Do Omnilinks on the (AG) 5 count?

That is unusual, usually by the evening its only Geminis left on the 11A/C.
There's still a Gemini out and about on the evening 31E, 4650 I think it is, that's usually singles off the 37 in the evenings.
Also, earlier today, 4655 was out on the 1, which is normally single-deck on Sundays.

Spectra on my school service 703
Do WN operate the morning St Thomas Moore Buses now then? The 703 was still operated by WB yesterday afternoon.
Last evening's 451 service was solid Benz, with 1666 and 1653 noted, plus 169X, in place of the normal Warships.
Wright Eclipse Urban 1750 on WA 39, arrived in Wolverhampton Bus Station at 11:08am. Will depart at 11:16am.
Also, another Wright Eclipse Urban 1758 on WA 39, seen it in Wednesbury Road at 11:53am.
1673 on daytime WN59 yesterday.
4899 on the 61/63 yesterday afternoon.
The driver was complaining saying it was no quicker than our 13 year old 41 hundreds.

I reported this in the Route Branded Buses Off Route thread in addition. Thank you for confirming the fleet number. I think the 41xx's are quicker then the new E400's to be honest.

Answered by BN further up in the thread :)
There was an Omnilink and 4765 on WA8/89 today.
With 5513 on the 255/6/7 and 5514 on the 126, no wonder there was no B5's on the 59 today!
Walsall's regular Scania routes, were there any 'missing in action' today?
There was a 4 branded & an unbranded one on the 302 tonight.
What would have been covering in their place on their regular routes?

Well, sort of relevant, but Walsall College did a media production about public transport issues. You could just about see a 4 branded Scania there (1854, by the looks of the reg plate).

4870 was on WA89 earlier. Seen on the Lichfield Rd just before New Invention about 18:45.
601 was put onto board 59/07 late this afternoon to replace a Spectra and stayed out till end of board (20:2* at Bus Station)
any of these unusual:
809 on the 63 going towards Frankley at 6pm by Edgbaston Cricket Ground
1933/ 7027 on the 1 at 6pm too
4441 on the 23A to Kitwell seen in Birmingham at 11:10 pm
(it also said then to Woodgate and via M5 Services .. does it go through the M5??)
@OH25 - 809, definitely i suppose... There has been Tridents on the 23A before, but not too sure, as It's been mainly E400H operated recently... (From my observations)

As Clayderman says, 809 on the 63 is most definitely unusual, far fewer Tridents on the 22/23 of late but you do sometimes get one or two, although they often tend to appear in the afternoon peak. Have noticed of late that where non Hybrids are used it's often a standard E400 that's put out.

I blame whoever created the silly route number system. I literally thought PB46 at first but then I remembered there is WB46 as well. I assume you mean 1695 on
WB46.
Maybe we can go back to putting garage codes along with route numbers. Especially when there are route number duplicates.

Well, for me, it's sort of unusual to have Tridents because there are likely to be B10Ls and Wright Eclipse Urbans on WA 69 on Saturdays. Last Saturday, missed 69 so don't know what they had. Saturday before, 69 had 2 B10Ls, a Wright Eclipse Urban and 4774. :) I go on 69 every Saturday and there were few occasions Tridents appeared recently so hence my post about 4125. :)

@P419 EJW ironically 1695 was the only bus I saw (saw it about 3 times) on the 46 today, and I live right by the 46 bus stop

It would be really odd if this was allocated from the garage.

Seemed to be lots of not necessarily rare, but unusual workings in Walsall today.
OmniLinks were in operation on the 10, 40/41, 70A & 29 services.
The three vehicles I noticed on the 301 were 2 Tridents & an Enviro (this was around 1030 - so a bit late for all the workings that come off the school services I believe).

Thanks for letting me know, Tony. :) A good day for 1431, 1475 and 1479.
Is a B6 on West Brom's 44 route unusual, as 524 was on there today? (I usually see Darts on it)

Thank you. Same board like yesterday with 1431.
2018 on WN59. allocated to late night 59/09 from start of board i think (saw it early this morning and have seen it throughout the day)
A merc is also on WN59.
There appears to be no Spectra's on WN59 today which is quite a noteworthy thing. Can't think of the last time there wasn't one Spectra on the 59 (Excluding Sundays of course)

Well, not years. Months. :) See my sighting on 45 here. http://wmbusphotos.com/forum/index.php?topic=2274.msg69296#msg69296
The last decker I saw on that corridor that wasn't a photograph was a Metrobus on the 405E, now that is going back...
2080 making a racket on the 9 this afternoon. Hardly any NX B7s to be seen in Halesowen these days.
Noteworthy day on 301s
B10 1433, 4 Volvo B7s (I think 1752, 1767 and 1771 were among them) and 2 tridents 4132 and 4129. No sign of any Scanias from what I saw which must be unusual.
2099 also on 9 this evening

Apart from Sundays with the 297E and 244 ;)
I was told there was a Spectra on WN2 also.
2018 was taken off the 59 early this evening and swapped with 4545 from board 59/08 (What should have been allocated in the first place!)

I've noticed a few Spectra's appearing on the 27 this week. I have also noticed an increase of B6's on the 25/A/C this week
I guess B7RLEs aren't unusual on the 24, been about 3 or more on there this week, arriving outside Four Dwellings towards terminus around 3:30(?)
In other news 4908 was on the 24 also, I haven't seen on in days, mostly been on the 22 when I see them in Harborne! (Holly May, 4906 i think, was on the 22s)
EDIT: Also, there was a ticket branded E200 on the 29A, around 4:20-ish towards town. Speaking of ticket branding, an e400 at BC has gained one, couldn't identify from afar, probably 4908? As the e400 was on the 24, has 4908 been on the 24 all day?
808 was on the 97 this afternoon.

My typo - 808 on the regular 'anything goes' board that the hybrid sneaks onto occasionally.
It was 809 last time I photographed it last September

I miss B6s struggling up the hill! Haha, that article reminds me of one afternoon at 16:25, 603 was packed and halfway through up the hill, it started to slow down then stopped. The driver revved the engine, the bus did not move! 😂 It was funny. The driver got out and had a red face "Would half of you all mind getting off and walk up?" We got off, I had to take a picture of it! The hill was really steep, it was difficult walking up. 603 slowly rolled up the hill and picked us up again. There was another hill ahead, thank god 603 was alright on that one!
Well, yeah, pretty much the same as the article but wanted to say my version.
Hopefully, 634 will go up slowly.
Boo. The bus station supervisor said 14:45 81 bus is broken down... 😒 Was looking forward to go on 634.

@P419 EJW,
@the trainbasher - 638 was the slowest, worst B6 at BC on the 636 back in 2012. It would crawl up Mucklows Hill at about 3-4mph, and would struggle to accelerate down hill! Don't try to slow the thing down as the brakes were either on or off!
Even still, better that then the E200's!

638 definately has a bad and well known reputation. As for 634, why they decided to trial it on WN81 the mind boggles after all the occassions of crawling up The Holloway on the old 62A. However, if you "give it the beans" before you start to go up the hill, you'll just about do it

@Liverpool Street
You're too right,
@the trainbasher. Just been looking at the Great Park service timetables... 41 minutes of a night for the 98 end to end, and 24 minutes for the X64 from Square Peg to Woodcock Hill.. No thank you!
I need to compare the times between timing points on the Bristol Road 61 / 3 and the GP X64 / 98.
3601 on the 49 yesterday morning.
Saw a 200* B7 on the 126 yesterday afternoon (Think it was 2005)
1904 is on WA89 today. It has been a while since an Omnilink operated the 89 on a Sunday
1627 243/244
1620, 1642 276
It appears the 140/241 has gone back to B7 operation on a Sunday.
As mentioned by Matt 1627 is on the 243/4. Came into Dudley about 18:40-18:45
Also 2007 is on the 126 this evening. Replaced 4544 which was taken back to garage by an engineer for vehicle servicing. It worked the 19:05 ex W'ton

508 is on the afternoon peak extra which is allocated anything. 632 is on late night board 59/09 and i think it has been on since start of board which is very rare.
Also this afternoon:
4569 on WN1. Seen about 16:20 on Pipers Row going towards Dudley.
4586 on WN2. Seen at Wolverhampton Bus Station about 4pm or roundabout that time going towards Bushbury Hill
4570 on WN4. Seen on Lichfield St about 16:23-16:25 opposite the Art Gallery going towards Bradmore
4542 on WN28 (A trident on the 28 with a B6 on the 59! Whats the logic behind that then??? ;)). Seen about 15:45-15:50 turning from Wolverhampton Rd into New Cross Hospital
Has anyone got a link to a b6 on the 59? if you do I'd be most great full.

You mean a link of a photo? I would take a photo in abit but by the time i go out it will most likley be swapped for a trident/hybrid with it being a late board.
508 and 632 were running together too. A very rare sight to see two B6's running together!

Be prepared to see more B7's (And maybe B6's) on the 81 route soon....
4535 was also on WN2 today. Saw that at 1800 ish leaving the bus station for Warstones
One B10 most days on YW18
And I use WB B6's to get to work, does that make me a "tramp"? WB have the most enthusiast interesting B6's which is why it's suddenly a hot topic, because I initially suggested it to a number of people on here

No. You mis-interpreted it. I did not mean bus euthansists going on WB B6s, I meant people in WB use B6s. It would be silly if I said to here... If so, I would be a tramp then. Duh.

Late gen but noteworthy , 6 branded 2074 made a rare foray onto the 529 last night, around 2210 into Wolvo. must have been a swop out as I saw it running empty Pendeford to PL just after 6pm.

I'm sensing a pun here... Haha!
Some from friday 20th
824 - PE297
1518 - PEX96 - Stayed out all evening
2064 - WN126 - late night
4310 4563 4581 - WN25/27 - late night - one Trident is or was the norm but three is worth a shout. Couldn't have picked any worse ones though could they...
Nothing NXWM related from me tonight
824 got out on the 9 a couple of days back apparently

4908 has just left City on the Bristol Road
and here it is on Smallbrook Queensway

With a Trident running directly behind! 4909 running late?
Yes 4908 was running late. It was late out of garage, presumably as a last minute change bus, and did a 61 in and 63 out both late
4194 and 4346 on PE140/241. Hadn't seen Tridents on the Sunday service until today. I presume the 3rd bus is a Trident aswell?
Also 2011 on WN126. Seen by the Burntree Tesco traffic lights going towards Birmingham at 16:18
4676 on AG1

Central do a trip in the mornings, then onto a 97 for the rest of the day. It is usually a branded bus that does it, but it still looks strange to see

So it was the only Tacho BC bus then! How's the Ad-Blu power delivery? I remember driving this, a mighty fine vehicle. Drivers seat could do with being a bit higher, mind.

Have the Scania's got Tacho's fitted as well then as I wouldn't have thought them to be the obvious choice as from a passengers point of view I think they are particularly uncomfortable

5511 was parked up on Lichfield St about to work a 1 about 16:15 this afternoon so must have moved to the 126 this evening. I wonder if 5511 replaced broken down 4593 or maybe 4540 which had a seat ripped out at the back (top deck) by vandals.
4913 (957) 'Maria' > 70 replaced 4190 I think
I'm going to nip back out shortly to try and get a clip and pic of it if I've worked it out correctly it should be working the 12:23 70 ex City if BC haven't replaced it for another trident
2079 on the 222, fairly full!

From what I saw, there's a B7TL Gemini on the 33, about an hour ago going into city. Couldn't see properly, as I had seen it on the other side of Birchfield Road / High St.
A B7RLE is on the evening Northwood Park services tonight
B7 on WN1 towards Tettenhall Wood
633 swapped with 1671. 633 was on WN28 and changed over to WN62. 1671 is now WN28. Seen them in Wolverhampton Bus Station.

Cheers Tony - it should therefore have also done half a 120.

Beat me to it ;) Saw by New Cross Hospital about 12:10-12:15 going towards Walsall.
Also today i've sighted:
4561 on WN28 (Was on the 59 this morning)
2011 on WN59 (Very rare on a Saturday and the replacement of 4561). A late night board too
4777 on PB904
4304 on PB905
Yup, just saw 4561 on WN28 entering New Cross Hospital. 4020 is on WN28, seen it in New Invention at 16:53.
1673 on WN 2, seen it in Wolverhampton Bus Station at 18:01, heading to Warstones.
Reason for editing: Added the Spectra's fleet number and another sighting.

The 28 is regually fully Spectra operated on Saturdays from my observation :)
B7 2085 is on the 9, driven by one of Pensnett's finest.
It was on the 1819 ex Quinton church towards Stourbridge...only just missed it too!
2002 on WN126 this evening. Worked the 19:25 departure from Wolverhampton
4561 would have come off WN59 to replace either 4009 or 555 on WN28 as Nathan has vouched for seeing 4020 not failing on the 28
2 Tridents on WN32/33
4763 - WA302
4522 - WB42/43 (not seen any deckers recently)
1651 - WB48 (only see deckers atm)
5513 - late WN126 (2225 ex Wolverhampton for the green heap lovers)
@Ashley singles do still appear on the 48, there was a R/S reg on there today, and one on there on Wednesday
5513 will have been 4574's replacement, which abandoned its attempt at the 1945 126 trip in Dudley, due to a suspension issue.

May you explain further. I fail to understand what you are trying to say as i have not mentioned anything to do with 4020 on the 28 ???
Eclipse 2 B7RLE on the 957 this evening. I'm not normally in the city centre this time of evening (was about 8:40pm), so not sure if this is usual for Sunday evening or not?

By process of elimination it would have been 4009 that came off WN28 for whatever reason
4822 on 222 just arriving at merry hill, may be the X96 board. Not sure
If I saw 807 on 97 now would it be on all day or peak board?

Saw an omnilink on a 49E to Longbridge this afternoon.
Why will there be more B7's on then the mercs go. 43 out of 47 B7's are already allocated
