Unusual Workings August 2013

[Nathan4775]

5*9 - 46, may have been 569. An Eclipse Urban & Omnilink (18*4) - X51

Was that on the Cannock Run ?

The Eclipse was, unsure about the Omnilink, only saw the back displaying 'X51'

someone on here said singles are needed on the X51 because of something in Cheslyn Hay

[Trident 4609]

Yes Nathan there is a diversion on the X51 in cheslyn hay (Towards cannock only) meaning double deckers can't be used.

As matt reported earlier we caught 4829 on the 241 this afternoon. We caught Manor Way/Cloister Drive so we saw two E400's heading down Manor Way so it looked like two 9's were coming but the one behind was the 241.

Are E200's unusual on the 47/A as i saw 820 on there today?

Saw 4115 on the 40 in West Brom today (As already reported)

Not really Nathan, they appear on there a bit more often now than they used to, although when the Sandwell Bus Review first took place, the E200s were originally going to be used on the 47/A.

Stu I though thats were they were placed, as well as being on the 45/46 ???, so if they dont appear on the 47/A were do they appear other than 45/46

Seen them regularly on the 40, they don't appear so regularly on the 45/6 anymore. so it seems to be more 40 & 47/A.

E200s appear primarily on the 40 & 46, and occasionally on the 47/A

The 46 gets solid E200s and the 45 gets Mercs (and I think the odd B6)

7025 on the 94 this afternoon. The ticket machine confusing lots of people ;D

Ticket machine must be a headache for driver

Why?

I don't get it?

If i'm right, 7025 has one of the Wayfarer TGX200?* Where the ticket prints from the machine...
(*Not sure what model, please correct me. (Saw this bus on the 46 once))

yes, all of 7021-33 have the other type of ticket machine which confuses people when they get onto unusual routes

Whats even funnier is when an ex Cov Omnilink or 1905-1907 appear on the 28, some people do the reverse and expect the ticket to come from where it does on 7021-7033

[Trident 4609]

Oh ok thanks for the replies. I knew they were originally for the 47/A but they usually go onto the 40 (Although 4115 was on there today!) and 46. Saw a E200 on the 45 in Walsall today

The final running board of the day out the garage on the 40 can get a mixture of buses put onto it and sometimes will even see an alx200 so guess all that was left in the garage was a president so got used. An enviro 200 was on the 45 today, there not uncommon but the main allocation are the mercs and the normally 1 b6le daily. The enviro 200 usually stick to the 40/46 but can appear on the 42/43/45/47/A.

This was a little weird actually because 4195 came onto the X96 mid-journey this afternoon at Merry Hill. It replaced 2095 which swapped onto a 141 and did the 1604 into Birmingham
