Route Branded Buses off Route

6120 (11A/11C) > 5/73

Seen while out on my exercise

AG is only using MMCs, and some of the unbranded ones are parked up so most routes will be run by 11 branded vehicles

i really don't see why everyone should mention which branded buses are off route because of the pandemic loads of buses are off road for 3 months meaning branded buses will have to come off route I think @Tony should lock this topic until all buses are back to normal

Surely not 1875? If that's the only 28 branded bus on the road and 28 seems to have a PVR of 5 or 6 at present from looking at the timetable?
Or are there other reasons for this being off route?

With 106 buses parked up not moving in Perry Barr garage it means that only a few can be got out at anyone time. If you have 10 lines of buses and 7 are not going anywhere the allocator only has a choice of 3 buses, not 10

so at the moment it's not worth noting what buses are off route really if loads of buses are parked up

I was unaware that is how it worked, so it does make sense now you have explained it.
In which case I won't post anymore for the time being since it looks like they are going to be common now.
