bus on a service designed purely to take people back from a muddy music festival when you have buses that have been used on the 14 at your disposal?

On the contarary they have put many recently refurbed WN tridents on for the V festival. Evidence here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/retroscania/9527249202/in/photostream Yes there are some old boots on there but I was surprised how many 'Nice' buses have been used. I guess although the mud people from all over the UK will come and I think it is good that NX have put some of their 'Nicer' buses on giving the company a good image and something maybe we can be a wee bit proud of for once :). Furthermore all these people using the shuttle buses 'Have to pay' so they deserve a decent bus so to be honest I think NX have hit a happy medium here
One thing that has suprised me however is that normally you see branded buses on the wrong route, single deckers on double deck routes etc but for V festival they have managed to find 20 odd 'Spare' buses from somewhere :o :o :o
Unidentified 97 branded Trident seen on 14 while standing on Marston Green platform yesterday afternoon.

There was a time a while back, I think just after Acocks Green took the 966 over from lea Hall, that the 966 had to be single deck operated due to overhanging trees after the route was changed. The trees were cut and the 966 reverted back to double deckers
I've seen 37 branded Omnilinks on 966 a couple of times.
This morning I saw a 37 branded Omnilink on the 71 in Lode Lane about 09:15.
Passed it on a roundabout which had tree in middle so couldn't get the fleet number!

Nice touch adding the green stripe between the red and white. Makes the branding look more complete than just a couple of stickers.

I think the 900 will get Branding aswell because the "up to every 7 mins mon-sat daytime" gives it away :) I like it just weren't expecting it ;)
I take it the 900 will resemble the 957 branding ? probably with a different colour
It looks really good. Just surprised there isn't a joint branding for both the 900 & 957
I didn't realise the new branding was already being discussed here haha, I started a new topic like "look guys!" :')

There always used to be a B6LE on a morning 14E, and when the E200 came along they would appear on there too. However it's been months since I saw one. Unless I leave for work at a slightly different time now.

There always used to be a B6LE on a morning 14E, and when the E200 came along they would appear on there too. However it's been months since I saw one. Unless I leave for work at a slightly different time now.
I think the journey, which leaves city as a 14E to Tile Cross still exists, but on the odd occasions I've seen it over the last few months it's been operated by a Trident.
A branded 55 on the 90E to Fox& Goose earlier but i'm assuming this must be a regular school extra service.
1879 (Branded 4) - out on the 51

Well I first saw it around 17:25-17:30 at Haden Hill, going towards Birmingham. Used this to work out in my head that it would one of the two buses on in the evening, then intercepted it later on for a ride.

I'm sure BC have some issues with the volume of B7RLE's, there doesn't seem to be enough to go around. Could do with a few more E200's, unless this was a peak working?

Yes, it probably was. Didn't bother looking at the exact number!
Monday 16th X96 branded 1631 on the 243/244.
Yesterday afternoon in Wednesbury well out of its normal area 82/87 branded 4711 on the 731 schools service.
The afternoon 731 (after finishing in Tipton) then does an 87 from Dudley to Birmingham at around 4.20pm. I've seen branded vehicles on it before.
1640 (X96) on the 53/289 this morning.

No they all run in.
It should be only high-capacity single deck vehicles of a night.
The quicker BC loose the 99 and the E200's to PE the better in my opinion, it does seem so silly to me that it's carrying on the way it is with so many other PE routes starting in Halesowen, it will help ensure that both the 222 and 99 see the right allocation more of the time and prevent unsuitable workings of E200's on busy routes, and are BC still parking them outside the garage at nights, or was that just when the new E400's were delivered?

The 99 itself almost always sees the right bus, very rare to see anything but an E200 on it these days. It's just that the 'spare' E200 (one of 808 or 809) can find themselves on some unsuitable workings.
Wouldn't there actually be a lot more dead mileage with PE running the 99? There isn't that much dead running at the moment with BC running it. On Mondays to Fridays at least, a couple of jouneys run dead to Halesowen and another runs dead to Quinton to start service, but the rest start from Birmingham city centre as far as I'm aware. In the evening, most run in service back into city, I think the last one of the day runs dead from Halesowen back to Birmingham.
If PE ran it you'd have 8 x journeys all with dead mileage between Pensnett and Halesowen at each end, not sure how far that is but it'll be quite a bit more than there is currently.
Also, isn't PE already at capacity?

Yes I understand that PE is already at capacity, buses were a one point having to be parked outside the depot at night, not sure if that still happens

I can't confirm either but I did see an unknown 20 branded B7RLE sat NIS at that disused (road markings only) bus stop by the railway bridge on Fletchamstead highway, at about 15:30 on Friday.
Some Birmingham buses come over to Coventry for their MOTs. I've seen red fronted B7s in Coventry. I'm other forum members can give more specific details on what garages are involved.

I really should keep an eye on the BC boards on the 9 in the morning to see what turns up, if only I had the energy to get out of bed a little earlier I can practically look out out the window to see what goes past (in winter anyway when leaves aren't in the way)

They usually go past my stop on Spies lane around 7:20-7:30, slightly too early for me to catch them regularly, but I think after they do the school service they go back on to the 9 as I've seen them around 9:00-9:15 going into Birmingham. These ones may start from Quinton or somewhere after that as they don't go past my stop.
The first one is supposed to leave Halesowen about 7:15 and the second about 7:25 but I've seen them running together (unless one board was duped)

Yes I've noticed most of the E400s that appear one be 24 are peak board workings. These 900 branded ones do spend a lot of their time on other routes.

Well that seems like a fair chunk of dead mileage, couldn't NXWM just operate one more evening journey into Wolvo as surely the bus NIS practically follows the identical route
Centro tender starts then, and as a regular user of the diamond service, i dont think they'd want to run that commercially.

Hi Tony, in my head I give buses which I am very familiar with names based on their registration plates. It is just a bit of fun, nothing serious. If you have some kind of problem with this, please feel free to let me know.

On reconsideration, that was a poor choice of wording. I just think it's a little excessive; naming the odd bus of significance is nice, but as I said, giving them all names takes away the novelty of it. Just my opinion though, and I can certainly understand others disagreeing.

A note has gone up about naming WN buses (the hybrids I think) so maybe Matt you could simply send your list in but I would suggest the rude one you have (can't remember the number) you change to something more appropriate :P
But I agree with Matt to name too many buses takes away the novelty....I mean the Timesaver livery started off as a novelty...turned out in the end the whole of the fleet was re-painted......and then shortly repainted again into a different livery. Should have stuck with blue & cream would have saved a fortune....and they still cannot seam to make their minds up, even with the most dull, bland, boring, unimaginative 2 coloured livery they currently use it seams some are 'Cargo White' some 'Gloss white'
As for Diamond well their Blue at the moment, at least a simple single colour......but for how long? my guess is not to far off they will be turquoise/light/dark with a yellow strip round the middle ;D ;D ;D

There was one at the Green Man on the 23 at around 8.05 which would fit with that timing but I could have sworn it was 4895.
They should give these dual Airport / Harborne branding as they spend almost as much time on this side of the city.

Matt, in the last week or so you're just as likely to see it in west Birmingham as east. It's the unofficial 24 branding at the moment.

If it counts, 301-return branded 1891 is on the 311/313 today.
Its not exactly branding, just a small sticker on one of the passenger side windows
Hence why I said if it counts ;) they do tend to stick to the 301/302 though.
And there is a 302 return Omnilink usually allocated to the 301! ;D

But saying that there does seem to be 1 or 2 tridents on the 900 most days with the E400's on the 24/59/60 etc
Maybe LS will know?

But Rob lives in the 900 & 60, so you would imagine he also has some knowledge ;)
The 24 will have nothing to do with the 900.
The only thing I can imagine is that they save a branded E400 for an afternoon piece on the 900, so therefore its spare in the morning, thus short workings on the 24. I can guarantee the 24 has nothing to do with anything on the Cov.

That's interesting, I thought I saw 825 in Halesowen this morning for a moment, but it was actually a BC E200 on the 99 with the branding missing off the front panel like 825.
I normally see the 8:15 244 from Halesowen which is the same board as the 2:15, but didn't see it this morning.

That's 805 Matt, noticed it today also. The side bumpers seem to be a tiny bit bigger than the middle part of the bumper with the front numberplate on, they don't seem to sit flush with the other panels
I do hope that like 4047, they replace the branding on both 805 and 825

In a way, I hope they don't, gives a way of telling them apart from a distance. It would be a lot more boring if every bus looked the same ;)
For example, I can tell a lot of my Enviros apart, with little differences:
4800 - old shade but no big connection bars, mini bars
4802 - no front logo
4805 - destination in rear display
4806 - mini connection bars
4809 - blue Imperial Commercials megarear
4810 - no front logo, logo on lower rear window, weak LED display
4811 - HR branding still visible on rear
4812 - HR branding still visible on sides
4817 - Edward Littlehales, mini connection bars
4818 - dented panel under driver's window
4819 - weak LED display
4824 - panel below driver's side headlights different shade of red
4826 - mini connection bars
4827 - no offside logo

Ah that's a shame, as in the mornings if I'm not at training I'm sleeping, one morning might head out to see a 900/57 on the 24 (:

If that weren't branded I'd say its beginning to be usual. Even though the X64 really needs Full Size Singles of a rush.
What time do you have for that, Vinneh?

I've been told that there is a X51 branded Gemini on the 89 today

There are some weird BC workings at the moment. B7RLEs and E200s on the 22, 23 and 24, B7RLEs on the 14, 900 branded E400s just about everywhere. Only the Hybrids that never stray (has a garage ever been this meticulous in keeping a bus type to its designated routes?)

Ok fair enough but they're a slightly different proposition in terms of which routes they could practically be used on, type training of drivers etc.

Indeed Matt, as do all vehicle types but I'd hazard a guess that type training on an articulated bendi amounts to more than just a few minutes in the garage - driving one of those must be a while new ball game so to speak.

If it was first seen at 8.35 heading out of city, then again at 10, it may have been the same one seen twice, Nathan may have seen it on the next journey it ran from Colmore Row after Mike saw it.
It does seen very unusual for 2 97 branded Tridents to be on there on the same day. From a distance an 0 can look similar to an 8 in the fleetnumber.
I'm not saying anyone is wrong, just wondering

Saw 803 on 14 today in Stechford.
There is usually an E200 on the 14 each weekday it does a 14E to Tile Cross then does a 14 back to Birmingham :)
I seem to remember frequent reports of a B6 working on the 14 when B6s were operating the 99. Does this vehicle work on the 99 at other points during the day. What are the timings the Enviro works on the 14?
How do you mean? The 99 running board interworks with another route, or what?
I mean does the running board that covers the 14 journeys where the Enviro 200s and previously the B6s also include some journeys on the 99 at other times during the day?

The opening comment to this thread implies that an Enviro 200 appears to regularly work just 2 journeys on the 14 - a 14E B'ham to Tile Cross and then a 14 from Tile Cross to B'ham. It was also frequently reported that a B6 previously did the same. This cannot make an entire running board for 1 vehicle in a day or the entire work that 1 bus does in a day.
Some running boards, for different reasons, run on routes that appear not to naturally fit together - for example the BC p.m. board that runs journeys on 98 / Pershore Road / Bristol Road. This running board I believe has a Bristol Road running board number but strays onto other routes. Similarly, buses off the 29 presumably on 29/xx running board then make late night trips on 22 / 23 / 24 - they have a 29 running board code but are used on other routes.
So is there a vehicle that just works 1 outbound and 1 inward journey on the 14?
If so, what else is on the running board apart from those 2 journeys? or what else would the vehicle doing those 2 journeys be likely to do in a day - for example is it a BC staff bus which then does peak a.m. journeys on the 14, does the 99 require additional peak buses which then for some reason does a couple of journeys on the 14?
Jessica (4911 - 957) on the 22/3
Fleetline6477, In reponse to your comment about E200's on the 14- Something similar happens on WN 59 in which a B6 usually works a couple of journeys in the morning then goes back to garage for the day (Or put out onto another route although this may go onto the 26/62?). But a second morning peak board is operated usually by a trident and once finished this board usually goes back to garage for the day (Although may come back out of garage to replace another bus).
So the E200 on the 14 does one trip to Tile Cross as a 14E, A 14 back to Birmingham then dead back to garage

You might be getting confused mate;
None 14 boards (or any boards for that matter) does anything with the 99. The 99 is by itself and there is a short running board which runs back into depot; and an afternoon 14 card which leaves the garage but they're two separate running boards.
Thanks, Liverpool Street. That now makes it clear to me.

I saw 4048 (route 5 branded bus) on the 89 just a bit ago
Has it been completely re-branded then after its accident repairs? Or was the 5 branding just on the back?
it was dark and I couldn't see it but I saw the side branding and the top back window also
it may have 4046 I'm not to sure now I think about it

Do you know when you saw it and where it was? 4046 is an AG bus, used to be branded for the 1
it was by the Tesco in Ladywood on the way into town about 5:30ish
There is not front branding on 4048 still John.

4046 is at Acocks Green. Was it the passenger side of 4048 you saw OH25?
guessing it was 4048 then
and I believe it was yes
Out on there again today. Amazing what you can see from BCC's video control room!

Or just parked at the front of the garage? At that time on a Sunday night I don't think a DD would be necessary especially as the 59 is every 12 minutes till end of service, and I can't see the harm in it having branding for another route.

The boards I've seen it is only Saturday. As the weekday has peak workings so I guess that saves a bus.

If I am correct at one time bus operators were fined if they ran a route branded bus off the route it was branded for. Is this correct?
Apparently the 83 & 89 are every 8 minutes between West Bromwich and Sutton Coldfield. 4048 was on there again. Saw it turning onto St Paul's Road from Holly Lane, West Bromwich bound on the 83

I'm not sure. I think it was if a route branded bus was operated on a Centro tendered service not for that route or a route branded bus entered a bus station not served by that route Centro fined? I was just asking the question as to whether I was right about this or not. Judging by your response, Tony I was probably wrong.

Maybe 4708 was due some maintainence, but was used on a schools service first?

D: Always carry your bus pass wherever you're going! ;) (Like I do.)
I was boarding on 89 at 18:05, only if 529 hadn't arrived minutes before the 89 was about to depart, I would have taken a picture on my phone. Oh well... Next time if there will be!
5413 already has badly etched top deck at the back windows so i wonder what state it will be in now ;D
It mostly was being taken out of service off the 1 when a trident failed on the 529 so 5413 was drafted in as a quick replacement
Ps i usually always have my pass with me 99% of the time but i stupidly left it at home :( ;)

4898, Dulcie - 900 Branded - Service 24
4703 - Dudley Road (82,87) Branded - Serivce 80
Did you see 900 branded 4898 this morning? 900 branded E400's have been regually appearing in the morning again recently and it seems that it is usually infact 4898
It was around 15:45 from Woodgate Valley Terminus. I had to alight onto it from a Volvo B5L, and as much as I love the new E400's, i'd much prefer the lighting from the B5s!
803 on 98 tonight

Missed that sighting by just half an hour (Wish I hadn't left the bus station too soon!). The funny thing is 1670 and a B6 (A 63* I think it was but couldn't see the fleet number clearly).
Someone mentioned 639 was on 5 today, that was probably the one you saw? On a similar note, wish I hadn't left the bus station early too, wanted to catch 1421 on 40 (assuming it arrived for 17:24). 😔
(Btw, yay, my 100th post!)
I was in the bus station about 16:15 when I saw 1421 (Posted in the Noteworthy Workings thread). Yes it must have been 639 I saw on the 5 then:)
Oh, that's alright then. I was still in university at that time then!

Bit of a waste putting branded buses on schools services.
Most school runs are on 'Peak only' boards so are normally allocated buses that are due inspection/special clean/ minor repair work so that they are back in garage around 09:30 and the work can be done so the bus can be back out in the evening peak. All buses have an inspection at least every 4 weeks, and all buses have a special clean at least every four weeks, so branded buses will regularly turn up on school runs for this reason

You know what? Considering how often 51 and 934/5/6 branded buses get used elsewhere, I've always admired how they seem to at least keep the 997 buses on route... Good spot
I do certianly agree
The only time I have seen a 997 branded Enviro400 off route was 4775 on the 51 a good few years now. A 51 branded Enviro400 did work on the 997 all day one day last week

Not to sure :), I dont recall seeing any Unbranded buses on the 51 today they all seemed to be branded :),
Last night (Friday ) about 2230hrs I saw an unidentified 97 branded heading back into the city centre!
1 branded E400H 5418 on WN 59 this morning. Saw on Lichfield Rd in Wednesfield about 10:00 going towards Wolverhampton
Not as such on a route but I saw a 6 branded B7RLE pull out of Stubby Lane onto Linthouse Lane in Wednesfield (By Tesco Express) on the WN staff bus
EDIT: 529 branded 4601 is now in 5418's place on WN59. Got off it about 5 minutes ago

Not the only 4 branded vehicle off route, I believe it was 1880 that I saw on the 38 this morning. (I believe this was board 159/02, which operates the 159 service followed by the 0941 Darlaston-Walsall 38 journey).

He saw 4167 about 07:25-07:30 at the Wheatsheaf heading to Cranes Park so If I've worked it out correctly also if 4167 is still on the 60 it should work the 14:16 Birmingham - Cranes Park then the 15:03 Cranes Park - Birmingham I maybe wrong :)

4915 (902/4/5 branded) - 115
4920 (902/4/5 branded) - 907
14 branded 4157 on the 24, passed 14 branded 4167 on the 9 just before 8am on broad st.
I'm sure it was YW 4754 I saw on the 2 on Bradford Street, while waiting for the 31A.
50-branded anyway (though Tony's fleetlist doesn't show it as so).
Good job I wasn't waiting for the 2 as I would have missed it, saw the branding in the distance and presumed it would turn off onto Moseley Road! :D
4754 is 50 branded Stu. 4745?-62 are all branded
4048 - 83, again! Birmingham bound, seen turning onto Devonshire Road from Holly Lane
1807 (55) > 17

Yes, OmniLinks are still used as well as Enviro400s. I should have worded that as when an Enviro400 is used
Matt, there was nothing wrong with what Nathan has posted, it's relevant to the topic. If it's not of interest to you, please ignore it & move on!
Can you both keep your petty squabbles/comments off the forum, sort it if via PM's if you really have too, the 'moderators' are receiving frequent complaints from other forum members that are getting sick & tired of having to read it all the time.
Anything of this nature will be deleted!
Winston
Matt,
If you don't like the way the forum is run and no longer wish to be active, we trust that you'll be closing your account then.
Do you wish us to action this for you?
Winston
I still intend to use the private messaging service to keep in contact with certain people. I may close my account myself when I see fit. Thanks for the offer though, Winston.
If you also wish to loose the ability to send PM's, carry on as you are with your current attitude....
The majority on here have now had a belly full!
Winston
I beg your pardon? Quite on the contrary, the attitude of the administration has made this an unpleasant forum on which to contribute. If you wish to lose more members, I suggest you continue with the tyrannical style of moderation. Turn my account inside out if you want, I'd only use it to chat with people. I won't lose any sleep over it.
As it's so unpleasant for you, I've just given you a 7 day break from us. (Since extended by a further 7 days for trying to be clever & registering a new account)
Winston
Posting stuff like that will earn you a ban. Be very careful Dom. You can consider this a Formal Warning.

Yes it still had its large destination display in Coventry at 18:30 tonight.
On the topic of the 900 display, though off topic, I have to admit it is nice to see the 900 numbers on the correct side again.

Yes, Just checked the history for all of 4684-6. Today all 3 only did X51s no journeys on any other routes
Yesterday 4684 did X51s; 4685 did X51s and 3 journeys on the 301; 4686 did X51s and the 701 (which is on an X51 running board) so neither day was there an X51 branded bus on the 51

Not tridents but Volvo B7TL's with ALX400 bodywork (Our Tridents have ALX400 bodywork too) but I know what you meany ;) Soho Road branded buses are used as school workings that serve St Thomas Moore operated by WB (703 for instance)are scheduled to come off and/or go onto the 74/5

I always think this is such a strange sight. It operates the 703 New Invention - Thomas More School service. It used to, I'm not 100% sure it's still the same, operate dead from depot to New Invention in the morning, operate the 703 then dead to West Bromwich to continue operating the 74/75 on a late night board.
The return journey also operated dead from garage to Thomas More, before running dead from New Invention to Dudley and operating a late night board on the 74.
Previously, the 702 (now merged with the 701) Thomas More - Bentley service was operated by WB as well. I believe the PM bus then went onto the 5, but was quite often a Merc.

The 703 starts at around 7:30 so its quite resonable for it to be coming from the garage.
Also the 702 was
NEVER a merc.
just to say i know this because i go to STM
So when WB operated the 702 which vehicles did operate it Dom? :). Also I presume WA operate it now so what Vehicles operate it now?
the 702 was mainly tridents but i remeber there being a president on there once the 702 was cut off about 2 weeks after i started in April so didnt see much of it and the 701 and 703 now can have 51 and X51 branded buses and tridents aswell. Today it was a trident and an OMNILUMP, 1st time id seen one of those on there.

the 702 was mainly tridents but i remeber there being a president on there once the 702 was cut off about 2 weeks after i started in April so didnt see much of it and the 701 and 703 now can have 51 and X51 branded buses and tridents aswell. Today it was a trident and an OMNILUMP, 1st time id seen one of those on there.
If you are refering to WB operating the 702 then you saw ALX400 bodied B7TL's not tridents :). The 703 is WB operated so wouldn't have 51/X51 branded buses
i was refering to the 701 having X51 / 51 branded uses the 703 has the 412* tridents at walsall in an afternoon morning i ain't there in time to see it

The 703 is operated by WB so can't have WA's 41* Tridents. It regually gets Soho Road branded B7TL's with ALX400 bodywork which then goes on to work the 74/5

Does the Every 5 minutes between Birmingham & West Bromwich branded Tridents that come from WB over to the Walsall area every schoolday count too!
I always think this is such a strange sight. It operates the 703 New Invention - Thomas More School service. It used to, I'm not 100% sure it's still the same, operate dead from depot to New Invention in the morning, operate the 703 then dead to West Bromwich to continue operating the 74/75 on a late night board.
The return journey also operated dead from garage to Thomas More, before running dead from New Invention to Dudley and operating a late night board on the 74.
Previously, the 702 (now merged with the 701) Thomas More - Bentley service was operated by WB as well. I believe the PM bus then went onto the 5, but was quite often a Merc.
The 703 starts at around 7:30 so its quite resonable for it to be coming from the garage.
Also the 702 was NEVER a merc.
just to say i know this because i go to STM
I'm not going to say I saw it often, but on the few occasions I saw the 702 when it was operated by WB, was in the afternoon and on all of the occasions it was a Merc. I'm not sure what the regular allocation was, but it has definitely at times been operated by a Merc. I remember the first time I saw it, I passed the vehicle through Bentley and I was so confused as to what a Merc was doing operating the 702 (I didn't realise at the time that WA were no longer operating the route - initially I was thinking it may have been a WN vehicle, then realised it was a WB vehicle upon researching the bus).
Additionally, I've not said it is unreasonable for the 703 vehicle to be coming from the garage. I was just stating what the board entailed.
The 701 is, and as far as I'm aware always has been, operated by WA. This is often an X51 branded vehicle in the PM, as the bus then goes on to operate this service.
To clarify another point, the 702 service was merged with the 701 service last year. I remember when I used to return to my primary school from swimming at Willenhall Baths and passing Thomas More (when it was on the old site) and there'd be a line up of six Metrobuses waiting to operate what was then the S1-S6 services.

Did this do an 829 school trip?
Most likely. Its the only way a decker gets on a 98/xx board I think, as no GP running card is x64 only. Saw 1820ish in the City.
*Double Post*
- Running board 98-13 just does the 16:12 X64 from city and 17:18 return that is what 4449 was on.
So if anyone wants a good thrash with an Unusual Working on the x64 (Technically speaking it is, even if it is a peak board. ) Then you have the times for it.
Ciao.
37 branded Omnilink doing a 5E short working to The Baldwin, saw about 19:50 in Sparkbrook.
Looking on the timetable this short working is timetabled, but must have been running over ten minutes late.

Yes, I'm aware of that, Nathan, but it is a branded bus nevertheless. :) What other thread could I put a note in?
Sorry if I sounded blunt :) I suppose it is branding in a way? But then again you could argue its just advertising? The Ticket advertising E400's operate regually on other PB routes? Has it been posted in the PB Garage thread?

Don't be sorry, it's alright. :) That's a good point, actually. I'm debating myself as to whether it is a branding or advertising. It is sort of both in a way. :x I just had a look in Perry Barr thread, it has been mentioned by Nathan4775. Oops. I was on X51 to Walsall and saw 4932, it was a moment I put a comment without checking if it has been mentioned or not. ;)
For future reference, I will post in Perry Barr thread if I see an advertising bus again. :)

In my opinion, I won't really say that the 98 on the 99 bus is 'off route'. Yes, it is meant for the 99, but it also mentions the 98 interworking from the Q.E. Hospital, so in some aspects, it's a dual branded bus. Good spot though. ;D

The 1 branded E400H's are usually on other routes to replace breakdowns (This occurs usually in the evening but still not that commonly) and sometimes allocated to the 59 on Sundays but not very regularly at all. They are branded for the 1 as I can tell you they do spend 99% of the time on the 1. The 59 usually has B5's and Tridents on Sundays but if a B5 isn't available to work a certain board then a trident or occasionally an E400H substitute but this doesn't happen much anyway so yes there is use for them being branded. :)
Even the unbranded B5's stick to the 1/59/126

Tridents don't usually get rammed, due to the sheer volume of buses heading into the city at that time, but I reckon 807 would be at seated capacity by the city centre

The 7 is a fairly busy route so does need the high frequency, also its the only bus linking Birmingham with Aston Villa football ground and the Holford industrial estate as well as Witton.

Yeah, wasn't it the 51/934E/935A that interworked evenings and the X51/934E/935A that interworked Sunday daytime?

Mon-Fri The 934 at 1947 Birmingham is
51-10 board
Does X56 0650 Foley Arms to City
Then does 51 around 0730 from city and continues on 51 all day until
1947 934 then does
2047-934
And returns to 51 at 2147 and continues on 51 until
Last departure from City at 2317.
This ussally is a 47xx enviro but a branded 51 bus can occasionally be allocated

Daniel w, I suggest you take some time out & study Tony's comprehensive fleetlists on the main site http://wmbusphotos.com/index.html.
The constant inaccuracies in your posts & questions that you could quite easily answer for yourself using 'Google' are annoying the other long standing members, if you continue to disrupt the forum posting crap you will be leaving us permanently (that includes the spare Tony66 account), you have been warned numerous times and shouldn't have even been allowed back on here as you were banned as 'Christopher' etc

I saw 2060 at about 20:30 by New Cross.
Which direction was it heading in NXWM Spectra ? (There wasn't a 5 branded B7 when i was on the 59 between 7 and half 7 as buses out at the time were 4001,4008,4544,4579 and 4592)
4001 was on board 59/10 which would have gone out of service just under an hour ago
4592 went out of service about 19:3* (59/07)
4008 was on a late night 59 board (59/08) so i have a feeling 2060 has replaced 4008? (i wonder if 2060 was out earlier on peak board 59/14).

There was one bus i didn't see and that was the bus on board 59/11 as it would have been in W'ton Bus Station when i jumped on 4579 which was the bus infront . Is 2060 on this board then Tony? (If so then it replaced 4576)

Sutton branded bus on the 67 at the moment
The 8 buses on the 67 at 1820 are 4237; 4515; 6023; 6025; 6026; 6029; 6031 & 6032
The only other bus that has been on there today now returning to garage is 6024
Well all of 4914-25 were on the 902/4/5 this evening peak and 4926 did the evening 72A running board
Awesome, so the sutton branded bus I saw about quarter to 6 at Aston cross with 67 on the front was a figure of my imagination then yeah?
Hmmmm, should have taken a picture then
4926 shows as being at Aston Cross at 18:15 so that was the bus you saw, but doesn't show as being in service
He did say a quarter to six, not quarter past
It was there at 17:45 as well, so went into town and back, but every timetabled journey is covered by another bus
17:08 at Aston Cross to City was 6025
17:18 was 6024

Could it have been what used to be termed as a service extra?

Same 37 branded Omnilink was on there yesterday too, and I saw it in the morning on the 885.
Just a suggestion, does anybody thinks it's wise for a 'revised' 37 branding? Following on from the 17 branded design? Obviously not too soon, but possibly within a year, or two...

5413 is on late night 59's. It will work the 20:36 departure from Wolverhampton.
I've been told a 1 branded Enviro is on the 256 tonight. Should be the 19.35 arrival in Wolverhampton.

X51 branded 4685 on 301 all day until 1600 replaced by 51 branded 4864

1 branded E400H 5413 is now working WN32 to Northwood Park.
A replacement for one of the broken down Spectra's I'd imagine? I'd be very surprised if it was allocated from garage although i didn't see it when i was in Wolverhampton this morning

It's a shame they couldn't come up with generic branding for the 51 & X51, so buses could be used on either route without looking odd?

Just remembered. 900 Branded 4901 (Chloe) was on the 22s after school, changed to 24 in the City Centre.
Is it just me or do 900 branded buses appear more on Colmore Row than 957 Branded buses?
Not off route as such, but there was a 51 branded Enviro400 parked inside Perry Barr garage this morning (didn't manage to get the number). Strange seeing it in there

5511 did a 829, so i assume it was on a 9 as well.
Had the pleasure (not so much) of getting on a 99 branded bus for the 24 (8:05 departure), didnt get fleetnumber sadly
And, like N94 has already said, a 97 branded trident on the 24.
(Sat 8th November)
I had 97 route branded 4468 on my late night 45/47, though it was a change bus earlier on in the day.
In comparison to the bus on my first portion (4624) it was very sluggish pulling away, slow closing doors. 4624 was the opposit - fast at pulling away and quick doors - great when running late.
The only thing I liked about 4468 was the fact it is 97 branded - so there's a very slim chance of me having it again!

That was the only Walsall scania not in service this morning. Walsall also managed to have all 6 E200 and all 38 B7RLEs in service this morning, so there modern single decks had 100% availability not bad going.
1433 was the only B10L not used today and that was at Trailways having some work done on it. It is now back at Walsall, so even the B10Ls may get all out tomorrow!

I think these usually do a morning 9, which changes to an 829 and afterwards does the 24 for the rest of the day, with a 22s(?) citybound which changes (back) to a 24?
Could explain why theres been more Harborne B5s on the 829 recently...

No. The 829/9s are on two seperate running boards that go back to garage
There's often a 529 branded bus on the 529/xx board that goes from WN garage and does 1 trip on the 11 before doing the 711 school trip, then going to Walsall and back on the 529. This morning's bus was 4602.
4864 (51) is on the 934/5/6 today, chances are it'll be on a board that does 51s in the evening lol

I think it may have replaced 2008 on 59/08 board which I think would have been due out of the bus station at that time. 2008 in turn replaced 4542
See a 37 branded Omnilink on the 5a = Normal!
529 route branded 4605 on the 255 this evening.
4459 on 24 this morning, then passed another at 5 ways, 4464 i think.

It was 4459 branded 97 on the 45 this evening viewed in cotteridge at 715pm.

Hi James, there is no need to post these. last time it was reported I posted that there is a 60 journey on an early 957 board that is normally a branded one.

As Tony has informed you several times, a few Saturday morning journeys on the 60 are on a 957 running board, and so this working is not really noteworthy as it is scheduled and normal (although I accept it is still off-route!).
In addition, as many people have now stated there is no peak period during the weekends. If there were such a thing as an 'AM' peak on a Saturday, I'd imagine (at least in terms of number of vehicles, and therefore logically I'd guess number of passengers) it would be after 1130.

Pensnett is normally very good at allocating 825-830 to the 6 222 running boards, it is only if one is off the road unbranded 824 is on there, so with every bus branded there isn't a way around it other than changing all the scheduling

Oh yes I get it Tony thanks maybe they should have only branded 4 or 5 to give them more flexability. Still a good picture opportunity if you happen to be in the right place at the right time ;D

Yes it has
@Matt :) I'll be going back out shortly to try and get a pic of it. If 4614 is still out it should be currently working the 12:53 Birmingham to Solihull and the 14:49 Solihull to Birmingham.

@Liverpool St wont like this, his favoriet ex Pershore Rd buses being branded for a different route!
I'm guessing we'll see less 46s on the Bristol Rd / Pershore Rd routes now....
I reckon the 14s must be making some money, the buses are mostly pretty full, seems ironic back in the mid 90s LH operated single decker Lynxs, but I suppose back then the 55 went the same way as far as Stechford and also the 26 served Alum Rock Rd too.
Whatever happened to route branding for the 9, just before Simon Mathieson left he said the 9 was the next route to be done.

It looks like blue is the new green. How many routes is that now in the same or similar shade of blue?
The current branding looks ok on a lot of vehicle types but in my opinion looks dreadful on the ALX400

Have seen one on YW 18 last year when I was on a B10L on YW 27 - not sure if I had reported or not but know I definitely have seen it. And this: http://wmbusphotos.com/forum/index.php?topic=2580.msg84924#msg84924
Very rare to see a branded 50 bus on YW 18.
If you are including previous 50 banding, then I did get this pic of 4759 a few years ago with the green branding on a 3E

It is fairly rare for single decks on the 24 during most daytime journeys. The evening journeys interwork with the 29/A and so have to be single deck operated.

Must have the number wrong. But there was a 33 branded bus on there. You can't miss the bright green branding. It also was definitely a 67 and it was in service as it had passengers on it. Pulled away from Priory Queensway stop, round the Old Square island and went down Coporation Street.
Not sure of exact time, but I got on a 101 in Jewllery Quarter around 5.15, and then walked from Snow Hill to Priory Queensway. So about 5.30-5.40 maybe.

Between 5.30-5.45 ish Just a minute or two after an unbranded E400 (4854/5 maybe) departed Bull Street on the 33. Another reason why I thought it was a bit odd, that the 33 had an unbranded one and there was a branded one off route.

What's the 11 route like so far
@MW , many fare dodgers? Time tabling issues? Busy loadings? Any trouble?

Just a quick reply as we shouldn't go off topic here. Last week one circle took 4 hours. I was the first late bus, 77mins it was with the other buses behind me! They sent out a bunch of 11Es and duplicates ahead of me but there was a pretty extensive gap!
The clientele, well the old women are annoying. GRS are very annoying. One driver (X602 Dart) kept cutting me up and deliberately waiting for me. I was behind him at Tyburn Road lights. The light turned green. He waited for amber and the shot off leaving me on the Reds. At Fox & goose, he stopped and put his hazards on in an awkward angle, so I had no choice but to overtake him and stop in front. He then reversed his bus towards the traffic, with passengers on and overtook. I was doing 30mph down Bromford Lane and he came and shot past.
Basically moral of the story is, they're knobs.
Only pro to them is they take a lot of the OAPs, well when I say a lot, I mean about 10.

Now you know why at the training school they teach the escape route, never pull up behind the vehicle in front ast traffic lights without enough room to pull around with reversing!
It is amazing how fast he would have shot off at Bromford lights if he would have seen your front, offside moving into the second lane in his mirror. Yes that is the standard of driving, some (nowhere near all) competitors resort to, but it is rarely seen by those who support cowboys

They're right scumbags! Yeah I did have the escape route but there was fast moving traffic in the second lane. He was with me from Kings Heath to Erdington! Anticlockwise. I just let them get on with it now, just hold back or if I have a decent stretch, accelerate past.
just viewed 4626 Branded 14 on a 47 into the City - Cotteridge 2152hrs.
First time i have seen one over here!

There was a 17 Branded bus on the 55 yesterday.

It was most certainly a 51 branded bus. In my defence, it was dark, and had speculated for a while, as I later saw 4871 on a 934E to Pheasey, so was a little confused.

From what I've seen, they don't seem to bother to keep branded buses on their routes at all. When a bus arrives into garage the night before, and then parked up, it seems to be allocated the next day based on where it's parked. It might also be to do with the fact that there is a vehicle shortage at AG atm. Last few days, there's been drivers waiting in the traffic office simply because nothing is available.

Ever since the arrival of the MMCs, I've noticed they've already been on most routes, is this way of further testing the vehicles ?!
When vehicles arrive back and park up, do they go on designated route lanes or just park up to the nearest lane and towards the front ?!

If you look at the timetable, the 59 is a Wolverhampton to Wolverhampton service, so if a bus terminates at Ashwood Park, it is a 59E

E's terminate at Higgs Rd at the top of Griffith's Drive loop then run private back to garage (So people getting on from the stop after the Ashmore Pub wouldn't be able to travel back to the city centre) after finishing service. There have been many cases where 59E's have been put up by mistake. You will usually see the E's between 17:45 and 18:30 on weekdays then the last two departures at night (all week)

So close and yet so far away. Can imagine confusion when it gets to Sheldon people would assume it to be a 71/72, then it goes down Lode Lane instead

It would end up even longer than the Pensnett garage thread!
Probably more noteworthy reporting the correct allocated bus on a AG route, or route-branded one on the route it is branded for!
Seems pointless the AG E200MMCs being branded with the amount of times they're reported on a different route...or is that just a sneaky form of advertising the other MMC route? ;)

There doesn't seem to be a system at AG to organise where the branded and non branded ones are parked, hence all the random stuff. On the allocation sheet, it does say which running board requires a branded, and which doesn't, but it's ignored. Lol. So when this Crimson Gemini goes out, I very much doubt it'll stick to where it's meant to be.

It's been hinted at previously, so I'm going to be a bit more blunt about this, but do we really need to keep reporting 37 and 71/72 branded buses on each others routes, as it seems to be quite commonplace at the moment?
Agree with
@Stu seems to be happening daily and then it just fills this thread up with the same stuff over and over again making it harder to find "more important stuff". Just an opinion though seeing as though its happening so frequently.
We could just make an AG E200MMCs off route thread??
Or how about just don't report them until AG settle down with thier allocation.

Have I understood correctly that a Platinum bus regularly operates a 29 journey. If so, what times does this running board operate on the 29?

However some may find it of interest. The thread is for posting route branded buses of route in, not unusual route branded buses of route. Some who are not familiar with the route may find it of interest.
The engineers at AG hate having these branded buses around. Really limits things. You might have a 71/72 one come back to garage with a minor defect, such as an issue with driver seat or something with the lights etc. Another MMC would get sent out and then the original one would be repaired. Then it may end up on the 37 for a peak board or something similar.

But it happens every day, so it's gone beyond interesting now, it's actually getting quite tedious. Perhaps there should be a separate thread for 37/71/72 branded buses off route? ;D

Or just mention it in the AG thread instead as you say it is a regular thing now so me personally I will mention it only on the AG thread if I see any of these on the wrong routes

Bus allocators on strike today??
I get the point though - as route branding is one of the core elements of the TfWM quality partnership, route branded buses appearing on the wrong routes is surely worse than no branding at all. Agreed an incorrectly branded bus is better than no bus at all - but unless there's some specific issue like a group of buses off the road, it is surely a matter of disciplined operation and joined up thinking - possibly easier said than done when you've got 200 odd buses to allocate (WN example).
on the other hand putting route branded vehicles on other routes enables the company to advertise those other routes, thus meaning that other people would use them!

Nathan is right. They're not route specific branded plus you can argue the 29 qualifies as a Harborne route as it passes through there. According to the spreadsheet, B5s appear occasionally on the route.

I know they're not. My point is, however, if they're meant for the Harborne routes they should be used on all of them. Not just 2. Occasionally is pushing it. It's very rare to see on on the 29. Occasionally is more accurate for the 24.

There's simply not enough Hybrids to fulfil the routes. And why only 50% of them are branded is beyond me, especially as they only tend to appear on Harborne routes.

That is a valid point. I've noticed during my time on the forum that the B5s (Compared to other bus types) hardly ever stray onto other routes (i.e. corridors). Even WN's hybrids have appeared occasionally on other routes so it does make sense to fully branded all of them given they're used on the 1 corridor.

I quite like corridor branding as it lets the buses go onto multiple routes yet they still remain were they're supposed to be.

What a surprise. I appreciate the need to get all the buses out, but personally I think it looks unprofessional if it is constant. The amount of times on the 914 I've had people expecting the bus to go to Erdington High Street when I've had a branded bus but it turns up Kingsbury Road. They either get off at the first stop or don't realise if they don't know the route and come and ask. You then have to direct them back to Erdington. Not good for encouraging people to use the bus again.
The Central ones is more than likely because not all have arrived yet (so it should settle down when all enter service) but there is no excuse for ours now. They should be parked better in garage to ensure they are available for the right route. I don't know why it is happening now as it hardly happened with the old branded Enviro400s.there is only one less unbranded MMC than we had unbranded Enviro400s (13 to 12)

I don't think the blinds were updated as the driver pulled in on Lower Bull Street to ask an Inspector for help as X4 wasn't working. Eventually they just put 904 up.

When I first started, I was on the 11A going past Stechford Baths and a Gemini behind me done that loop past those shops and turned right and become a 11C. Never had that board (if it's regular (which I doubt)).
It may have been adjusted with some time to spare if it was parked there.

Its the branded buses getting on the 1 and 37 branded buses getting on the 71/72 that happen every day. Not the 71/72 branded buses getting on the 37. I know that because I see them everyday, its probably one of the last/the last time/s one will get onto the 37 as well because the 72 will soon be double decker.

If there's a 37-branded bus on the 71/72, there's a good chance that means a 71/72-branded bus will be on the 37, or elsewhere.

Its the branded buses getting on the 1 and 37 branded buses getting on the 71/72 that happen every day. Not the 71/72 branded buses getting on the 37. I know that because I see them everyday, its probably one of the last/the last time/s one will get onto the 37 as well because the 72 will soon be double decker.
Mentioning the 71/72 banded buses on the 37 and vice versa. It's boring and just clutters up the forum with rubbish.

The 71/2 brandeds don't appear to get onto the 37 very often, saw it today and realised its the first one i've seen in a while, so thought i'd post it as it may also be the last, or one of the last. Maybe it is just my luck. Other than that it wouldn't usually interest me and I don't usually post it.
The 37 brandeds get onto the 71/72 and branded on the 1 happen every day, from what i've seen.

There was a 71/72 branded on the 37 last Saturday. And one on the previous Saturday. Not interesting whatsoever.

Sounds about right, with a load of single decks already having left, and no doubt more being prepared to move for tomorrow, the 37 branded ones will have to be used on the 71/72.
I was down in Acocks Green village earlier and noticed the same, there's a Platinum on the 37 also.

Imagine the City Centre stop. Before if E200MMC came, it was a 37, now it's a lottery as to which route actually is on the destination display. I would imagine this type of dull outlook of life, is what sees many of passengers through the journey. It helps me !

You can only pay contactless on the X1, X2 and X61.
A day ticket on a Saturday on NX is £4, or £3 if your staying in the East Birmingham low fare zone on NX, or £4.30 for a N Bus (an N Bus can be used on any bus, for example both NX and Claribels).

There is a much easier way, and cheaper, buy a daysaver using the mobile phone app.

It would be a 28 then doing the u-turn in Scott Arms. The 52/A turn right onto Beeches Road which is before Scott Arms. So yes it was a 28.

there have been a lot of route branded buses on the wrong routes recently, very common to see buses branded for 7, 16, 33 and 101 on each others routes. But the worst by far is X1 and X2 branded buses on each others routes, These buses show branding for both routes on small print, wouldn't it be easier to brand the X1 and X2 together ?

The X1 and X2 interwork, so they appear on there everyday, as they interwork it would be good if they did have a combined branding.

Happens every school day. The bus that does the 46A (or PB997E now as it's called) goes onto the 16/A after for a trip into Birmingham, then to Scott Arms. So it will commonly be a 16 branded bus.

Not sure if it's still the case, but basically everything comes off the 5 in the evening. So at about 7 o clock, All the daytime buses come off. One bus would leave garage and do nights on the 5. The other bus used to come off the 31, which used to come off the 37.
So two buses on the 5 in the evening. They cross over at Shirley/Asda junction, usually. And then 3 for the 31.

Branding is something that isn't taken seriously at AG by the engineers. It winds them up having to dedicate certain buses only for one route. If there's only one MMC available and it's 37 branded, should they find an unbranded one and go and swap it or just send the branded one out which is more productive.
With routes like the 11 & X12, it's different, because they want as many Euro 3 vehicles as they can get out of garage on the 11, and the X12 because it's literally only that route the Platinums are for.

There's not enough Platinums at AG. If one is defective in the morning at 6AM, a Gemini will be sent out instead. By 8AM it may be fixed. That Platinum will most likely end up on a non Platinum route. That's how it works.

Is your stop a timing point? If it isn't, then whatever it says on the timetable at the bus stop is rough guide.

The X10 was running 15 minutes late. The X96 branded was stood in Merry Hill, inspector swapped it over, yet the X10 would have only left around 3-4 minutes late if it'd been left to run. This them obviously led to the X10 branded on the X96.

There must be two then, as I passed 6707 also on the 4 around 6:10pm in Sparkbrook, it was heading towards city.
There's one on the 1 too. Seen it a few hours ago on Shaftmoor Lane although I suspect it was 6707 too. Maybe it was swapped. I didn't see it clear enough to confirm the fleet number

It's 4901 on the 23, I'm currently travelling on it, unless there are 2 of them on there.
(I suspect it is the same bus as the driver is giving it a good thrashing)

@37351ml There is actually one 51 board that does an X51 trip into Birmingham in the week before it goes onto 51's for the rest of the day (I think it operates the 06:40 journey from Walsall into Birmingham). Judging from the time you've posted this, I'd guess that's the journey you saw.

50-branded 6127 was my ride home this evening on the 3.
Was driven very casually (or as some would say "slowly"), the ticket screen was showing as '6 Late' as I got off - presume this journey was then going back to garage and the driver wasn't in any rush!

Yeah it is. I didn't put the rest of the working as it got parked up as the driver could smell "burning rubber". So I wasn't sure if it would get swapped or not. But it is still out as I'm on it on the 23:17 937A from Birmingham.

one of the 2059/60/61 batch of 5 branded buses will have to be on another route somewhere along the line, as an e200 seems to be on in the peak, then it goes onto the 50, a trident replaces it (stupidly!), then the e200 goes back on after the 5 after its 50 turn.

Pershore Road branded 4911 is on the 61
It's not route branded
4911 - last time I saw it, it had Reeses advertising on both sides. However, it does have the orange on the front that the Pershore Road services have.
Not entirely sure how I missed the ad but I assumed it was branded because as mentioned above, it does have the orange front and when I sat upstairs, I noticed the "Along the Pershore Road" stickers along with the usuals.

I snapped in Stirchley a few weeks ago, and it had an ice cream (Nuii) advert covering the driver side. It's sister buses (4910, 4912) both have the Pershore road branding on the sides.

Not anymore they don't! All the ones without ads have had all of their branding taken off. The only remains of the Pershore Road branding being the orange fronts on the few with adverts, though that doesn't really count as

Just a heads up, Sunday 47/9's now interwork with the 74E at West Bromwich Bus Station, so it's likely this will be the norm now. Although, it's worth noting there was an 82/7 branded MMC on the 47/49/74E today as well.

Does the 89 interwork with anything on Sundays? Looking at the timetable, only 2 buses are required, to my knowledge, yesterday, these were a price branded Enviro400 (which I was on) and a Soho Rd branded Enviro400, however, a couple hours later, I saw a 82/87 branded MMC on the 89 ???

The only reason why they brand buses is to make people aware of the high frequency services. Yes I know that they are also used on non branded routes. This is because they don't have enough unbranded buses. They should stop thinking of branding and just run services. I know that it's supposed to catch peoples eye with the branding but if they just keep thinking branding will do.

Just to imform everyone that the reason why NX put branded buses on other branded route is the following.
1. Buses come in to depot before other buses (not branded).
2. They are short of buses on that route (even if it's not a branded route.
3 The correct branded bus may be broken xown.
I know it the bain of everybody's life seeing branded bused on non branded routes or wrong routes. You just have to pit up with it.

Those are not really the reasons at all.
The main reasons are actually
On a Sunday using the most fuel efficient reliable buses Available.
Morning peak
A branded bus is needed in garage during the day so will be allocated to a short peak board to get it back, some branded routes like the 101 do not have any peak boards, so they have to go out on another route.
A branded bus is still under repair when the boards are allocated to its own route so it will have to be used on one of the last boards out of garage.
Evening Peak
More buses have been in the garage during the day than there are peak boards on that particular route so cannot be allocated correctly
Other reasons include if a branded bus is on a long layover in a Bus Station it may be put on another route to cover a breakdown or late running to keep the service running while a different bus is brought down from the garage.
And occasionally just poor allocation!

I have had meetings with NX before and they have given some of those poins that I mad. So 'don't soot the messenger'!
I understand some of what you has said and some of mins are also correct.
Another reason is said branded bus fails to start or develops an issue before leaving garage

Every route Nottingham City Transport is route branded and yet they can put the correct branded buses on the correct routes 99% of the time.
So how can they do it.
It's not how the branded buses but how the generic buses are allocated. Virtually all double deck routes have peak buses.
Morning peak buses are usually branded so that if a branded bus breaks down during the day this bus is used as a substitute. If the defective bus is fixed its used for the pm peak if not it's dead anyway.
Routes with small allocations such the brand new Bridgeford buses are branded by corridor not route with route diagram for all routes in the bus.
Indeed on Boxing Day when route were crosslinked suffient generic buses were available in same way the ingenious link on the same day in Coventry 6A and 3A used all blue Enviros instead of branded E200s so it proves NX can do it!
By using peak buses to work one journey then move onto another route it allows buses to step back a departure maintaining the Clock face headway rather NXC who have no peak buses and resort to widening the headway.
University bus 4 doesnt run in the holiday and the 34 is vastly reduced, so the buses are parked up but at 9 years they are the oldest double deckers in the fleet.
What a mine of information and inspiration Bustimes can be!

I think you will find National Express are also around the 99% mark with route branding on correct routes. After all even if 15 buses are wrongly allocated they are still 99% correct.
Both times I have been in Nottingham in January I saw a bus not on allocated route.

It is smaller but unlike National Express the vast majority of routes are colour coded. I was sitting opposite two students on a bus in Nottingham who were talking about the different coloured buses. One then said to other "I come from Redditch where we have a bus company called Diamond who are cr*p"!

I accept your point about fuel efficiency as if all Coventry routes were branded to same extent you would have old less fuel efficient buses out on Sunday unless all the modern buses are generic.
Efficient use of buses means certain school workings are likely to use branded buses in the way the afternoon 9S in Coventry is 20 branded bus that comes from Crosspoint.
Having just passed an Arriva branded bus on the wrong route on the Runcorn Busway I appreciate this an exceptional circumstance where providing residents of Halton with a bus service at all is the priority. Haltons fleet is still locked up in the garage with a few visible in the secure yard outside.

I think in light of the current circumstances, there are going to be a fair few branded vehicles being used on other routes for the next few weeks, certainly while it is more prudent to use newer more fuel-efficient vehicles on other services while they are 'spare'.
There was at least one 50-branded bus on the 6 today, and one possibly out on the 2 also.

Honestly, given the time of day and the number I had seen, I've probably misidentified it.
Couple of things I did fail to mention from yesterday was a 9 Branded platinum masquerading as a training vehicle in Kingswinford, and a Dundee-coloured 54 in Perry Barr, although I don't they'd fall under the content for this thread.

Unnecessary comment in my opinion.
I didn't get on it. I saw it in the street.

I haven't done any travelling around this week either.

Yes, I saw the 73 at the Yew Tree, its not too far away. And didn't go there on the bus either. Didn't go there for no reason either. And I haven't been within 2 metres of anyone as well.

The thing is there is no distance limit in the legislation for one's daily form of exercise so one could reasonably run between one's house, passing various bus routes so long as one respects a 2m radius from other people.
Alternatively one could be doings one shopping for groceries and see it!
Quote from: Gov.UK The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020
6.—(1) During the emergency period, no person may leave the place where they are living without reasonable excuse.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), a reasonable excuse includes the need—
(a)to obtain basic necessities, including food and medical supplies for those in the same household (including any pets or animals in the household) or for vulnerable persons and supplies for the essential upkeep, maintenance and functioning of the household, or the household of a vulnerable person, or to obtain money, including from any business listed in Part 3 of Schedule 2;
(b)to take exercise either alone or with other members of their household;
(c)to seek medical assistance, including to access any of the services referred to in paragraph 37 or 38 of Schedule 2;
(d)to provide care or assistance, including relevant personal care within the meaning of paragraph 7(3B) of Schedule 4 to the Safeguarding of Vulnerable Groups Act 2006(1), to a vulnerable person, or to provide emergency assistance;
(e)to donate blood;
(f)to travel for the purposes of work or to provide voluntary or charitable services, where it is not reasonably possible for that person to work, or to provide those services, from the place where they are living;
(g)to attend a funeral of—
(i)a member of the person's household,
(ii)a close family member, or
(iii)if no-one within sub-paragraphs (i) or (ii) are attending, a friend;
(h)to fulfil a legal obligation, including attending court or satisfying bail conditions, or to participate in legal proceedings;
(i)to access critical public services, including—
(i)childcare or educational facilities (where these are still available to a child in relation to whom that person is the parent, or has parental responsibility for, or care of the child);
(ii)social services;
(iii)services provided by the Department of Work and Pensions;
(iv)services provided to victims (such as victims of crime);
(j)in relation to children who do not live in the same household as their parents, or one of their parents, to continue existing arrangements for access to, and contact between, parents and children, and for the purposes of this paragraph, "parent" includes a person who is not a parent of the child, but who has parental responsibility for, or who has care of, the child;
(k)in the case of a minister of religion or worship leader, to go to their place of worship;
(l)to move house where reasonably necessary;
(m)to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the place where a person is living includes the premises where they live together with any garden, yard, passage, stair, garage, outhouse or other appurtenance of such premises.
So for example someone who lives in a house with a balcony or front garden which has a bus route passing/by a bus interchange can sit outside on their land/property and still photograph buses.
Another example is one could still reasonably photograph/note down a bus at Merry hill whilst waiting in the queue for Iceland/leaving the store.

Don't you think it is a bit pointless posting branded buses off route (until the lockdown is over) as they will be doing lot of other routes that they are not branded for due to vehicles being sorn during the pandemic?

As I noted the last list I shared, it was a nice novelty to see all the different branded buses in different places (like the 34/39 branded bus in Merry Hill on the 4 advertising a £2.50 return on the side).
If it's preferred that this isn't done any more, it'd probably be prudent to lock the topic so the board members know it's off limits for the moment.

A 17 branded bus on the 55 is a regular thing, especially on evening journeys. And even more so because BY only have one bus type. I wouldn't exactly call this one a historical moment!

This was at 1PM so a Sunday all day board. Not an evening journey that interworks with the 17.
Happens every now and again occasionally in the daytime, wouldn't say its regular to see one in the daytime though.

My point of the comment was at trainbasher. Saying it's good to record these things as a historical document. 17 branded buses appear on the 55 daily.

i really don't see why everyone should mention which branded buses are off route because of the pandemic loads of buses are off road for 3 months meaning branded buses will have to come off route I think
@Tony should lock this topic until all buses are back to normal

Surely not 1875? If that's the only 28 branded bus on the road and 28 seems to have a PVR of 5 or 6 at present from looking at the timetable?
Or are there other reasons for this being off route?

With 106 buses parked up not moving in Perry Barr garage it means that only a few can be got out at anyone time. If you have 10 lines of buses and 7 are not going anywhere the allocator only has a choice of 3 buses, not 10

so at the moment it's not worth noting what buses are off route really if loads of buses are parked up

I was unaware that is how it worked, so it does make sense now you have explained it.
In which case I won't post anymore for the time being since it looks like they are going to be common now.

Loads of these happening across all garages at the moment, remember a lot of buses are currently SORN
1797 (17 Branded) is on the 55.
Rather rare to see a 17 Branded on the 55 in the daytime and even during the lockdown (think I've only seen it once before during the lockdown). From my experience.
Speaking of rare, there was a 50-branded Platinum on the 6 this evening in Sparkbrook.
Granted I only really encounter YW's Stratford Road services of late (2, 3 and 6) but these tend to be frequented by the unbranded Platinums.
So even in the current circumstances, I find it quite unusual to see a 50-branded bus elsewhere, apart from on the 50 of course!
Strange seeing Platinums on the 31/32 in Bloxwich!

I liked the consistency of allocation there.
In Dudley bus station a couple of 31/32 Walsall branded buses on the 11/11A. Also saw a 529 platinum and a 59 Ashmore Park branded bus. In Walsall X51/997 branded platinums on the 4M to Merry Hill and 51 branded bus on the X51.

Does the 31 and 58 interwork?
On Monday, I'm sure I followed a 4/4A branded 31 into Station Road, Solihull and once I had parked up, did what I needed to do and set off to go around the corner to Warwick Road, there was a 4/4A branded 58 sat at the bus stop. Maybe they were both running branded buses on their routes, but I was certain it was the same bus. Must've been around 8.30/8.45am or so.
On the same day I did also see the Blackheath branded 4 tottering around on the Inner Circle.
And a 935/936/937 branded X51 in Cannock.
I can never catch the fleet numbers as I'm usually driving when I notice them go past.

I dont Specifically know who it was.
An X2 branded platinum parked at Ward End, Fox and Goose 55/94 stop towards City Centre this evening with 4811 parked behind. Not 100% sure what they were doing there as the displays were blank. Looked strange seeing the X2 platinum there.
But i'd guess they'd terminated short there on the 55 and 94. And were waiting their departure time before heading back to the City Centre.

It's not unheard of for buses to go back to garage and end up on other routes in the course of a day. ;)

Yes it went out on the 55 this morning and stayed out until 16:21 when it got taken off, possibly because the next driver wasn't trained on them. It then went out as a change bus replacing 4632 on the Pershore Road

There was a middle aged large gentlemen in a grey hoodie taking photos of buses in Acocks Green yesterday. I've seen him before around Solihull/Acocks Green. He also seems to regularly ignore the lockdown.

If he lives in that area and he's walked/cycled there, then I don't see the issue. I've been up to Dudley a couple of times recently and taken some photos, but that's been whilst on my way to get my shopping, or I've walked it up there. I'm not excusing anyone who is actually breaking the rules, but I'd avoid assuming things just because you've seen them out the house.

It doesn't bother me like it does other people on here to be honest. Ive just noticed him out and about. The same gentleman has also been spotted by others in the QE area and West Brom to name but just a few.
Folks, a polite reminder once again to keep this thread on-topic.
Yes, we are all aware of the 'rules' during this lockdown, and has been pointed out already you don't know if someone has a genuine reason to be where they are taking photos, so please stop being judgmental.
Any further off-topic discussion in this thread will be removed, thanks all.

7514 might have broken down. The tracking on Bus Times seems to suggest it was there from 17.54 to 19.18 and didn't complete its 17.34 journey.

Is there much point in reporting that? When we all know those are going on routes still with their 97 branding? ::)
Saw an 11 branded MMC on the 94 yesterday 6146 I think about 17:40 by Drews Lane lights heading inbound. I assume this has been transferred to PB or was it on loan?

Is there much point in reporting that? When we all know those are going on routes still with their 97 branding? ::)
As has been pointed out earlier, unlike the Noteworthy Working threads, there are no hard and fast rules in this thread.
Just exercise a little discretion and caution - and common sense - that's all.
For some, a sighting like this may be a bit of a 'novelty'.
It only becomes tedious when the same people keep reporting route-branded buses on other routes when they know full well it is a regular occurence, as has happened in the past.

I caught 4826 on the 94 this evening, from Priory Queensway to Ward End.
Though there are branded buses are on there all the time anyway, from my experience.
There's a Harborne Platinum on the 14 as well I think.

6888 (X21/X22) on X13 seen in Coleshill.
6886 (Uni Branded) on X2. 6886 now on X12/X13.
6834 (X2 Branded) on X12/X13, when it got to Elmdon Trading Estate on the X12 a woman who got on in Solihull Town Centre asked the driver how much longer it was to Sheldon, think she must have wanted the X2. She was told to go back to International Station and get X1.

Not sure where i got where 1883 was branded from as it never has i think i followed on where 34/39 branding started where i was noting down in my book today apologies about that i put the 37 down because there is a mentioning of the 37 included on the Window so i guess thats not as mucb as the 34/39 so wont inclhde the 37 as part of this now apologies about the mistake
@Jack i will make sure im more correct in my note takings from now on

Perry Barr branded buses regularly seem to appear off route especially on 65/67's and 94/95's.

There's a lot of Perry Barr's branded buses being off-route recently, It's probably due to driver shortages.

Only if the market's on, and then it'd be by tram because the 79 don't go all the way through any more.
Also, I wonder if there are any plans to add the 37 to the branding now NX are doing the full day on it?

Out of interest how come there are no x12/x13 branding. Is it down to not enough busses to brand. Bcus you'll see a x21/x22 23/24 and price branding all on the x12/x13 route

6703 to 6710 used to carry X12 branding when AG ran it.
With the fleet set to be in a state of flux over the next few years, I doubt we'll see any further brandings applied for a while, in fact you're more likely to see more vehicles having theirs removed.

I mean 6945-50 were purchased for the X13 (back when it was the X70).
Like Stu said there's going to be a lot of fleet movements over the next few months, so it's probably not worth doing any branding. We've already seen some of BC's other buses be debranded (Hybrids on 61/3 and a few of the Harborne branded buses - although this was because of PVR changes).

They weren't purchased for any route. The only reason that odd batch ended up at BC was to spread tachograph buses around more garages (6942-6951)

With all these transfers, how soon do they plan on Debranding the vehicles? Sutton branded operating on the 12/12A. Vehicles on the 16 need to be Debranded. Are there plans to brand new vehicles?

I imagine debranding will happen at the earliest opportunity, clearly there's a need to have these vehicles in service immediately, rather than having them off-the-road to have those vinyls removed.

I suppose it depends if garage staff debrand them or an external contractor does, if it's the latter then i imagine they would wait until the whole batch transfers over

Quite noteworthy (for me anyway) having 6806 on the 20 yesterday morning, strange to see them in the complete opposite side of the city they are branded for!
(And yes I know it's permanent transfer before someone tries to point it out!)
