What route was 4812 on today (yes it was in Sutton)? Saw it this morning in Sutton sitting NIS while getting off the 904E (874) (the one that is always an Omnilink and almost always has same driver) that is due in Sutton at 0810.
I am I right in saying it was the 115/914?

Thanks.

I saw 4812 on the 838 this afternoon

And 4806 was in Sutton today. Working the 914. Seen it this morning around 0810 (getting off the same 904E as yesterday, which should have come after 4917 on the 902, but 4917 came after the 904E) and this afternoon.

That was me on 4917. Plus I had 4806 this afternoon too!

Tried to photo 4806 around an hour ago.

Was it you driving 4923 on Friday? Can only give timings I got on at about 1539 in Lower Parade.

Yes that would have been me

Crimson made it onto the 952, 4799 left town 18:20

Sorry apparently John already mentioned it

@nxwmbusfan1999

4249 is a West Brom Bus, which is on the 5 today. ALX400s on the 907 are not unusual. The 907 is a route that gets any type of decker

Well I was at the corner at lower parade and saw a Gemini at around 1525.

I also saw an e400 on the Birmingham rd with passengers today and yesterday morning but 115 on display turning out of wylde green rd. Not sure why.

Roadworks on Penns Lane probably caused that.

Ah right, thanks. Was a bit confused as I have not seen it when on the 902 in the afternoon, just in the morning.

There was a cheeky rat-run suitable for cars through back-streets (I know, as I used it!), but it would not have been suitable for a bus!

4697 is on the 65 board 65/02, caught it on me way home from work, haven't seen it out for a while but lovely to hear the engine, reminds me of the bendis

@BusFan

4781 was on the 907 in the day (907/05), and it swops to the 904 around 4.30pm for the night. The late night buses interwork routes. Some 907s do 914 trips, and vice versa. So you do see a mix on the late nights

Thanks ! Im unfamiliar with running boards (As to which routes go off and do what) although I get the basic idea of them. I just thought it was a noteworthy working !
