Perry Barr Garage

Most of the time it was just 2 Omnilinks of which it was fine with. Though the Omnilinks were put on the quieter boards. If PB have enough Omnilinks then I see no excuse of why they chuck Deckers on the 52 on Saturdays, unless there's more spare Deckers sitting in the garage, but Saturdays carry less. When riding 4289 last Saturday, it was carrying no more than 7 people. So I'm not sure why PB can't put Deckers on it during the week days. A stumpy would cope with this!

because you don't know the logistics of running a bus garage or company

Most people that normally head from a half empty single deck to a half empty double deck are the people those remaining on the single deck are glad they did

I like how you've worded that Tony. You've insulted the riff raff, smoothly haha

[Dom]

They're not like that 'most of the time' Dom was surveying them today, I bet they never counted more than 43 on a bus. Our commercial department have the actual figures, not what someone happens to see once or twice when the 51 happens to be screwed

Actually I did, around 8am, can’t remeber precisely the time, 764 came through. Fully seated, 28 on an SWB E200, with minimum 10-15 standing.

Also just a side note we were there from 6:50, so all through the morning peak.

No I don't. Platinums on the 7, stumpys on the 52/A. What's next? An E200 on the 94? That would be hilarious.

I think double decks are needed for school boards Monday Friday that's probably why there's more single deck use during the week then on Saturday.

764 - 52/A (this ones just come off the staff bus).

Back in 1996/7 the 94 saw a couple of very rare workings by MCW Metrorider. 23 seats! That was afternoon peak too.

@ChrisMcCarthy Omnicitys are common on the 7.

@ChrisMcCarthy Omnicitys are common on the 7.

Not according to the spreadsheet.

[Jack]

The Omnicitys don't have an allocated route anymore so they are common on most  standard Decker routes. Bar the 33, 94 and 101.

The Omnicitys don't have an allocated route anymore so they are common on standard Decker routes.

Isn't the 907 allocated them?

[Jack]

Isn't the 907 allocated them?

They're not common on all standard decker routes. The 94 never gets them, the 94 is just Gemini and a few B7TL ALX400 and E400 plus Platinums on Sundays.

I said they don't have an allocated route, meaning they go on a lot of PB's Decker routes. The 907 is every Decker.
