@Sayeed Ta for that. Are there single deckers on there as well (the decker is on the same board each day), or are they all deckers do you know
would I be right in thinking single deckers are starting to become more usual on the 79? 2021 on there today.

From my own observations the X64 is still primarily single deck although doubles on there are no longer the rarity they once were.

Just on loan I take it? Sounds like the Perry Barr blinds are in use, as the lower case X is how the X51 is displayed on our buses (unless Walsall's new super X has it this way as well)

Yes, 4933 was on loan today. Walsall buses don't have lower case 'x'. They show 'X51'. Well, the 997 Super X buses haven't been on X51 yet. :)

The unusual bit is being outside Morrisons as the 9 doesn't stop there, it goes under the underpass. It had presumably operated a 9E to Five Ways and turned on the roundabout

Apparantly there were a few E400H's parked in the garage earlier so may have something to do with it?

Yep thats the one, deckers can go on the 81 but arent needed odds are it was a replacement bus
There has been a Trident on that short working to Dudley a few times
Can't put a quote on it but referring to E400's on PE53/289. They are a daily occurance as well as B7RLE's. Only noteworthy item on there would be 824

Not sure what board this is on
One or two of the last departures from City on the 22/23 and 24 do swap, so for example a 24 comes in and leaves as a 23A and a 22 in leaves as a 24 but I don't know if this involves the 29A (which interworks with the 24) or if it also happens on a Sunday.
If not then it is mind bogglingly noteworthy.

Unless a hybrid was out on the 24 today, with the allocator either forgetting or not being concerned about the interworking with the 29A?

Today??
Just departed now
23:35
Not sure what board this is on
One or two of the last departures from City on the 22/23 and 24 do swap, so for example a 24 comes in and leaves as a 23A and a 22 in leaves as a 24 but I don't know if this involves the 29A (which interworks with the 24) or if it also happens on a Sunday.
If not then it is mind bogglingly noteworthy.
@Mike K don't the Harborne routes change to B7RLE during the evenings anymore?
@Sh4318, the 24/29/29a all interwork at night so the 24 does switch to B7RLE but the 22/23 are now hybrid operated at night again since the last lot of service changes.

Unless a hybrid was out on the 24 today, with the allocator either forgetting or not being concerned about the interworking with the 29A?
On looking at the Harborne timetables it looks like there is all sorts of interworking on last few journeys of the night from Colmore Row. I might be wrong but I think the final 29A at 23.35 on a Sunday is the 22/23 board that arrives into Colmore Row at 23.32. If so this working would be normal. Good call though, certainly noteworthy.

There are 2 tridents on there today it's just the board i'm confused on board as they are strange on the 82due to journeys starting mid route.
320 made it onto the 28 this afternoon. Must have been a change bus as it was not on there this morning, and it has been a while since a Solo made it onto the 28. I would love to see a new Enviro200 on there one day

With WB losing 4 single deck (564, 569, 1702 & 3602) and one double deck (4115) so far without replacement and two buses away for refurb they will be working to the limit with fewer spares. They have managed to get a full service out yesterday and today without borrowing from other garages, so a few odd workings are likely. It is possible their first new buses may arrive Friday.
1475 is on the 311 and left Dudley about 7pm
4572 on evening 11/32/33's. Currently following it down Stafford Rd.
And 508 is still on the 59 as of 20:20. I wonder whether this will make it till the end of service? Very rare to have a B6 on 59's at this time (Unusual to get them full stop). 9 times out of ten the driver usually gets it swapped for a Trident but not this evening....
@Nathan Maybe/Hopefully the driver is a B6 fan?

Well it isn't one of the regular evening 59 team (Or the daytime 59 rota) so he probably wouldn't get the bus swapped. Its usually the regular evening 59 drivers that get Spectra's/B6's/Mercs swapped if they get allocated to late nights.

320 made it onto the 28 this afternoon. Must have been a change bus as it was not on there this morning, and it has been a while since a Solo made it onto the 28. I would love to see a new Enviro200 on there one day
On there again this afternoon as well
I had the pleasure of 320 on the 28 this afternoon. Very quick off the mark, but after it got into 3rd gear, it was very sluggish. Other than that, a very nice bus. I think we are a bit short of OmniLinks this week, as 320 has been on the 28 3 times this week (was on the 654 yesterday).
@John, i'd like to see one of the new arrivals (Won't be long before the E200's arrive surely?) on the 28.
What are the loadings like on the 28 may i ask?
@Nathan Didn't Tony say they may arrive the end of this week? Suppose it will take a few days to get them into service.

I would like to see that as well, if it is going by this week, with 320 on there 3 times, then there might be a chance to see a Enviro200 on there. If West Brom are still set to start to receive theirs tomorrow, then we might get our 4 within the next week or two.
To be honest, loadings on 320 was not bad, the most I had was a full sitting load (It may have been more if I was on time, but due to an accident on route, and the diversion been gridlocked, I was running with an OmniLink for my last trip back from Heartlands)
EDIT - 320 seems to only work one of the afternoon boards on the 28. It was on 28/16 today

The 997/E work on there own boards, in fact, other than the first/last journeys even the 997 & 997E are separate. There are 5 boards, however not all are in service at the time, as buses drive back and park at the garage for driver reliefs/breaks.

806 was on late night 957s last night
7030 was on the 33 yesterday. It replaced a broken down Enviro400 at Pheasey
806 also did a trip on the 58 around 5 o clock. Out of interest would 4697 being on the 38 be classed as unusual or is it still "anything goes"?

The 38 does seem to get anything, usually one OmniLink and one Decker (usually a 63 Enviro400). I have seen a Gemini and a 61 Enviro400 on there as well , I would say an OmniCity is unusual on there though
Ahh Fair enough, cheers John. I don't know why but since it became the 38 I assumed it was solid 63 plate enviros :/ 4853 and 4697 were both on there yesterday anyway.
There was also an Omnicity on the Sutton Lines at the evening peak.
99 branded E200 on the 22S
4008 on WN1.
4737 on WA69.
There was a B10L on the 313 yesterday.
244 was also spotted in Walsall Bus Station too.
All between 5 & half 5!
5407 back in Birmingham on the way to Wolves on the 126.
Also, not particularly rare, but (really) not appearing recently:
4907 (Sophie) on the 24 and another* E400.
In addition to this, an ex-WN unbranded B5 was on the 24 too.
*EDIT: As mentioned in the BC Thread, it appears to me that 4905 (Tiah Joy) is the other E400 on the 24.

Are you calling me a liar?! I will try and get a picture then....
I can't believe i have to try and prove that i saw 582 on the 69
You know i don't lie about what i see so don't try and make out that i am! And yes it was 582 as i saw the fleet number >:(
Apologies, I read the original post as 59!
Read the post again Tony:
582 on WA69
I did initially see it pass my school on Lichfield Rd but it rushed past so just assumed it was on WN59 but then saw it again on Essington Rd and realised the bus i saw was 582.
I presume you were responding to that just after i edited my post so looking at the quotes it looked like you were saying 582 wasn't on the 69
4012 on 126 then got took off for 82
2069 on 82 then got put on to 126
4733 on WA69.

584 worked the 22.00 46 yesterday, no b6 were on the 47 which was rare.
Would 6 B6LE's on WN82 in the same day be worth mentioning, pretty sure theres never that many
4586 did the 2255 1 ex Dudley if anybody would like to know
824 plus a B7RLE were on PE297A yesterday
2078 and 2080 - PE246 yesterday with 2078 out for the night

Thanks for the pictures, NXDom. :) It looks weird being on 82. :P
I know the driver literally said 'Dom, i'm guessing you know how rare this is' :P
4593 - WN4 - 1820ish ex Lichfield Street towards Spring Hill
555 - WN3 - 1832 ex Lichfield Street towards Castlecroft
4012 - WN255 - 1815ish on Lichfield Street
2144 - 22E
With more Hybrids at WN unbranded it is more likely that they will wander around it seems

4012 was on a late night 59 board so must have been taken off and put on the 255.
4593 must have been the Trident i saw on the 4 then
That is the second time in the past few weeks that 555 has worked the 3. Nice spot. Another one of the rare workings in W'ton yesterday

So it was on there! Spent ages looking for it with no look. Wanted to see if it was on the usual trident board but a B7 turned up.
I was told by a driver on the 62 that a 'hybrid' was on the 3. Was going to ask if anybody had seen it so thanks for that post :) Another rare working involving an E400H over the past few days. The 3 has seen two E400H's within days of each other.
No wonder there were single deckers on double decker routes such as the 59,255 and 529 with a E400H on the 3 and several Tridents on the 2 and 4!
4905 was seen on Priory Queensway with 29A on the destination display this afternoon. Maybe about to start a peak time journey? I can't remember the last time I saw a double decker on the 29/A

Yes 4905 did the 16:24 29A from Colmore Row covering a late running journey for 2130 which was late arriving in Birmingham. It returned empty so just did the one journey

There are 4 E400H's on WN59 today (5404/5/8/9) however this is nothing out of the ordinary considering the spare hybrids off the 1 appear on the 59. There have been less hybrids on 59's though over the past few weeks due to them appearing on other routes.
As the replacement for the 551*'s, E400H's will appear on the 59 like the B5's did

The reverse video was introduced on the 255E by Simon Mathieson just after it was renumbered from 254, after complaints from the Wall Heath brigade at a Dudley TUF meeting. They wanted the 254 number reinstated and this was a compromise to make it clear that the bus is a short working.
It's a good idea, and I am surprised that it has not been extended to other regular "E" services.
In addition, 1662 was on the 255 today. It replaced 4584 which was taken out of service at Merry Hill this morning with a damaged nearside panel, having apparently come into contact with something near Swindon.

What is the matter with anybody who lives in Wallheath, they can't see destinations on buses properly, they need a bus service direct to the hospital just in case in the next 50 years, someone may need to go to there.
I am glad for once that NE have gone by there word, they said use the 205 or loose it, they didn't use it so now, apart from a handful of journeys, they have lost it.

Yes this worked the 19:25 25C from Wolverhampton. Passed it at Long Knowle Lane at 20:55. Usually a Merc on this board however 4586 worked that board yesterday.
On Saturdays this trip is a B6 which comes off the 27

What is the matter with anybody who lives in Wallheath, they can't see destinations on buses properly, they need a bus service direct to the hospital just in case in the next 50 years, someone may need to go to there.
I am glad for once that NE have gone by there word, they said use the 205 or loose it, they didn't use it so now, apart from a handful of journeys, they have lost it.
Out of curiosity, how many passenger's per bus makes the journey worthwhile operating?
That's a very good question.
I have caught the 205 from Wallheath church quite a few times and each time, if there was 2 passengers on board then it was a good day. I would presume that all operators accept that the fact that certain journeys will be quiet, it is just when most journeys are quiet that the service becomes unviable

Why do they do that, Use the inverse for the 255E that is?
Presumably to identify the short working, if they want to do that, don't know why its not done for all short workings!
The reverse video was introduced on the 255E by Simon Mathieson just after it was renumbered from 254, after complaints from the Wall Heath brigade at a Dudley TUF meeting. They wanted the 254 number reinstated and this was a compromise to make it clear that the bus is a short working.

Every other Friday I quite often catch the 8.55pm Diamond 205 towards Wallheath down to K'ford, if there is more than just me on board it is unusual.

I was on the trip before from Gornal and got off at Russell's Hall. This trip is booked to run trips on the 9 so is booked as an E400 so its normal I'm afraid.
2081 is also on PE246. Seen on Brettell Lane about 3 mins ago going towards Dudley
@trident4370, maybe 4808 is on tunnel standby filling in on routes with delays. Iirc last year a WN trident made it onto the 51. Will try and find the post as I'm sure it was posted

Is the 141 on its own on Sundays or does it interwork with the 140/241 (At the B'ham end?)
They operate seperately looking at the timetable Nathan. :)

You may find that B7RLE's appear on the 141 quite often due to interworking with the 140/241. From my observation (On the 140/241 end) there still seems to be a couple of B7RLE's operating alongside the E400's and Tridents.
Todays Noteworthy Workings:

A trident and two scanias (1911 & 1914) - on the 35 today. Also, it's seems to now share the 45 bus stop at the Markets, which don't say 47? Or at least I didn't see, I could only see the 35 and 45 marked on the bus stop...

The 35 was rerouted that way from 20th July iirc or was it before that?
Tridents appear on the 35 daily alongside the Tridents but nice spots with the Omnilinks :)
Thought I may have seen a trident on the 276 route today? Didn't get to see the front though so may be wrong.

Thought the tridents were not too noteworthy, not a big YW bus spotter. lol. If I remember, I think it might've been 4370. Nice to see a TWM livery back on the 35. Ah, memories
Pretty sure There is a booked omnilink on the 35 every day, usually leaves KH at 9:45 ish towards Hawkesley. also tridents have been appearing a lot more lately, possibly due to the Longbridge rail replacement which usually gets enviros.
Well, seems as if 1914 won't stop. It's still out tonight! Also, 5401 has been coming back to it's previous home, Birmingham, on the 126...

The E400H's are appearing quite regularly on the 126 at present.
TBH I'm enjoying having the e400h on their and now starting to re-like the tridents.
And on that note 5401 is on the 126 this afternoon. Caught it ftom Dudley to W'ton at 5PM.
Also this afternoon:
477* (4778 or 4779) on PB7. Is this unusual? Seen a couple on there but i mostly see Gemini's.
1627 on PEX96
1546 on PE246
4009 on WN1
5416 (1 Branded) on WN59. Seen in Wednefield High St at 19:35.

They do appear on the 7 every now and again, mainly at weekends
4475 had a day on the 115/914, weird seeing an '03 reg Gemini with a tree deflector, if anything, it adds more to the design in my opinion
222 branded 827 on the 243/244 yesterday (30/07/14)

Related to that, most days this week (including today), there has been an unbranded 61 plate Enviro400 on the Sutton Routes. Not unusual, but different
