[John]

WA's 4134 is on Loan to PL today. Seen on the 529 this afternoon.

Here it is:

I've noticed the typeface of the '529' is different (Like how it was displayed at WA with the bigger numbers spaced out) so i presume WA still 529 programmed into their displays.

@Nathan

Do WA buses still have the 529 on there electronic blinds?

I presume so. If you look at the typeface of '529' on all WN tridents its squashed up like this:

WN were probably short of double deckers (There have been Trident/Spectra's on the 1 and Single Deckers on the 59/126/529 in recent days) so 4134 was drafted in and put on the 529 (As it is already programmed into WA's displays)

Thanks @Nathan

Are we sure these are loans?

No but I put them here until we know for definite. To me, they don't seem like transfers as they have not been transferred in sequence order (2115 and 2119 are not at the end of the Acocks Green batch of B7RLEs) like other transfers of late

Interesting. With the changes to the 29 I did think there would be a couple more single decks move to Central to cover the increased PVR but only 2123 moved over. But as John says they are out of sequence for transfers so may just be temporary cover. Cover required for 2147 which was reported to have received accident damage on the 58?

7028 went along Church Rd, Yardley this evening n.i.s., with a driver rather than mechanic driving. Buses doing this are usually running back to AG off the 71. Loan or transfer?

It sounds as though some/all of the remaining NX Dundee Omnilinks (7028-7033) could be moving from PB-AG, then releasing further AG B7RLE to BC. Only problem is, what is releasing the Omnilinks at PB? @John

I was thinking they may have gone with the introduction of the summer timetables

I will keep an eye out if we receive anything to replace them
