Have seen a 13 plate Enviro 400 operating on the 50 route this evening (4908).   Is YW getting an unbranded batch of 49XX Enviro 400's in order to release their 47XX vehicles for overhaul, refurb and possible transfer to BC to upgrade the Pershore Road routes (as suggested elsewhere on the forum)?

No infact it appears that BC have gained some running boards on the 50

LS, what are rota lines?

[Trident 4609]

Sorry LS, Might have worded it wrong. Could you possibly explain a whole rota line for me please?

What's caused the vehicle shortage at Yardley Wood?  Buses going for refurb, or vehicles such as Presidents going without replacement in the wings.   (BC of course used to operate the 50 up until a few years ago.)

Rota lines are a whole set of week duties on a rota. (Sunday to Saturday, say line 54 or whatever.) Its just a weeks worth of duties, extracted from a rota.

Are BC just operating on the 50 Mon-Fri?

There is no vehicle shortage at YW, if there was they would have a couple of vehicles transferred in!

What there is is an even worse driver shortage than at BC!

I have been on the 97s today, having a day off tomorrow then having a play on a few more different routes next week;
61/63 on Saturday
60 on Sunday
90 on Monday
Then back on the 14 for a couple of days.

I might even see about doing a couple of day offs at YW to refresh myself on some of their routes. The 6 is the only one I have driven in the last 15 years. The 2, 3, 6, 18 & 49 & 50 are easy enough.

Maybe you should do a 27, I don't understand the way that goes round Northfield. Why can you catch the same service on both sides of the road? How many loops does it do around Scumfield?
