Unusual Workings - April 2013

[Sh4318]

I think 1431 was out all day on the 4 so at some point would have worked the 4H and 4M will blank destination blinds though as it doesn't have Blackheath, Halesowen and I'm guessing it wouldn't have Merry Hill either.

The 4 generally only see's b7rle's or omnilinks anything else is very rare and with a PVR of 21 you would think it would see other types of vehicles straying onto it.

Is there any reason a decker couldn't be put on the 4? Low bridge? Because seeing a Trident, Gemini or Enviro400 on there would be fantastic.

Double deckers have appeared on the 4 (404), when it was operated by WB, the reason you don't see any deckers on the 4 may have something to do with the route taken to get Walsall bus garage from Walsall, Bradford Place, I think, as you said, there might be a low bridge on the way

Don't know about in service but passing PB depot this morning I saw a solo with 28 on the front and I believe it was a leather seated omnilink bound for the 16, can anyone confirm them?

Bit of a crap excuse really, surely if you can trust drivers to remember the entire route then you can trust them to remember a slightly different route to get back to the depot

Are there any services that use Bradford Place that require double deckers?

The drivers returning the buses back on the 4 to the garage turn right at the fullbrook via the broadway past the arboretum then via the 301 to the garage from bradford place they go round the back of walsall by asda then straight down to the arboretum then via the 301 route so no low bridges so cant be the reason but at every 6 minutes even the odd b6le would be able to cope
