I don't know if this is the right thread, but when I was in Wolverhampton bus station this afternoon a 63 reg Wright Gemini 3 came in and waited for a few minutes. I think it was an early B5TL. It was in white, but with More branding, not in service. Anyone know what it was doing?

[domino.99]

@Nathan  yes it was 851.

[the trainbasher]

@Stevo probably heading to GKN

@Nathan yeah as @Dom said it was 851

As is 4578. Hybrids off the road again it appears. Very little on the 59 which is odd during school holidays.

@Dom @the trainbasher so 851 has gone from 54/154 to the 11 to the 81! So it has got about abit. From Stafford/Hednesford to Merry Hill!

In response to an earlier comment comment. I assume the dispute about wi-fi has been resolved and 849-852 are now equipped?

If there are Hybrids off the road again then reliability of those E400Hs is pretty poor. The B5LH certainly seems to be the more favoured Hybrid version now, including with Stagecoach now it's available with the E400 MMC body.

Not sure if it is back but 5412 is one that is quite unreliable. Seen it been towed back several times within the past few weeks.

842 on 154 isn't unusual as it is on a midday starting RB, so all the available branded E200's are already out, and anyway it's an E200 on a E200 route, a bit of vinyl doesn't make a difference

I wonder who's been f***ing about with 2059's displays? When I was re-creating WN's destinations mid-July they were fine and no full route destinations were scrolling.

[mranon]

i wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that it has had a front end repair after a tree hit it few weeks back. the display looks brighter so may have been replaced
