Out of the PE fleet it would be 1515,1704,1707,1743,2078,2083,2095,2154,4194,4199,4202. I see these alot and yes I have loads of buses stalking me ;D

Just came off Broad Street heading for Birmingham.
Could have still been 824 on the 120/140 or 141?
Could have been one of WBs on the 127/128/129.
(could have been one of PEs on the 9 also!)
Or could have been one of BCs on the 22, 23, 24 or 29?
::)

Does anybody know why the 289 does not serve merry hill or cradley heath anymore. Because I think that was a stupid idea to do. Because now I have to walk to the other side of Brickhouse farm to Rowley regis hospital to catch the 4M. Its a 15 mins walk and in the freezing cold it is not pleasant >:(
This has been debated on here before and if i remember rightly, it may be to aid the punctuality of the 53 which it interworks with.
However i think it was a quite daft idea, everytime i see it (especially with deckers on it) its virtually empty.

I wonder if PE will get any more B7RLE's or tridents to replace the rest of the mercs soon. Or if PE are very lucky maybe new E400's if they don't go to WA or the Birmingham garages as they always do. But I doubt new E400's will go to PE. They will probably get B7RLE's or tridents ;)
Given that PE has seen quite a bit of investment over the last couple of years, new E200s, new B7RLEs, i would expect that any vehicles that are needed for the replacement of the Mercs will come from cascading vehicles from other depots.
PE will probably get tridents from Birmingham to replace the mercs because over the last couple of months PE as had quite a few tridents join their fleet to operate the 246 service mainly plus a few on the 53/289 and the 276. Just saying it would be a change if PE got new DD instead of WA and Birmingham garages. But I agree with Pershore Rd having a upgrade. Maybe the tridents used for the Pershore road could be transferred to PE to replace the rest of the mercs ::)
What you have to remember to is that WN & WB still have Mercs as well that need replacing, so it may well be that they start replacing these before PE see any more buses, new or not so new.
Personally i think they should round up all the Mercs and send them to CV and send some of CVs deckers to replace them. ::) ::) ::) ::)

I have noticed that have started removing the £3.90 daysaver advertising from B7RLE's and Omnilinks presumably down do fare increases in January
I just saw a B7RLE from my window going past on the 241 without the £3.90 ad.
Well most B7RLE's at WN have had them removed but I have seen some B7RLE's at PN with it removed too

241 is running in pairs tonight it seems, just saw 2100 and another B7 in convoy
When coming home today the 241 was 25 mins late when it arrived. I think it was 2089. When I got on the jammed packed 241 a late 140 (2154) pulled up in front of us and then 3 mins from Dudley another 241 overtook us. I think it was 2100. So there was a 140 plus 2 241's from Rowley regis-Quinton running in pairs. Might explain why there was 2 241's running in pairs. Probably because of one road when it was the 140 (Hagley road) ;)
That's a different pair to the one I saw, 2100 was defo the one running late, was on the 15:23 from Dudley but arrived in Halesowen at 16:35 with the 15:53 right behind
