Matt, Didn't see your post. Saw it just after you did while aboard 4561 on the 126

[nitromatt1]

x51 branded gemini heading down Beacon road in Pheasey earlier. didn't get bus number, guessing it was on the 997.

Were you driving the 5 at the time by any chance? :)

[lynx1103]

Some X51 boards have 997 for first journey than X51 all day .
A branded bus might have to go on for 1 trip .

Great spots, just a few comments:

Omnilinks have been appearing more frequently on the 39 lately.

Pretty sure B7RLEs are common on the Cannock extenstion of the X51.

B7RLEs are the main allocation of the 256 on a Sunday, very rare to see anything else on there.

[Trident 4609]

Matt, 2068 on the 256 wasn't on a sunday. (Must have been included in wrong date) as he also posted 4009 which would be a rare sunday working

My spots from today:

4562 on WN 28
4910 on 22/3
1901 on WA 8/89
1433 on the 311/3

Yes Matt B7RLE's are usual on the cannock run atm due to a diversion meaning a restriction on Double Deckers :)


OH25, Omnilinks are becoming common on the 39. The 39 is operated by Walsall which code isWA

I wouldn't say any of those were particularly unusual to be honest.

Isn't 7026 a PB bus though?

It is, it must be on loan. Still, an Omnilink on the 71 wouldn't really make your head turn.
