You do occasionally get Spectras on the 256/7

Spectras have been appearing alot on the 529,255,256/7 recently

Spectras have been appearing alot on the 529,255,256/7 recently

Have not seen one on the 255 for a while. Would love to do the full 255 on one

I am rather fond of the Spectra's, that comes from the days of them on the 139. I used to wait for one for the trip from Merry Hill back into Birmingham, there was at least one on there most days! Will hate it when they're withdrawn  :'(

Well the 256/7 are double deck routes and Spectras are double deckers!

Valid, but by that logic Hybrids on the 255 in that sense is not unusual

I wish theyd put the odd Spectra on WN3 like back in the 543 days

5510 - 126 (I think. Was a hybrid)

I know I just noticed it. Surprised Tony hasn't closed and shifted this to Dead Topics already.

Cheers Ash.

Same. With the amount of B7RLE's that appear on the 11/32/33/59 you would think spectras would occasionally see service on the 2,3,4 etc. Last decker to appear on the 3 was infact 5514 on the 3 the other night

[Ashley 4569]

What night was that?

[Trident 4609]

What night was that?

forgot exactly (Best look back through the thread) but was reported by Driver03 as on the Stafford Rd at 22:15 and replaced 2021 on there. 5514 had been on the 59 only a few hours beforehand

Ahh tuesday night, i was on the 22:00 529 off walsall and didnt run for the 3 because we arrived in the bus station at 22:29 and there was a number 2 inches from me which got me close enough to home

Not as strange as riding one in Wombourne/Kingswinford ;)

[Trident 4609]

Well 5510 did already make it to kingswinford on a 256E journey ;)
