Route Branded Buses off Route

[Mike K]

99 branded 807 seen on the 24 this afternoon. Saw it at Harborne Baths at 16.17 heading for Woodgate Valley.

There are some weird BC workings at the moment. B7RLEs and E200s on the 22, 23 and 24, B7RLEs on the 14, 900 branded E400s just about everywhere. Only the Hybrids that never stray (has a garage ever been this meticulous in keeping a bus type to its designated routes?)

PB's Bendis?

Ok fair enough but they're a slightly different proposition in terms of which routes they could practically be used on, type training of drivers etc.

Hybrids need type training as well (especially for the B5!)

Indeed Matt, as do all vehicle types but I'd hazard a guess that type training on an articulated bendi amounts to more than just a few minutes in the garage - driving one of those must be a while new ball game so to speak.

When I had my training I had to do a minimum of 4 hours, I believe that may have increased now

804 - 98

[Nathan4775]

Sutton lines branded - Private CG board

Possibly 4922 not 100% on the 907A, if not 4922 then a Branded 902/4/5 was on there

[Rob H]

1810 (55) > 17

[John]

4897 (900) on 59 again

[Nathan4775]

4468 (97) - spent a day on the 59. Has the 59 had every branded bus at BC ? Or is it just missing the 99 ?

I don't think any E200 has been on the 59, not reported on here anyway

Come to think of it, has a 14 branded trident done a 59 yet ?

No idea, there are only 3 left now, but one might have in the past.

I know 900 branded Enviro400s appear on the 59, but has a 957 branded one appeared on there?

I think one may have at some point ?, 900 branded seem to be on the 59 a bit, would like to see a 99 branded on the 59 though
