When the 99 is withdrawn next month will BC get another route?
Will WB operate the 120A and PN get the 121 and extended 244?
Will all of 801 - 809 transfer to PN?

[Dom]

Will WB operate the 120A and PN get the 121 and extended 244?

Yes,the 120A will be WB and the 120 will be PN.

Was there a b7rle on 99 today, as have heard it cut quite a few bits out of route?

There was a B7RLE on there today, possibly 2127 or 2128 - can't quite remember, but it's the second day running that there's been one on there.

Presumably E200s off the road again? They'll be keeping PN's engineers busy soon.

I think one regularly does a peak working of the 99. Which parts of the route does it miss out?

They are only ever on the 99 if there isn't an E200 available, no booked workings because they have to miss Wesh House Farm Road out

Ah right, cheers. Have spotted one a few times this last week which clears that up. Thanks

Wisely Way/Rilstone Road is missed out.

I was just looking at the timetable for the 99 and I saw that the early Sunday morning shorts between the QE and city terminate at St Martins Queensway. Does this mean it comes out of the tunnel, pulls a U turn then goes straight back into the tunnel or does it go round city and that is just a timetable error?

Probably does a U turn on Moor Street were the 50 and 35 turn around.

Yeah thats what I'm thinking, it'd have to display 99E St Martins Queensway wouldn't it?

[2206]

Yes either 99E City Centre, St Martins Queensway, or City Centre, Smallbrook Queensway.

[AndrewLee]

Yes either 99E City Centre, St Martins Queensway, or City Centre, Smallbrook Queensway.

On the blinds I think it's 99E New Street Station. Yes, turns round at Moor st but does not make the stop there.

Seen one quite a lot this week, ~07:40 on Priory Queensway

the 45 & 47 route need updating because they are always late sometimes and I think something should be done about it at some point. yet they are every 6mins they are still rather late and eventually 2 go missing off the timetable or a few don't bother showing up at all causing problems for the general public.
