4566 was intended to do the 19:00 54 to stafford. luckily the driver had a bit of time before leaving, and contacted garage. he ended up swapping for b7rle 2067 which was on 54 until end of service. cant see why the decker couldnt have carried on. only place it may be a bit close is the school road bit in coven

This board comes off a 28 so would have usually been an E200. I suspected that 4566 was that particular board. I'm not sure if its an 'official' ban or a blanket ban 'like deckers on the 81' but deckers are not supposed to be on the 54. If he had time to get the bus swapped then i can't see the problem?
@mranon did the B7 come from garage or was it swapped at station before it was due to go back to garage?

Possibly, but I cannot tell, 6144 - 6148 are all entering service today, but are not tracking yet and I cannot see them. I know 6145 & 6146 were allocated to two of the last out 50 boards and 6144 has since come out as a change bus for 6125 also on the 50, but I have no idea where 6147 & 6148 are

@jack4325 It depends what time you saw 4242, if it was on the day, then yes. But if you saw it in the peaks, there are plenty of extra buses that are not Enviro400 that come off school services, there is also a 907 board that swaps to 904s around 4.30pm for the night
4359 on the 9 should be in Birmingham by now
Yesterday 4302 and 423* were on the 33 (not the school run). Had a friend driving 4302. One of the most polite drivers in PB.

I saw an E400MMC this morning on the Stratford Road in Sparkbrook around 8:40am. It was too far ahead in the queue of traffic to see either the fleetnumber or route number, so could have been on the 2, 3 or 6, if anyone else can narrow it down or confirm.
