Thats not really unusual now. It happens fairly often.

Oh the irony. What about all the rubbish you post elsewhere?

I don't know what you are on about? What rubbish?
I accept there have been a few silly things I have posted in the past, for example I accept it was silly to post 6704s working  in 2 threads the other day. But when you say "all the rubbish" suggesting lots I don't know what you are going on about.
From seeing the 97 everyday, from what i've seen they aren't unusual and with BC having lots of spare B7RLE there are more on the decker routes now, i'm just stating what i've seen.
I don't want an argument and it seems to me that is what your after from posting stuff like your post above. I don't see what this has to do with my earlier post either.

Not seen any E400 on the 60 today (didn't see any on there between about 11:00 and 12:15)?
It appears to be mostly 46XX trident, a 444X Trident and a platinum E400 MMC 6851(?).
Quite strange not to have any E400 on the 60.

Again today its either completely, or mostly Trident operated.
Where are the E400?

I've also noticed this myself but to my knowledge, Tridents are the allocated type for the route.

Tridents were the booked type up until 2015, then it changed to booked E400 in 2015.
Since then and up until the service changes at the start of June it was mostly E400 with the odd Trident. Since the service changes its gone back to being mostly, or completely Trident operated and the E400 are no longer on the 60. @GeminiFan1991 .

There are significantly more E400s on the 63 recently, with Tridents often in a minority from my observations.

Yes I noticed that yesterday. Only saw a few Tridents on the 63 yesterday afternoon in Northfield

You do still get E400s on the 60, just not as many as there were before. Don't forget, from the June changes it has seen a frequency increase so requires more buses. Just so happens the extra buses being used are Tridents.

Much less than before though and some days none are on the 60 at all. How much did the PVR increase by?
It appears to have become mostly Tridents, whilst the 63 appears to have become mostly E400.

I'm guessing that's where all the e400s that were used for the 29 disappeared to.

4945 was on the 29 yesterday. ;)

Well accidents can happen I guess.

4630 - 29

@MasterPlan the 29 doesn't have a fixed allocation, so nothing is really noteworthy on there.

The 29 does have a fixed allocation, all boards are nominally allocated B7RLEs

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this change, presumably this occured after 4th June then?
