Unusual Workings July 2013

[Stuharris 6360]

I've noticed  B7RLE's are becoming more usual on the X96 and also WN's 81 and 82

Think that now PE have spare Enviros, they seem to try and make the 141 100% DD, so it throws up 1 or 2 spare B7RLE and probably the X96 is the best to use them.

Same with WN i suppose, now they can't use DDs on the 81, they have to use Mercs or B7RLEs, they could have used B6s, but then you have that huge hill on Lodge Farm.

Well B6's do put in appearances a fair bit ;)

Oh right Nathan  ;)

Would bendy-buses be feasible for the 82??

Bendy buses were a passing fad

Nathan, Mercs on WB40 are still near enough a daily thing

Theres a B7RLE on WN1 tonight

Thanks for the info Ashley :) Just wondered as i saw 1702 today and the other 3 i saw were all E200's

[uniquicity]

Daily would be slightly too frequent IMO. I would say 2-3 Mercs per week and 2-3 B6LEs on the 40.

824 - 140

Another route to add to the last along with the 241.

Interestingly i saw 4299 on the 241 at Halesowen this morning. Do the WB journeys operate during the school holidays?

WB have certainly operated this running board in school holidays in the past.

Well it's 100% on the 140 now! It's just passed me for the second time down broad street!

What's the allocation for the 24 of an evening cz I've just seen two B7RLE's within two minutes??

Mainly Trident, with a few Hybrids and a few rare workings

[JB93]

Anything unusual on the Washwood Heath corridor tonight? My house is right next to Nechells Parkway and I just heard what sounded like an Enviro400.

The two late night X96's are now B7 RLE operated.
