Unusual Workings - April 2013

[Trident 4609]

Other than Bordesley which can never get unusual workings (only one type of bus!), Pensnett has to be the most boring garage for unusual workings! Either that or BC.

For example I have never seen a Merc or B6 on the 9 except when a WB Merc appeared on Boxing Day. They hardly ever put B7RLEs on these days either!

Well really Routes like the 1 (WN), 9 and 59(WN) Shouldn't have Single deckers on there although i do like it when they put other vehicle types on the 59 alongside usual tridents and spectras.

Yes I know they shouldn't be on there but from an enthusiast's point of view it's more interesting when one does go on

Just a quick question for everyone, Which garage would you say has the most, best and most unusual workings and which garages have the least and boring (Not that unusual workings).

Obviously BY don't have any unusual workings as they only have Omnilinks.

Coventry can be included aswell :)

I would say WA is a good one for good unusual Workings and so can WN garage. What are PE and WB like for unusual Workings?

PE are quite difficult for unusual workings as a lot of their routes can be operated by anything they have (Enviro 400, Enviro 200, B6, B7RLE, Merc), the one i am yet to see is an Enviro 200 on the 9.

BC are the same-you've either got tridents on double deck routes or you've got b7rles on single deck routes occasionally appearing on double deck routes with the enviro 200's mostly on the 99 but popping onto double or single deck routes. The hybrids tend to stick on the 22/23/24 where they wont get damaged. Must say BC seemed a bit more interesting when we more variety and a mix of spectras, zf and voith tridents plus presidents and alx 400 bodied B7tls. On the bristol road you could never predict what would turn up which was good from an enthusiasts point of view but i fully appreciate the need to standardise types-makes a lot of sense. I think if you want unusual workings then you have to look for diamond where anything can appear anywhere really.

The 139 on a Spectra was the business back in the day. I used to wait for one to come along for the hour trip back into Town.

WB's not great for rare workings at the minute to be honest. E200s seem to go on most 4* routes, 74/75, 82/87 are solid deckers, you may get the odd double decker on the 83/89, 40, 45 or 48, but WB's not that good for rares, in my opinion

So which garages are good for Rare/unusual workings?

YW & WA, in my experience

[nitromatt1]

I think WN and WA are the best for unusual workings because they have the highest number of different vehicle types and also lots of route branded vehicles (which of course are placed on the wrong route occasionally)
