Unusual workings-May 2013

[Trident 4609]

Walsall B6s are in Wolverhampton bus station on a daily basis on the 69

And the 39 and sometimes the 40 :) I wouldn't say daily though. The 39 usually has B10L, The 69 is usually 2-3 B7RLE and a couple of B10L. B6's on the 69 usually appear on saturdays.

Winston, 4135, 4310-12 are staying at WN it seems.

Possibly? Due to the 6 x Mercs going in to the training fleet instead?

In : 21 x Hybrids

Out (either withdrawal/transferred):

Excels - 684, 706 & 708 (3)
Mercs 1543, 1545, 1546 & 1549, 1687-1692 (10)
Tridents - 4305-9, 4384/5 (7)

So that is 21 in, 20 out (to date) plus the WN's Pvr should have now reduced by two following the withdrawal of the X1, so I make it WN still has 3 extra buses.

I assume YW will still need another Trident to allow 4122 to be released to Dundee

Winston, do you mean 708? 711 is/was still in service as of Saturday

Dare I mention that bus just that has just transferred to YW to release 4122?

[Trident 4609]

708 has been withdrawn and 687 or 711 or both could be withdrawn now 662 is here.

You can dare & not neccessarily

[Trident 4609]

Well as i said 687/711 may be withdrawn when 586 is tranferred to WN

[Ashley 4569]

687 was doing 27s today i think, have WN got 662?

[JackC]

Unbranded B5LH on the 79 this afternoon, seen in Wednesbury.

[Martin]

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

Camp out at your nearest stop until it arrives ;D

[wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)]

That means my theory of 586/662 transferring to WN were right :)

No doubt the final 2 Excels (687 and 711) are now withdrawn.

687 was out on the 27 all day yesterday Wednesday 22/5, possibly last NXWM Excel working? Where was the big farewell party!! :P
