Unusual workings-May 2013

[Trident 4609]

5412 did the 19.00 departure from West Brom. Don't know if this board stays out all night

Do you mean 5512? 5412 is a E400H and is on the 1 this evening.

[uniquicity]

Yeah. 5512. I can never remember the fleetnumbers of the hybrids

[Trident 4609]

I'm never about when there's a hybrid on the 79 :(

5512

I've got a pic for you all though!

Wondered why there was only one hybrid on the 59 today which was 5514. It should actually be 18 hybrids on the 1 (A 19th in the garage for an afternoon peak board) and two unbranded B5's on the 59.

Ill only start taking notice of the hybrids when they get proper engines and also when that irritating woman stops repeating herself every few seconds :D sorry

But as it's Wolverhampton... it never is ;)

What about maintainance, being new the buses probably require very little, but i can see it becoming 19 Hybrids on the 1 and 2 at garage for maintainance.

Plus the fact there appear to have been a few teething problems with some of the E400Hs, presumably if they are one or two short the 1 would get priority over the 59.

1694 worked a rare 775 school service this morning, always a double decker of some sort (WB)

Is 502 on the 53 unusual?

It normally Mercs on the 53, but you tend to get the odd B6 from time to time.

[Trident 4609]

Well most days last week the 59 had 3 hybrids and the 1 had a spectra/trident on it.

Most of the time the two spare hybrids DO go onto the 59. From what a few drivers have told me they put them on the 59 because they don't want them to sit around in the garage so because the route is so frequent if a bus breaks down on the 1, they can take it off the 59.

Everytime i see it its a merc with the odd B7RLE so B6's i guess are unusual.

[Ashley 4569]

Anybody know where and if the excels am out today?

[Trident 4609]

I think 711 has been withdrawn now 662 is in service at WN but 687 should be on the 28 if you want to catch it.
