Unusual Workings October 2013

E200 801 seen at marston green 0920 working 14 to Birmingham via chelmsey wood

That's the first time I've seen an E200 be reported on the 14, except those early morning short workings to Tile Cross.

It's happened before as I was on that working a while ago unbranded one

This was on X64 at 4.15 by New St Station

Thinking about it 677 probably came off the 335/6 onto a 301 like usual

Yes, as I said before the running board would look larger because it includes all 335/336 trips, as well as the 301 trips.

48** - PB67

I think it was 4856, as it does do 'strange appearances' on obscure routes. I don't really think a E400 on the 67 is rare, but, i don't really see one, especially on the newer ones!

The un-branded 48**s are usually on the Sutton Lines when not on the 33, one or two on there most days, for the time being. It is unusual to see one of these Enviro400s on the 67, usually a 47** when one is on the 67, but with the 47**s leaving Perry Barr, not for much longer

I'm gonna miss the 47** at PB. :(

Would the original few be repainted from their toothpaste livery? It'll look good for a change, but i surely would miss them once they're in service on 45/47. BTW, by original, i mean buses such as 4718 - 4129

They won't go into service on the 45/7! They are going to YW with Tridents from Yardley Wood going to Pensnett.

Also an Omnilink (Ex Coventry) (Once again never wrote down fleetnumber) on the 67 this afternoon. Don't really pay attention to the 67 so i am unsure how common/unusual it is so if someone could tell me that would be great :)

67 usually bendis and geminis, but PB generally throw anything going at it, even seen the omnicities and b10s before the emissions rule. Not entirely sure I'd class any sighting on the 67 as unusual to be honest

2097 on the 222
1919 on YW 3
214* on BC 45/7 (Appeared to be on all day as i saw about 13:55 in Moor St
2130 on the 24 (Again in the daytime)

I already reported 2097 on the 222. Also isn't that the B7RLE that does the 45/47 then goes onto the 61/63? B7RLEs do also seem to be appearing more frequently on the 24.

I think someone said it was around 14:30 ? till late may be wrong though

I'm sure LS would know (hint hint...)

Lol, hint taken.

Is that starting BR service at 1400, or starting on the PR?

Sorry, I should've clarified, its out of garage about 1350 to go on the Pershore at around 1400, then onto the Bristol at I think 1800-ish... not forgetting a 98 thrown in there somewhere

Thanks LS! Nath, looks likely that you saw the B7 just entering service on the Pershore Road.
