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

Of course, like there is with ALX400's from PB

Can't see that its been posted yet but 4135 is on the 241/140. I saw 4812 on the X96 as well if a decker is unusual on there?

First (and worst) Trident on the 140/241! And I missed it >:( when did you see this, and where?

The Tridents seemed to be getting about today with 4195 on the 141 and 4200 on the 9, although this was subbed off for 4817 last thing tonight

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

Can an Omilink manuvour around the route prety big compared to solo.

I saw it on the 140 about 1:20ish heading towards Birmingham on Dudley Road, then caught it at 5pm on the 241 from Halesowen. It seemed to rev quite high compared to the other tridents at PE, particularly coming out of Halesowen bus station, although I suppose that could have been down to the way it was driven

Haven't seen one on the smaller parts of the route yet but from memory I cant think of any part that would pose too much of a problem

Best Spectra in the fleet! Spectras aren't that uncommon on the 27/A though ;)

What? Spotted it in Darlaston around about 15:30 on the 79! Sure it was the 27? Definetley 4002 i saw. Also saw it on the 79 at Lunchtime so sure it wasn't 4022 you saw?

Heard that 4135 broke down on the 140/241 yesterday and had to go back to garage, why am I not surprised...

I am surprised, surprised it keeps going as long as it does.

Perhaps it will go for refurbishment shortly, the new paint & seat covers may make it more reliable, NOT!!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
