Unusual Workings - April 2013

[Trident 4609]

Thats exactly what i was thinking! So why is Andrew posting this in the UW thread ???

[driver]

there is a 141 running board first thing in the morning booking on at 05:00 and it returns at 10:35 at garage. and that bus then gets used on a peak afternoon running board 140 at 14:20. west brom cover the morning 140 board.

Does the WB working do a 241 board aswell. Nitromatt will know :D

there are no 241 running boards they are interworked with the 140s. all the boards are just 140s with 241s added in.

20?? or 21?? on the 24

If it's at peak time then it is not unusual. During peak times 24 uses anything even branded buses, E200's appeared numerous time.

There's one evening peak board in partcular on the 24 that uses just about any vehicle. It passes Harborne baths towards city at around 5.50. Typically a B7RLE or E200 of late.

B7's on BC59 are common I thought. One on the 900E a good spotm

Tuesday 30th

544 - 246
2 E200s and 2 or 3 Gems on WB5
4283 and 4301 - 904
485X I 907
4493 and another gem I think on the 71A

I don't think there were any B7 ALX on the 907 yesterday which is unusual in itself

There was only 1 on the 907 on Monday (4252), the rest were Gemini's. I did find it unusual that only 1 was on there. I think the ALX400s stick to the 94, 101, 65 and 7. These routes do get Gemini's alongside also. The 16 is usually 50/50 Gemini and ALX400.
