Unusual Workings August 2013

[Ash]

4296 on the 82/87 today. No excuse for an ALX400 on there on a Sunday

This isn't unheard of. There was one on there last Sunday

4297 was on the 5, there would be plenty of presidents to use instead with the other two buses being 4084/5.

It's the case of how the buses are parked . On Sundays probably 60 per cent of fleet is in garage.
If a branded president is 5 buses behind from the front they will allocate the nearest bus to the exit.
Not spending 30 mins trying to get it out.

Yes I know how it works. 90% of unusual workings are as a result of this, particularly buses departing depot early weekday mornings when most of the fleet is still there

And other factors such as a breakdown can cause an unusual working

I wonder if 7019/7020 could be transferring back to AG ex PB now PB had had all the ex NXC Omnilink?

PB have had 15 x Omnilinks in, with 13 x B10L to replace & 1836 went to BY

Good question, with the curtailment of the 1 they should need a couple less, not more.

7020 is probably just on loan for a bit, maybe another bus is off the road for some reason.

Hasn't 7020 been seen a couple of times at AG now? They shouldn't really be needing to loan buses during the reduced pvr/summer timetable period
