- 69 Walsall to Wednesfield (for a hot pork butty :D)

More than likely the same stall Nath buys his from. In fact I remember him saying he thought he saw you at one point

Entirely possible, I did spend a lot of time round his part of the world, didn't notice him though

Also managed that entire route without a single Trident, this pleases me

Well, the 59 has been mostly Spectra and B5 operated (bit of a contrast!) recently, with the exception of yesterday when there were 3 B5s, I only noticed one Spectra (4017) and the rest were Tridents. Which bus did you have on the 59?

[Kevin]

5513 to Wednesfield then changed onto 4004 (so two spectras were there) -  and yes, bit of a bizzare contrast

[nitromatt1]

Kevin, You got onto an 89 while i was on 5512. You never saw a trident along the route eh? At least 5 on the 59. I do remember saying to Matt i thought i saw you ;D

It was the Bandana that gave it away  ;D ;)

No he meant he did the whole round trip without any Tridents :)

Correct, purposefully avoided them

[Nathan4775]

Yesterday seen 1 hybrid (5514), 1 specta (4004)  on the 59 rest of the time I seen it, it was Tridents as I was hoping to get the rest of Spectra's but they seemed to be all over the shop, so decided to give it a miss

I'll try a sandwich from that place sometime. I've got no excuse not to. I've heard from a few people that they're good.

Back to buses - a Trident free day is good.

Hey, the Tridents are the best buses in the fleet ;) particularly the 09-plates at Pensnett..
