YJ59 GFE is an Optare Tempo though John :)

I know. I just said I only see an OmniLink on there as a single decker ;)

[Stu]

Saw YJ59 GFE this evening on the X20 heading into city in Sparkbrook, not noticed one of these on there before!

With Johnsons one decker down after its accident, it is usually one of the OmniLinks alongside the other decker on the X20 from what I see.

Do Johnsons still have the ex London Trident?

Yes, it was a Tempo I saw, what John meant, and I can vouch for as I often see the X20 pass me by while I'm waiting for my 37 from Sparkbrook, is that when a Scania Optare double-deck is not used, its often an Omnilink out on the X20.

replaced the X50, in the daytime, Think the X50 is has only a few journeys now.

I don't know if the third X20 decker is back (The one involved in the accident), but on Thursday, there was an Olympus with a brand new front end, no logos/branding

Was it 'PN09 ENJ' involved, as the other two have been pictured in service in the past 2 weeks, this one has not been pictured since June?

Saw it again today. It is 'PN09 ENJ' with the new front end. The advert frames are also empty so it looks like to me it was the one involved in the accident, is now back in service.

Two brand new Scania Omnicitys have arrived and will shortly enter service

New omnilink YN63 BYP on 150

[trident4370]

YN63 BYO on 150 today so both the new omnilinks are out.

Is a double on the 150 unusual ? If so there's a double out on the 150

Yes, usually Tempos or OmniLinks. What decker was it Nathan, an X20 Olympus or an ALX400?

[Nathan4775]

John it was an ALX double , managed to get a pic when I come out the bullring but isn't identifiable.
