2103 was on the 140/241 today (Weds 27th)

Oh no, I missed it :(

Have the destinations been programmed in yet?

Showing 241 when I saw it.

Thanks! Sorry to press, but do you know which board it was on? :)

Looking at the timetable against the time and place I saw it, I think I
t was on the 15:35 from Halesowen. Don't know anything about board numbers though.

Don't worry, that's what I meant, where you saw it and when. Thanks for that.

On my journeys to and from work today, I was watching out for any 'new' Omnilinks on the 37, apart from a couple of B7RLEs (2100 and 2102) and a few Geminis this evening, all the Omnilinks I observed were branded ones. I'll keep an eye out the next few days!

Interesting that the B7RLEs you saw on the 37 were 2100 and 2102, that may well be the last time you see those two on the 37

With 2099-2103 moving to PE, does that mean more Omnilinks will start appearing on the 71/72 or will there still be enough B7RLEs for those routes?

Well a few B7RLE's do appear on the 37 atm so maybe they could shift those onto the 71/2 with the 37 kept fully Omnilink operated

Or you might see more Omnlinks on the 71/2 if some transfer from PB like it was said somewhere on the forum

Saw why they prefer having the single deckers on the 37 the other week; had a Gemini on it and someone was just lighting a fag at the back of the upper deck...

That's nothing, a few weeks ago, there was a fella casually puffing away on a cigarette on the back seat of an Omnilink, probably unaware that he was clearly visible on the CCTV screen.
