4313 has been on the 529 today with a faulty front and side dot matrix display

4313 on 126 at Bearwood at 10am today, displays seem OK now.

Look at the back windows upstairs on some of the E400H's, there are small amounts

[Trident 4609]

4541 back in service now after having a new engine fitted on the 82 (11:00 departure from WN)

[Ashley]

4570, 4594, 4606, 5416 all broke down today

A merc was taken off the 33 and returned to garage 1230 approx

2069 has its front indicators stuck on

555's heating system has leaked a puddle in the offside buggy bay

Was 4584 also a defective bus today or was that parked on stafford Street at 1615 approx as a peak time extra vehicle?

[Trident 4609]

4584 was reported at PE this morning

[Ashley]

4584 was parked in the bus stop layby outside the hogs Head on stafford street at 1615 with the hazards on and engine running

It may have had a minor defect whilst on the 255, hence its visit to Pensnett, then been returned to Wolverhampton to enter service on an afternoon peak board - you would've seen it about to do so

[Westy]

598 B6 on Wolves 28 broken down in Wood End (broken wiper blade).

Local Ashmore Park 'rude boyz' if that's the  current technical term, not happy & giving poor driver some lip.

(Would have to break down in the section not used by another route!  :( )

Update : 4010, one of the other buses operating the route eventually turned up.

I gather the driver of 598 wasn't a fan of the Spectra!

Update : Just spotted 598 back in service in Wolverhampton Bs.

[Trident 4609]

Yes I think that's the term for that load of scum ;D.   

2015 is on the 126 and 2020 I think replaced a Trident on the 256

When travelling from Broad Street to New Street early this afternoon l caught B7 2015 when it turned up by chance. Do they appear in evenings/Sundays on 126s or are they just rare subs?

It has been on all day. The problem is that if a trident isn't available for the 126 then only Hybrid double deckers (But they are mainly needed on the 1/59 plus we have 3 E400H's off the road) and B7RLE's are suitable for the emmisions zone in Birmingham.

PS it is very rare to get anything other than a trident on the 126 on a Sunday

Hope this helps JoNi

any particular reason 3 E400Hs are off the road Nathan or is it just regular maintainance?

[JoNi]

Ta Nathan, thought it was a 120 when it appeared in the distance. Glanced again only to see it was going to Birmingham Markets!

[Trident 4609]

Two are in for MOT and one is poorley ATM (Presume its the one I saw the other day being towed back to garage)

As a result there have been no B5's on the 59 with 5510-14 covering on the 1 and filling in for tridents on the 126
