Arriva - Unusual Workings

[tphi12000]

Just seen Thurmaston-based 2346 (S346YOG) working route 33/33A/55 today in Telford. Any ideas of this transfer, as well as 2342?

these were displaced by DLAs at Thurmaston which had been on loan to wigston whilst the sapphires were refurbished.

Seen a nice looking bus on the Walsall to Cannock 2 just.

Obviously not a regular on the route!

3745 on the 891/2 in Wolverhampton (Usually Versa operated)

I thought it was 890 and 891.

You do sometimes get a SB120 or B6BLE appear on those but a Pulsar 2 is very unusual. Good spot Nathan!

No its definetley the 891/2 as i saw it on the 891 earlier in the day then saw it later on the 892.

The 891/2 usually sees Versas and the 890 just gets everything

I only said that Nathan because I have never heard of or ever seen a 892 before

890 is operated by Bridgnorth (using TF buses), running Bridgnorth <-> Wolverhampton
891 is operated by Telford Depot, running Telford <-> Wolverhampton (in the day)
892 is operated by Telford Depot, running Telford <-> Stafford Park (in the day) / Telford <-> Wolverhampton (evening)

Thanks for that. Sums it up great  :)

Yeah thanks for the info :)

Is the 890 still supposed to get Versa?

Today, the 2 buses were an SB120 and 3417, a great bus. I had a ride on each and apart from a lack of leg room, the Scania was phenomenal. On the other hand the SB120 was diabolical. Need I say more?

It depends what Telford gives Bridgnorth... It used to be Versa - but now it's just any old bus. Sometimes it's been an MPD...

What routes does Bridgnorth operate, besides the 890?

I think they used to operate the Stourbridge 142 until recently, before that moved to Wednesfield.

The only other route I can think of is the Bridgnorth to Kiddy 297.

If that goes, surely theres no point in Bridgnorth stopping open?

If there's only the 890 otherwise, surely that would move to Wednesfield, as the closest depot?
