4154 was on the 35 this morning, possibly a president replacing transfer, possibly a short term loan or possibly a new peak BC board (although that seems unlikely given the time it was running)...

Are you sure?

1000% even got a photo :P

Link please. I wonder if this is the start of another batch of Tridents going from Central to make way for ex-PB buses to be sent to BC to upgrade the Pershore Road? Saying that BC is still 4 buses over official capacity.

As 4111 was also seen at YW, I wonder if they were just suffering a vehicle shortage and borrwing off BC & AG

Most likely scenario. The new 63 - plated E400's have yet to get delivered, so I purpose transfers wouldn't be starting yet.

Link please.

http://i41.tinypic.com/xq9lpg.jpg Certainly looks like a transfer/loan as it has the same Blind style the 433* all seem to have gained.

Well the formatting of the destinations would be gained by YW's magic box.

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.

Does the 101 run on Single deckers on late night services, as a 19** OmniLink is on there tonight, or was it out all day?

It was 1905. A 101 single decker is a rare working indeed. I work in the Jewellery Quarter. Cant remember the last time I saw one. It was out all day. Saw it at various times between 9.30am and around 6pm.

One from Monday, 1942 (37 branded) on the 5.

Thanks Gareth, I have seen one OmniLink on there before, and that was at least 3 years ago.

1845 on the 66A. Obviously not unusual for an Omnilink, but it is for a Leather seated one.

4509 is also on the 5, both O405Ns and Gemini's are not unusual.

The 2 ALX400s on the Sutton Lines I would call slightly unusual, nice to see them on there again, and the 48** Enviro400s appear on there all the time

1785 on the 6, may be unusual now, as the 6 used to run on 2 deckers and a single, I have not seen that for a while now.

One of the deckers on the 53/289 will be the school board

4086 on the 48 is good, but it seems to becoming less unusual lately, there has been a few sightings of deckers on the 48 lately

1695 on the 5 is not unusual, a O405N appears on there most days
