Unusual workings September 2013

[nitromatt1]

Spectra (Didn't see fleet number) and my favourite bus 4609 on WN28. Seen around 15:30 at the Lichfield Rd/Peacock Avenue junction near Ashmore Park in Wednesfield

Spectras aren't particularly unusual on the 28 from my observation

[John]

4252 and one of the Vinyl wrap B7TLS both on the 952. 4252 has been on there all day, it looks like 4259 or 4263 came on in the PM peak. It is not too unusual for a decker to get on there in the peak, have not seen one for a while though. It is unusual to have one on there all day

But the 28 being fully double decker is! 4004/10 and 4609 were the 3 buses today so no B6's Spectras are still unusual and haven't seen one for abit. It was common during Summer timetable

Oh fully double decker is unusual. Thought you implied there was just one on there

I did see the vinyl one going past Miller Street at about 11 35 this morning so I think it was also all day, also saw 7031 on there so I wonder where the leathers have gone!

[Trident 4609]

Well i saw 4609 and 4010 at first then went back out and spotted the third bus which wad 4004 (I think)

No idea which one but there was a leather omnilink on the 66 today

While I remember, I saw a trident on the 27 (or 27A?) in Wolverhampton, is this at all unusual? I'm sure I read somewhere that its normally B6s?

Nope, Tridents form part of the main allocation of the 27/A :) alongside B6s and the odd Merc/Spectra. However, Mercs have been appearing a lot less on the 27 lately

Matt, It seems since summer timetable has ended its mainly merc on the 27/A once again with the odd trident now

[trident4370]

1781 on the 934 earlier.

[nitromatt1]

at 13:51 @ Five Ways
4199 was on the 9

2096 (I think?) is on the 9 as well

Are B6s unusual on the 59? Saw one earlier along with Spectras and one  (or two?) Trident

As it turns out, 4199 is about to do the last 9 of the night (all-day board), surprised it hasn't ran out of fuel! 4200 however went off earlier.

2096 was also one of the last 6 buses but would've gone off at Stour at around 10:30

Are B7RLE's now the evening allocation of the 24? As I've had them 4 times on there now.

Yes, the 24 converts to fully single decker on Mon-Sat evenings, it would be very unusual to see anything else on there, except on Sunday evenings when the Hybrids stay on from the daytime in my observation. If there was a Trident on there on Sunday daytime, it would be interesting to see if it stays on in the evening, or if it gets swapped for something else
