It has been back in service at Perry Barr from last Monday at least when I saw it on the 651. It was on the 654 yesterday. The PB solo's will work both routes randomly.

Do Perry Barr solos have any other work than the 651/54 services,as Wed when I went to the Speedway I saw 287/306/309 all return to the depot by 7 ish all showing 654 which I thought was an allocation of 2.The reason for the request is my friend can never seem to catch 287 working.

Those are the 2 main routes that Solo's are on, but there may be very occasional rare workings on other routes, the 65 and 7 are the main 2 that rare Solo workings are seen on.

306 was indeed on the peak evening 7 the other day, also seen a solo on the 28 yesterday shortly after 5 near Erdington.

Was wondering when a Solo would poke it's head out on the 28. Not been one on there for a while.
