E stands for Exception to the route

[Tony]

Short journey.
Meaning it's terminating earlier than scheduled somewhere on the route.

It originated as meaning exception not just short

A prime example of this is PB46 - which has an 'E' blind beyond One Stop to Perry Barr Bus Garage.

Another example is the 12A, becomes the 12E on a night and only does Birmingham to Oldbury. Operated by WB.

 E400 MMC are usual @mrboshell
That tends to be where the unbranded Crimson ones are everyday as well as on the 5/73.
6702 was also on there this morning, which also seems to be becomming more common now, quite a few seem to have been on there recently.

Uninsured van driver did £20,000 worth of damage to it on the 72

73's being diverted away from Horell road this morning. I could not see why when travelling on the route but the driver suggested an accident was the cause.

I travelled on 734 on the A12 this morning and it seemed strange to go on a NXWM vehicle with a non standard interior. I don't think there have been any second hand vehicles in the fleet of NXWM or any of its predecessors since the last DMS's were withdrawn in 1986.

The second hand Leyland Nationals superceded the DMSs, I think 1745 was the last, ex Ribble running until 1997

Weren't there also newer Daf Optares single deckers acquired with Yourbus that ultimately could be classed as second hand on takeover by WMT? Maybe other vehicle types too.

[Gareth]

Was Walsall 101 (the bus that was usually on the 999 service) secondhand or did it arrive new from a dealer?

Just seen an e200mmc on the 1 turn left from Church Road and go down Edgebaston Park Road. Diversion?
