Unusual workings September 2013

[nitromatt1]

Well don't forget that the 53 now has a double decker working in the morning and afternoon so that's another PE decker in demand!

All the more reason for the 12 more Tridents which I'm hoping will arrive soon!

Coming from BC I believe ?

what time is the 53 double working ? never seen a double on the 53 so would like to see it

The afternoon one if I remember rightly is 15:45 from WB although I could be getting mixed up, not sure on the morning one.

Logically it would make sense for them to come from BC. What I'm more interested in is which batch, I'm hoping for some 44**s

:) will have to go up to WB and find out

I imagine more 41** tridents  :)

I really can't say which, as far as I'm concerned it could be 41** 44** or 46**s, 43**s are the only ones I'm ruling out

Logic would say they are coming from BC along with further B7RLE, surely if the new 26 x E400's are due for PB (Sutton Lines), the only way they can cascade out anything to BC is by the earlier toothpaste 07/57 plate E400's moving to BC to release them. The rest of the PB fleet is non standard to BC & generally Volvo. The other question then is what would be used to upgrade the 94 that Simon (NXOD) quoted would be happening in early 2014?

Just to answer a few questions on here,

Winston, I presume all of the 07/57 plate E400's will stay at PB as i'm sure it was said on here that they will upgrage the 94 (And presumably go onto other PB routes.) It would then be logical to send some Gemini's or ALX400 B7TL to replace the older mercs.


Matt, I think that the 53 double deck board is an all day board that covers that busy afternoon journey as karl i'm pretty sure said that it will cover the morning as well


One Unusual Working today

2006 on WN 59 all day


Not unusual really but 581 was on the 59 this morning (Morning peak board). First time i have seen 581 on the 59 at any time plus 1682 on the afternoon board so a total of 3 single deckers on the 59 today

2123 was on the 11C this arvo, passing the Tesco at Aston just after 4pm.

I'm not a regular round there but never seen a single decker on the 11 before. Behind it within around 150m were 3 other 11C's all 40xx's so must have been a traffic shambles.

unusual or not?

I saw a convoy of 4 11C passing through Kings Heath at about 5, then 20 minutes later when I went to catch mine home, 3 came together... nothing new there!
