They'll more than likely go on the best routes for start & stop, I'm unaware what routes are like this in Wolverhampton

It has already been confirmed that spare hybrids will go on the 59!

1, 59 (in wednesfild town centre), 79, 126 (Traffic on bham new road, burnt tree, wolverhampton road & city centre) 529

I can't see that all spares will be used on the 59 though as there will be some in the garage at times

I'm going from what Driver03 told me on here earlier so best ask him.

As I said earlier, I'm unaware of the stop/start routes in Wolverhampton.
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

Driver03 i thought there were only going to be 9/10 branded altogether (B5's and E400H) or was that how many E400H were going to be branded.

Surley Enviro 400H and B5LH will both appear on the 59!

Will the 59 be the only route that will ever see hybrids. Will the 529 ever get hybrids (Maybe on a sunday. )

Also looking at how many hybrids will be needed on a sunday you could operate the 1 (Less than 10 needed from what i saw) and the 59 only needs 6 buses so the 59 could still be fully hybrid operated and have spare ones
I will definitely check tomorrow when I get to work about branding ;). Also i will check allocation sheets on a sunday once all have entered service too. You will also see both types on 59s but most probably E400H, also 529s won't see hybrids unless of a breakdown etc, very rare working.

The only routes confirmed for hybrids is 1 and 59, there will be 1 hybrid in garage for the afternoon route 1 running board, all others will be on the road so as they 'pay there way' and for 'operational reasons'.

Trident 4609

I usually see the peak running board from the garage on the 1 pulling into Wolverhampton in an afternoon. Will you see the hybrids on all day running boards or just peak time running boards? Or Both?

The Hybrids on the 59 could be like the hybrids on 24 at BC. Any Spare go on Mon-Sat and fully Hybrid operated on Sundays. I hope the 59 becomes fully hybrid operated on Sundays.

I see the end of the road for the Spectras. :(

sorry to sound a bit sarcastic, but isnt all bus routes stop start work? i mean imagine the 126 stopping at every stop along the way, wouldnt that work? if not be an ideal way to charge them batteries.

It's been previously mentioned that the Spectras are to stay for the time being, while other tridents move elsewhere

There will only be 2-3 on the 59 so the spectras will be on there just a few less.

At least this will probably see the end of single deckers appearing on the 59

Well I'm sorry I don't read and remember every single post...

My theory is that BC get some of the Enviro 400 on order (60 on order) which will cascade tridents back to WN and Spectras Withdrawn later this year.
