Two Tridents on WN3 today

4562 on the 0940 ex Castlecroft
45xx on the usual 1010 ex Castlecroft

62 and 62A shouldn't be anything other than B6LE's. The turn on Gorsebrook Road is very tight

Didn't B7's do it when it was the 25? I can't think of a tight turn on Gorsebrook Rd on the 62?

the 25 came in from stafford rd island, round the sharp left hand bend, then out at the end with evans st mini island. the 62/a will come in from stafford rd, but turn a sharp right on the bend into dunstall lane, taking 1st left into gatis street. this is tight, especially the way folk park around there. it will obviously be a sharp left turn on the way to wolves on return journey too.

Yes that turn posed a big problem for 2028 on Sunday. It just about got round the turn into Dunstall Lane

4590 is on the 25A/C today (First trident on there since the changes)

Doesn't seam that tight? surely a worse turn is on the new 25C turning from Long Knowle Lane onto Lower Prestwood Road joining the current 28 route. Now that is tight  :o

Mercs used to do the turn into Prestwood road all of the time when it was the 525

A trident on the 25A/C today

508 554 555 586 598 are the only B6LE's with transponders so only any three of these will operate the 62/62A. Three words... Could be worse :P

domino.99

if i'm correct 598 was on the 82 today so god knows what happened on the 62/A (apologies if there are only a couple of running boards not very familier with the 62)

Ashley

The 62/62A only needs 3 of those 5 Dom so 2 can go elsewhere or be on standby for a breakdown. Todays trio were 508 555 and 586 with 598 on the 82 and 554 on the 11

Nein. 598 was on 28 today, seen it couple of times - at New Invention and Wolverhampton Bus Station.

Huh? I saw 554 on 32 with 11 at the back. 508 was on the 11, iirc, seeing it in the bus station later around 17:00.

Isn't 508 a pensnett b6le?

Was. It transferred to Wolverhampton in July 2013.
