Wonder how that managed to get on the 141, and why its been allowed to continue on it?

The 141 is every 30 minutes, so I don't think the emissions rules apply, so 1540 is ok on the 141


Same with Mercs appearing on the 140/241 :)

I think it's all dependent on whether the 140 & 141 are on the same VOSA registration or not. The 83 & 89 aren't on the same registration, they're just 2 separate routes with a frequency of every 30 minutes, which is why Mercs and Presidents appear on both

The 141 is on its own registration & the 140s registration also includes the 241, so presumably thats ok.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

The last time I posted a Spectra being on the 25 in this thread, you said it wasnt unusual, however maybe that was a while ago and times do change and im sorry

Trident 4609

There have been four Mercs on the 140/241 this year - 1665, 1649, 1573 and 1593. There have been two on the 141 - 1633 and now 1540. The 120 has also seen one or two, including 1521.

The 9 and 120 are the only PN routes which should be 'banned' from Mercs. The only thing is the frequency of the 140 increases above 20 minutes at peaks, whether this then means Mercs should be kept off I'm not sure.

I was going to mention that Rob. It must be meant for a Trident to run one board. I don't know if it goes off to do another route later in the day.

4286 on the 33 all day today, so can not be the one that come off a 94

OH25

4732 on the 907
