6146 is out on the 33 today still branded for the Outer Circle

[BBS]

@Tony when will 6146 be unbranded

[The Fox 4846]

6798 has been broken down at the Wellhead Lane stop towards Birmingham and has just been picked up by RS. Surely this wins the award for shortest recovery as it only needs to go round the island and up wellhead Lane.

A bus spotter told me the 71 and 96 are going to Acocks green from 4th July does anyone know if this is true or just a rumour please

I would hazard a strong guess that it is not true. I doubt AG has the capacity for starters, I don't know exactly what the PVRs of these routes are, plus there would be a lot more dead mileage involved.

Depends on who told you really, seems we have a few jokers out there spreading fake rumours.

You are correct Stu. AG is exactly on parking capacity. I can't put another single bus in there without removing any. I really wonder where some of these rumours originate.

Aren't a few more 61** meant to move to PB? 4500 hasn't been replaced... and 4501/2 will be going soon I assume.

Why?

I allocate the fleet as required not move buses 1 for 1 . The Outer Circle needs more buses with the timetable change

Because PB seem short of Deckers? Omnilinks are re-appearing on the 7, 16 and 33 as well as the 65/67, 94's and 907's at times on the weekdays...

I thought 6143/4/5 would come in exchange for 4500/1/2... considering 6144 has been debranded.

I don't think they've used a single omnilink on the 94 in the last week actually, which is good. So they make irregular appearances, only when there is a shortage of avaialble buses I guess.
The last one I can remember on there is 1811 on Tuesday 15th June, 11 days ago.

Hence why I said 'at times'. But they've pretty much been on the 7 and 16 lots this last week with a few having the odd day on the 33... as well as one going onto the 65/67...

PB are not short of deckers. They have the number they require for PVR plus the required number of spares. AG need unbranded Euro 6 doubles too for odd journies on the 4

Yes the 4 has been very late today not showing up and when the bus came it was full. 11 brandeds only a few of them the rest were omni links and E200mmc which were completly full and had to wait and wait for a available bus to go on. Its just annoying

The 4 had more 61** than Single Deckers on today. The bus I caught (6130) was on time and arrived in the City a few minutes early... I'm not sure what the 4A had on it, but there was more Deckers than Singles on the 4 today...

Think you're exaggerating a little, the main reason for the traffic was the installation of traffic lights at the Battery Way junction but those are all in operation now so no temporary lights are there, the only place there was a slight build up of traffic was joining the Stratford Road which was fairly busy but this could of been for the Eid shoppers, as well as an Pedestrian V Car further up by Formans Road which was having an affect on the 6 as it was closed for most of the day, the 4's seemed completely fine though...
