Unusual Workings August 2013

[598]

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)

822 was also on the 47/47A

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.

So what does the 45/46 is it B6LE's ? sorry I havent been to WB in a while

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

569 (sure it was 569) was on the 46 today

I see, it is very rare to get anything other than E200s on the 46... On the Londonderry - Scott Arms journeys anyway

Is there a gap so passengers can take a ticket from the wayfarer itself?

Yes there is, buts its very small. Smart card Passes also have to be placed on the wayfarer too.

4195 X96

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

4195 was originally on the 141 earlier but was swapped with 2095 from the X96 due to 141 driver not being type-trained with Tridents. 2095 stayed on right to the end doing the 23:00 141E to Bearwood from Merry Hill

1433 on the 70A

[Trident 4609]

Nathan, 1433 on the 70A is common (Main allocation alongside tridents and B7RLE's)

4681 was on WA29 today

[Kevin]

Omnilinks seem to be quite regular on the 654 in case anyone else notices one / wants to see one. Saw it twice today, and even just seeing the number on a larger bus is weird, let alone the bus on the route itself

[Lukeee]

Indeed they stick out like a sore thumb, nice change from Solos though
