Route 1 branded E400H 5416 on WN 59

I'm sure they must have a Trident sitting in the garage, or even an unbranded B5LH?

Well it is the last bus out (Board 59/06) and on the 59 today are

2 tridents (4607 and 4553)
3 B5's (5510/12/13)
1 E400H which is 5416

4607 is the first bus out today however the first journey is usually a hybrid
5512 is on the second board 59/02 and thats usually a trident

So it seems the 1st and 2nd board allocations have swapped

What's the Sunday PVR of the 1?

Trident 4609

Less than 10. Thats why i think not all of the E400H should be branded because how many appear off route.

5413 is currently on the 59. Wasn't on early this afternoon and i think its replaced 5510.

So, in theory, the 1 could be fully hybrid, with a branded bus in the garage, and 5 unbranded hybrids and a refurbished Trident on the 59.

It could be, but as it's Wolverhampton garage, it never will be! I'm not complaining though

This seems to be a regular sight now, E200's on the Great Park routes; since BC's lost 2122 & 2123.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Yep, as I explained in the other thread, Omnilinks off the 37 usually go onto the evening 31A journeys, so its not uncommon to find a 37 branded Omnilink on the 31A in the evening.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Well now I know, thanks. I have never been in that neck of the woods so late at night before so it looked strange to me!
