Untimetabled 'E' Workings

[Matt.N0056]

A couple of 37Es to Sparkbrook this afternoon, presumably because of congestion around the Markets it City (only read about it,didn't see how bad it was myself!)

4567 worked a 59E to Wednesfield from Wolverhampton this afternoon

Doesn't that mean technically it did a quarter of a journey? 59E Wednesfield

Why do E services get put into service ?! I know their journeys which finish earlier than their original terminus but why do they get into service ?!

[Mike K]

5518 on a 23E to Five Ways seen on War Lane at 5.50pm.

Some sort of problem in Harborne as another Hybrid on the 22 came up Metchley Lane towards City about 10 mins earlier.

In what meaning, timetabled or not?

Just in general really, I'm surmising timetabled E journeys are for when their is less demand at a certain time and route.

Untimetabled is where a bus is running a considerable time behind where it should be so it gets a shortened route to catch back up to time, timetabled on the other hand (I think) is at times in the day there is demand for a certain service from location A - location B, so a shortened version of a route is used, i.e the 126E on an evening every other 126 is a E working to Dudley.

Demolishing a row of old shops, 1 lane closed, traffic almost stationary with all the crossings and other traffic lights as well, nightmare

They're busy resurfacing the Hamstead Road up towards Newton, so 16s are all turning in Hamstead Village. Just seen 4801, 4819, 4812 and a diamond hybrid plus 816 on the 46.
Although as I type a Diamond centro just went beyond so maybe they haven't told all their drivers
