Do we have any idea what's happening with 4781?

[CL]

4779 on the 101; been a while since I saw that!

Not posting this in the Noteworthy thread, because it's happened every day for a week we might as well take it to be a thing now....

764 is on the 52/52A again today, 08:00 city centre

That will also answer peoples queries about 731. If there is an E200 on the 52 it means all 5 are fit for use, so 731 will be out

Will 731 always be found on the CG and does it do the 907A as well?

I think it has only done the 907A once, It does do the Wythall contract occasionally as well though

Thanks for the info, most appreciated.

1869 (I think), passed me in B'ham City Centre on the Priory Queensway earlier today, at about 09:50, I was quite surprised to see a 28 Branded bus in the City Centre.
It's on the 66, I think.

Yes there is one on the 66. Passed it earlier this morning

Whenever they stray off the 28, you are most likely to see them on the 52/A.

Yes it's 1869, I saw it again later on.

Somewhat reliable Omnilinks, PB could do with a few more, to get the 46 and 52/A full SD. The 46 had goodness knows how many Deckers on it the other day!

Yes the reliable Omnilinks, and they are as proved by Bordesley who have the fewest spare buses of any garage and the oldest average age, but can still regularly loan a spare bus to Perry Barr. Just because you see other buses on Omnilink routes doesn't mean there's a problem with them.

For example this morning with the E200. If Perry Barr have the correct number of buses for the peak boards then the fifth E200 will appear somewhere. Far better it is on an Omnilink running board, and the Omnilnk substituting for a decker, than putting the E200 on a heavily loaded board

4479 is on the 33, with 4226 having a day on the 907.

4692 came out later on to replace a faulty Omnilink on the 52, so I don't see why PB are mixing things up. The 907 seems to have gone to Gemini's the last few days, 4226 was the odd one out today. It felt so weird riding 4226 on the 907 again after 4 years!
