[Trident 4609]

Just passed Spectra 4006 on the Black Country Spine Road at Great Bridge!

4006 was on the 79 today

Saw it in Wolverhampton didn't we?

[The Real 4778]

Dundonian exile 7033 on the 907 this evening.

4826 on 244 & 276 this evening. (typically the day I don't do the 9pm 244 >:()

5511 and 5513 on consecutive running boards on the 126 this evening.

4196 seems to have gone off the 9 now but 4200 is on the same all night board that 824 had last night.

Enviro200 on the 49 tonight - only usually see B6s in the evening?

5513 was already on the 126 and 5511 i believe came off the 59
E200's on the evening 49 are usual-Interwork with the 47/A

Nope that's Sundays. B6s usually come off the 47/A onto the 49 on weekday evenings

[Trident 4609]

Oh sorry my mistake thanks Matt :) Still not highly unusual really

[Sh4318]

I think a few E200s can sneak onto the 47/A, don't quote me on that

That's fine, to be honest it's borderline unusual (like B7s on weekday 27, Tridents on 25, etc)

[Trident 4609]

I think a few E200s can sneak onto the 47/A, don't quote me on that

I thought the E200's were originally for the 47/A?

They were, but when they arrived they appeared mainly on the 45/46, and the majority of 4* services, then when 810 arrived they moved onto the 40 & 46 permanently. 47/A used to get Darts but get B6LEs these days. The 45/6, 47/A, 49 & I think 289 get E200s on Sundays

[Ashley 4569]

I got 4196 on the 9 at Bearwood just after 20:00, arrived into stourbridge around 20:40

4740 was on YW2 and another YW either on the 35 or 49, spotted it on Pool Farm estate earlier, i didnt see any NX dennis Trident action on the 50 though

B7RLE's now operate evening 256, its news to me before somebody pipes up, The 20:15 off wolves (2069 tonight) comes off daytime WN4, dont know about the other one, ruined the journey

There were also two geminis in convoy on the 37 earlier, 4654 and 4658 i think

I did find 4314, out of service going through Druids Heath just after 7pm, gutted

Nathan, west broms e200s were initially intended for the 45 46 and 47/a if i remember but the 45 and 47/a are back to the better stuff

[Trident 4609]

Tbh i've seen more B6's on the 49 on a sunday thsn E200's

Geminis are common on the 37 Ashley

E200s do appear on these routes (47/A & 49) regularly on Sundays, whether that's with B6s I'm unsure

[Trident 4609]

News to me aswell Ashley. Last time i checked last week it wad still tridents off the daytime board
