4680 is not on a late board it will return to garage from Walsall at 2100 hrs
From September no double deck on late board 89.
The 2105 89 from Walsall will come from W41-01 board.
The 1955 41 from Walsall when arrives at Wilenhall 2035 will run
Private to Walsall Bus Station for the 2105 departure.
The 2005 89 comes from Garage off earlier W89-07 board
So no more double deck on 89 at night.
Oh ok. I don't usually see the 21:43 departure from my stop (Lichfield Rd towards W'ton). Cheers for that.
Anybody able to assist? I was on a trident this morning on the 904 about 9.15ish, I know this is an odd working on the Sutton Lines now, can anybody confirm which bus it was. My picture didnt come out very good.

That's reminded me! (YW) 1915 was on the 67 today as well. Passed it on The Priory Queensway early afternoon
I couldn't work out what was on one of the running boards this afternoon, that's why, loans don't show up. I had already checked all of Bordesley's fleet!

There was another 49** Enviro400 on the 16 today. I don't know if we are short of B7TLs, or a 16 board is allocated an Enviro400
4937, if I remember correctly. It was a Ticket Branded bus. Also, 47** (Scania) on the 16. Just before I saw 4937...

The OmniCity must have been a change bus or the bus that comes off the 46A school service (as it then goes onto the 16), it wasn't on there when I was

5403 has its 'Electric Hybrid Bus' lettering on the front upper deck window removed.
Was this allocated to that running board or was it a swap?

Only rode 1921 yesterday as well on the 6 (excellent Scania btw) - is PB suffering from a single deck shortage at the moment?

I know Tony has said the new WB E400s are bound to appear on some 'undesignated' services, since they're all in service, but might as well say.
496* was seen on the 87, still boarding outside the pavilions

More than likely a swap although i can't be sure
I saw the following today which was a bit unusual:
4777 - Working on the Sutton Lines Route 904
4697 - Working on Route 115.

The majority of the 25's today have been Spectra's from my observation. 4002,4005,4012,4015 and 4022 are the ones I've noted.
E400 on 244/276 tonight. Left Dudley approx 2120 on a 276
Does 4778 on the 16 count as noteworthy?
4160 on late night 22/23A - certainly unusual at this time of the day. A 494x E400 also on there, possibly 4948.
1668 on the X96 all day.
2129 is on the 99 today. Weird for a Sunday, when there should be around 7 spare E200s not in use.

I am really surprised about that and I think it is really poor. When full length buses are on the 99 they are unable to complete the loop around Welsh House Farm due to narrowness of roads, parked cars and the angle of the hill.
Especially on a Sunday with most people at home, even more cars around

Personal opinion but I don't think the 99 should serve Wisley way anyway, always has been a bit tight for my liking even back in the days of the 636

4290 was on a 902 in City at approximately half 2 this afternoon. A bit early to be a peak extra, so it may have been a change bus

These may not be considered noteworthy, but I did not expect to see so many B6's and Mercs with the new deliveries completed. Maybe a few Mercs will stay at WN until the work on the trams is completed.
