35939 BN72 TTX
35945 BN72 TUO
There's more listed on buslistsontheweb.

I take it that's the B7TLs' days numbered.

That is my thought as well. Looks like the E400's are almost ready for service as well as 33830 has tracked from the bus station to the depot this afternoon.

I had noticed there seems to.be a lot of DD working on the 101 to Stafford but was surprised to see five of the six workings today were deckers according to bustimes, so presumably this is booked.
.
Anyone know since when please?

I was on jury service at Stafford Court last week & the week before and every day it was 5 or 6 doubles. I managed to photograph all but two of their streetdecks in Stafford, and I did see one of the missing two

When I have looked on bus times there does seem to be a decker or two on the 101. This has possibly increased with the holiday timetable on the 25 so more decker's are free to work the 101.

Are these loans or permanent?

Branded 63100 has moved back to Adderley Green and has been replaced at Oldham by 63097 which is in Olympia livery.

Another Streetdeck has arrived in the Potteries from York. This being 35932 MF72 WBM in Unibus livery.

E200 MMC 67180 seems to be the first of the eclipse vehicles to be repainted into the standard potteries livery.

What is the standard allocation on route 100? Only asking as I will be in Stafford for an hour next Thursday..... 
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

the 101 normally is mainly 72 plate streetdecks, otherwise e200mmcs, both vehicle types are really nice inside from my experience.

Thanks for that. I'll be in Stafford for an hour as I said earlier and hopefully will stumble across either or both.

In my experience it rarely has more than a couple of deckers - that said bustimes says five today.

Half term I guess.
