Unusual Workings October 2013

[Stu]

They suppose to be allocated by B7RLEs but sometimes they are omnilinks

The opposite is true of the 37 also, supposed to be allocated Omnilinks, but you get many of the Eclipse 2 B7RLEs there also.

Spectra > 1

4021 is the Spectra on the 1. 81* was on WB 80 (811 or 817 and it was an all day board before anybody asks)

common working I was told ?

Wasn't that just a morning peak time journey? Saw this between 12:30-1PM

[Nathan4775]

oh not sure then, but I think the bus was 817 seen it at the markets

[Matt.N0056]

I saw the back end of a president in Birmingham, by the markets, displaying 31E. Im guessing if it was on the 31 - it was a 'E' due to it only going as far as the markets.

There was also 4855 on the 16. Not unusual, but not something I see everyday! However i did miss it today. Got to my bus stop a second too late!  ::)

4094 Plaxton President was on the 76E I caught this morning to school. Don't tend to see the Presidents on the 76 so quite a rare working. I must say they are better than the Dennis Tridents. The suspension is very smooth and the actual quality of the interior is much better.

That would be an unusual spot indeed! Though I'm not surprised, there seemed to be some excessive delays on the Stratford Road services this evening, whilst waiting a long time for my 37 home, two 6s passed by completely full and couldn't stop, then another 37 which was also full. Lucky for me, a 37 service started from Camp Hill Island which was completely empty. The President on the 31 was probably put on to try and fill in a gap in service.

I thought both Presidents and ttidents were the allocation for the 76

The President's seem to be sticking to the 49 lately. When I was in Northfield last week, there was no Presidents on the 18, which is unusual (usually around half Trident and half President). I also did not see any Tridents on the 49. I have not seen any President's on the 76 for a while now.

Gets me wondering if they will last much longer at Yardley Wood?

[trident4370]

The most I've seen on my last few visits to 18 territory was 1 president a day and the 76 seems solid Trident, saying that I do still see Tridents on both the 49 and 49E but only 1 or 2 a day. I'd like to think Presidents will live on at YW for a while longer yet but I'm not confident!
