Leather seated OmniLink 1846 on the 28 today

A leather seated one was on the 46 yesterday - is this normal?

I would say they are unusual, I have never seen a leather seated one on there whilst I have been in Brum but it is usually double deck operated when I have seen it with the odd Standard seated Omnilinks

Was this the bus you were driving John or did you see it go past? :) BTW I hope you had a great first day in your new job :)

No, I saw it go the other way.

I had 7027 for 2 trips to Small Heath and back to Dyas Rd (I drove the second trip, as I wanted to watch the buddy driver do the 1st as I was unsure of the route from Heartlands - Small Heath). Really enjoyed it actually after about 20 minutes. I ended up been 15 minutes late but as long as I made it in one piece, and safe for the passengers, that don't matter

Typically it is (usually Gemini allocated) but you do get the rare single decker on sunday
I remembered when 303 was allocated to the 46 :)
Leather ones are unusual though having said that (dont they stick to 952 usually?)
@John - so you are on the 28's rota? :)

Both the 952 and 46 are decker operated on Sundays. The 952 has one of the new Enviro400s, and I think the 46 has B7TLs

I'm not on a rota yet, I am doing other drivers shifts with them on the bus so they can help with fares/route (buddy drivers they are called). this week, I am on the 28 again tomorrow, then the 33 on Tuesday, and the 94 Wed/Thu

Yes I have been this morning




Not rare anymore so I'll mention it here, another Solo on the 28. Can not remember the fleetnumber, even though I have passed it 4 times!

It's been a long day, but I really enjoyed it. Got the 33s tomorrow, so something a bit different

If you mean bus type Matt, then it will more than likely an Enviro400, but as reported yesterday, both 4301 and a Gemini were both on the 33 yesterday, so I don't mind which turns up  :)
