1882 on the 70 is pretty rare,
spectras on the 529 most days

All the rest very good Nathan

I've noticed more Spectras appearing alot on the 529 over the past few weeks. 1679 was on the 28 this afternoon btw

1892 on the 34/38 I think it was a replacement for 1477.
There were at least 2 b7rle on the 301 today and 1882 usually appears on the 311/313.

Used to love it when WA operated the 529 :) Used to operate with a lot more variety like Gemini's,Tridents,E400's,B7RLE's,B6's etc but WN usually stick with the branded tridents.


I noticed how good this year WN managed to keep Unusual Workings to a minimal during V festival. Good Work WN ;)

In the end why did WA give the 529 to WN in the Walsall Review

To make room for the 4 (404/A back then) so 20 omnilinks moved in and the 405/406/529 moved out to make space. Also WN needed to make up for the 79 being curtailed at West Bromwich so gaining the 529 helped them out.

[Sh4318]

B7RLE on the 53/289
4898 on the 22

I've seen quite a few since they moved the terminus to Corporation Street (I work very close to there so pretty much see every bus that goes down Corporation St. for hours a day) :P it's definitely not that common but it's not exceedingly rare
