Don't really think a Scania or any Full size single is that noteworthy on the 74 really. A 7** E200 is noteworthy. Bus on Bus service now.

Out of all buses the 74 can get
E400 
E400MMC
B7TL Gemini
E200
E200MMC
Omnilink
The last 3 are the least common due to being single deckers

I agree, the last 3 are the least common.
Bus spotting if for fun, a noteworthy working is an interpretation from the bus spotter.

Yes however there can be statistical proof to genuinly define a noteworthy working
Such as the X1 ran at 0700 which goes to BHI/NEC and back 
Thats almost always got E400mmcs so i wouldnt say an e400mmc is a noteworthy working on that one trip it sorta is on the route but then again its almost always an e400mmc.

Let alone that brandings mean nothing anymore. Within the depot its seen as just an enviro 400 nothing more, nothing less.

No more information was divulged other than words Extra Resources, one would assume extra buses but you get that anyway in September summer timetable ends. Things usually get clearer near the time, yes i do appreciate certain folks will speculate till the cows come home, Heh that's life

Time to speculate and wonder what these extra resources mean.

At the end of the day it's a "Bus on bus service", vehicles are used where needed. The "noteworthy" aspect has long lost its charm. 

How can an E400 on a route allocated E400's be noteworthy in the slightest? 🤣

tombzy

I wonder why 1899 is tracking weirdly
Its on the 3A yet tracks on the 12
