Which routes see a big variety of buses. I'd nominate the 1 from AG and the 83/89 (WB), which sees all types of Volvo B7TL & Mercedes Benz O405N regularly
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

94 from PB  i think see's

Volvo Trident what ever they are called
Enviro's
Scania double and single


trident4370

I'd say the 907 as it gets anything from Omnicities, Omnilinks, Enviro 400s, B7 ALX and Geminis.

NXWM Spectra

At WN, both the 11 and 59 see almost every type operated by WN M-F.

At Pensnett, it has to be the 246, which sees all types at the garage except Enviro200s (Tridents, Enviro400s, Mercs and B7RLEs). You also used to get the odd B6 not so long ago.

Wouldn't really say the 59 as it only usually has B5's,Tridents and Spectras with what ever is spare at WN so can a B6 or even a Spectra or Trident

The first part of your post seems to contradict the second part. It doesn't see a big variety of buses, but it uses any bus that WN have.

Trident 4609

But that is one peak board not the actual full allocation. Most routes getting anything spare on a peak board.

If you look at the 11/32/3 they don't really have much of an allocation as apart from the hybrids everything else from PL appears most days as the main allocation.

The 59 only has Tridents, Spectras and B5's as the main allocation

Liverpool Street

But Nath, I think its a matter of opinion. If you have 3 or more various vehicles on a route I'll class it as a variety.

However, you can't call peak boards as full route allocation. One journey or two? Nah.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Agree with you there, usually Geminis and Omnicities but everything else can regularly appear.

BC  24 E200s, B7RLEs, Hybrids, E400s. Whatever have BC got in the garage I'd say

WN 59

I'd agree on the 24. 5 vehicle types - Trident, B5LH, E400H, E400 and B7RLE (evenings) are all everyday occurrences. E200s less so but there is still one afternoon peak board that sometimes sees them.

Trident 4609

Yes the 59 may have 3 vehichle types but there are the 11/32/3 that have Tridents,Spectras,Mercs,B7RLE's and B6's as the main allocation (Not really a set allocation) so the 59 doesn't really have the biggest variety.
