4125 was actually on a daytime duty on the X51 today. It left Birmingham on a lunchtime X51 just after leather-seated Enviro 4768, which was on the 51 - not itself uncommon, but surely the allocations would have been better the other way round??

It was on the 289 stand in Wes brom station at 1pm, thought it was a loan to PE but then it went back to Walsall
2029 on the 529, board 529/13 I think, it left Wolverhampton Bus Station a few minutes ago.
Also, a Spectra on the 1.

It is 816, this replaced a decker sometime this morning. It will do the 17.40 from WB.
601 on WN 59E, seen it coming out Broad Street. I'm sure it's 601, it was a bit distant because I am on 1475 on WA 69.

It is 601. It is on afternoon peak board 59/14 which gets anything going spare at the garage.
The same bus appeared this morning as a peak extra this morning too

Deckers on the 4's or 311/313 perhaps, be much more useful on routes like these compared to the 70A for example but that's just my own opinion

I can fill a gap there.
Around 3pm, it came into St Paul's, showing that destination & carrying passengers, so suspect it came off the 301 at that point.
It then departed empty up St Paul's St towards the Wolverhampton Road, which is where you come in.

1433 out on late 313's
Good to hear! 1433 was on 39 this morning (10:16 departure from Wolverhampton), so it might be a swap?

That's awesome! ;D I haven't seen 1421 for a while, hope she's alright.

Yesterday:
598 on WN79 (Came in displaying 79E to W'ton)
4020 on WN2
2013 on the 20:25 25C from W'ton. Always a Trident that comes off the 27
540* on the 25A/C/27. Saw it go up the bus lane into W'ton Bus Station. Didn't catch the fleetnumber sorry but would have worked the 20:45 27
842 on WN62/11 this running board 62/03
843 on WN4

4015 and 4018 on the 255 today
4015 replaced 4588 which was on that board at 1000 this morning. 4015 was also a replacement as the 0950 Wolverhampton to Merry Hill did not run and 4015 was on that board this afternoon. So it seems that two WN Tridents have been replaced today.
there was an e200 on 79 this morning, 1 on service 3 1 on service 4. a good start considering they were to upgrade other routes such as 81 27/a 28 etc. as for the one on the 62 it was stuck in the perton bus lane as it didnt have the transponder thing. the driver wouldnt risk following a no.10 through so has to wait for assistance to reverse him out.

It may be the extra trips they have appeared to put on as far as Bilston to cover the Metro. There is a B6 currently parked up at the Bus Station displaying 79E-Metro Replacement

It was last one out of garage, so presumably nothing else was available at the time. If a driver found a fault on the allocated Scania and there wasn't another one in the garage then he had to take whatever there was.

In terms of getting a decker around the route, then every route other than the 38 should be able to support them (obviously due to the interworking this adversely impacts most 34 & 39 journeys as well). The 311/313 have used them in the past & todays working has shown the 4, 4H & 4M are capable. I guess loadings on these services don't justify them receiving double decks at the current frequencies?

deckers used to run on the 311/3 until one day one hit a bridge on the way to garage and then they were banned, because the 4 4H & 4M also use Bradford Place i would assume where possible, deckers are not used on these routes either?

I suggested this a while ago, convert the 4 to decker operation with a 10 minute frequency Walsall to Blackheath. The Scanias could be used to wipe out all the B10L's, just a suggestion though

This may well have pre dated the practice of running boards specifying the route buses are to take between Depot and the start / finish points of the running board. All buses running between Bradford Place and Walsall depot are now instructed to go around the back of Asda and down the side of Tescos rather than up the 38 route to the Manor Hospital.

The only problem you have is that you can never predict what people will do, with all the will in the world you can't predict if the driver of a late running bus decides to take a short cut back to garage and either forgets or takes no notice that he is driving a decker.
The best way to get the 4 operated by decker is to transfer it back to WB, but as we know WB have space problems so at the moment that is not feasible.

cheers for confirming the 6 branded B7RLE. Will edit that now. What time did you see 2010?
I'm not certain. I think it was about 10 minutes after I saw 2072.

Probably late night board 59/11. Will check that this afternoon
2017 on the 126 seen on Broad Street around 11:20 heading for Wolverhampton
There have been a few single deckers creeping onto WN's double deck routes again recently. maybe its to do with the fact there are extra buses being used for the Metro replacement

Should be a 29S which is a school journey from Shenley Court School to Serpentine Road which is run by a 22 running board bus so is normally a hybrid
2125 was on the 97 today, at the Airport around 11:15 (I think these are unusual during the day?)

5509 on BC9 this morning. presumbly going onto 829?
Walked up to Quinton this morning to catch it on the 9 back to town after the school service. I must have got my times wrong as I only saw one BC working (B7RLE) :( Was expecting it to turn up around 9:00-9:15 but it must be the 15 minutes before that.

Have WB or AG got a Gemini on loan to WA at the minute? I passed one running a 51 earlier and I swear it didn't have leather seats.

Be one of Walsall's own, 4532, 4533 or 4534
Not unusual to see Geminis on the 37, but this evening it was noteworthy to see 4653 and 4654 operating together in convoy, two sequential fleet numbers following each other!

deckers used to run on the 311/3 until one day one hit a bridge on the way to garage and then they were banned, because the 4 4H & 4M also use Bradford Place i would assume where possible, deckers are not used on these routes either?
This may well have pre dated the practice of running boards specifying the route buses are to take between Depot and the start / finish points of the running board. All buses running between Bradford Place and Walsall depot are now instructed to go around the back of Asda and down the side of Tescos rather than up the 38 route to the Manor Hospital.
The only problem you have is that you can never predict what people will do, with all the will in the world you can't predict if the driver of a late running bus decides to take a short cut back to garage and either forgets or takes no notice that he is driving a decker.
The best way to get the 4 operated by decker is to transfer it back to WB, but as we know WB have space problems so at the moment that is not feasible.
I would imagine that if a driver chose to ignore what the running board said and take an alternative route he /she could face disciplinary action in the same way if they chose to do that while operating on route.
A few weeks ago a mate of mine who drives at WB worked a duty on Dudley Road starting about 11. On his first trip on the 82 he was observed by 2 Inspectors in Bearwood running straight up Bearwood Road instead of via Sandon Road and Rutland Road. He was called in the Office to explain why he had done this. In nearly 5 years at WB he had only operated the 82 once before 2 years ago and was unaware of this minor route change. This was accepted and no further action was taken.

640 on WN 1, seen it arriving Wolverhampton Bus Station at 16:19, heading to Dudley.
620 on WN 2, departed Wolverhampton Bus Station at 16:26, heading to Bushbury. Was on board 2/09. 620 was late, the driver kept pressing the button but no answer from them.

I seem to be having a lucky day, popped to the shop and photted 2109 on the 11C, I suspect that one will be out all evening now.
Ooh, another B6 on WN 81! Just passed 626 in Netherton.
I can confirm 634 will be the 1915 81 ex Merry Hill, if id have known I definitely wouldn't have got on the 141
807 spotted on the 97a heading towards the airport around 6pm
Ahh... That was brilliant - 634 went up the hill verrrry slowly! Had the young pedestrians (teenagers) running up the hill to take pictures or video the bus struggling up the hill. Passengers laughed and shouted "wa-hey!" once reached to the top. :P It was really nice to experience it again, reminded me of the days on 283. Yup, glad I made a good last minute decision going on 634. ;D
Not sure if it's still on but, a B6LE on the 25C, departed W'ton about 17:50, as well as an Enviro200 earlier in the day, 841, departed W'ton Bus station about 16:15 on route 25C clockwise, seems strange seeing the Enviro's on routes by where i live, still getting used to it

Haha. ;D He couldn't because he went around the mini roundabout in Farm Road. :P
To get a good run up the hill, you need to avoid turning left into farm road...Although that section is pointless anyway!
Only thing is that the buses must turn left anyway or there would be a nice downhill stroll because It'd be pointless putting a stop at the bottom of the hill for buses going up
In other news, just spotted a Merc on PE246, Rusells Hall bound for Stourbridge approx 2025 which I believe is a night board

Looking at the allocation list this morning it appears 2014 was not allocated at the garage so i presume either 4018 or 5406 was supposed to be allocated to that board as neither are on 59's but were meant to be allocated.

Not always...
If some one had reported 1898 on the 6 yesterday (which it was) Was it between Sutton and Walsall (bus was at Walsall till last week) or Yardley Wood where bus is now. Vehicles do move garages and can end up on a route with the same number within a couple of days

Wasn't it earlier than that, i.e. 1999-2001ish?
5401 was driven into Wolverhampton Bus Station by an engineer who then took 4547 (Which was stood on Stand U) back to garage. It then pulled onto the 126 stand for a few minutes before pulling out of the station Not In Service.
I'm sure i saw 4547 on the 126 earlier on so 5401 must have gone onto the 126 as a replacement vehicle. Still, Its very rare to get an E400Hybrid on any route at WN other than the 1 and 59 on Sundays

Merc on the 5 today. 1687? It was a distance so that's what I thought I saw...
Did you mean WB5?
1687 is in the training fleet!
It was 1667, replaced a defective 4114
Typo I guess! :P Oh well, been corrected now, quite a 'Blast from the (not so far off) past', when they used to operate the 451... :)
I always thought that the 451 was primarily operated by Presidents ,with the odd ALX400
You need to go back a bit further (around 2004) when the 451 had branded Mercs
Let's just say before the Presidents were in toothpaste livery... ;)

Wasn't it earlier than that, i.e. 1999-2001ish?
WB garage fire was in late 2001 when 451 branded Merc 1623 was lost in the fire. So it was pre late 2001 when the Mercs were branded for the 451

Now that's something I've never seen, with the 255 being one of my local routes
It's a shame it wasn't reported at the time 626 appeared. I'd be gone to either Wolverhampton or Merry Hill to have a ride! Oh, and take a picture.
What time did 626 serve 255?

Yes i know that now. Its working running board 59/10 which finishes at W'ton Bus Station at 20:24. Was allocated from garage too!
638 was allocated to 59/07 from garage too which surprised me. The B6's are usually on peak time extra boards or they replace defective vehicles already allocated.

There was a time 18 months or so ago when this used to be common, but nowadays it tends to be OmniLink operated on Sundays so a very unusual spot!

Very good spot. B6's are never usually out on Sundays nowadays except from one from WN on the 62 service
As notepanel mentioned, Omnilinks are usually the norm although B7RLE's are used on the Sunday 40 too. Same applies the 34E/39E

Bit of old gen for today but a West Brom E200 which from memory was 812 (but not certain ) on a 80 service outside the Bull Ring about 820am - first one i have seen on that and it looked empty so may have been an extra.
Also bit belated but in West Brom Saturday the 53 service was certainly solid Mercs in the morning and also viewed 1695 on a 48 which must be rare now!

Do Mercs still operate the Sunday 48? Only saw one 48 on Sunday and it was a ALX400 B7TL. I have observed that the Sunday 42/3 have been allocated E200's for the past couple of weeks instead of the Mercs.

I probably should know this for sure as I live 5 mins away from the 48. But I think so yes. Two weeks ago, the evening Sunday buses were 4249 and 4530, I haven't seen a Merc on the 48 on a Sunday for a while

Caught the 4H at 16:24 departure ex Walsall (although a few minutes late, tut tut). It was a really nice ride. Coming back to Walsall, when the bus got to Coombs Road, it managed to get up the hill, there was a point where the hill was very steep, the bus was like a B6 (weird but funny)! It got the power back again after passing the steep bit.

Yeah then surely it should be in route branded buses off route thread. Just to clarify, is the noteworthy workings threads about bus type?
If the OP feels its noteworthy then thats fine. I had already posted it earlier on in the RBBOR thread this morning but it is worth a mention as you don't have 1 branded vehicles on the 59. Infact its worth a mention that it was the only E400H today on there.
Meant to post this yesterday ,but had a bit of a wifi blackout, so...
508 on 25E to Bushbury Hill at about 1435, not sure on the time, Nathan was with me and he should remember the time, think the driver was extremely late as he seemed to be in a rush to get everyone on
