Untimetabled 'E' Workings

[John]

Another one I have not seen since, was a 141E working from Merry Hill terminating in Bearwood, on 4817 here

Are the 9E'S to Edgbaston, Five Ways timetabled

No they aren't, but it's not uncommon to see a bus running late on a 9E to Five Ways

You also get occasional 120/140Es to Five Ways

For many years on a Sunday, the 140 only ran to Bearwood so it was 140Es all day.

I remember the 140E's which used to terminate at Birmingham Kings Head.  Does anyone know where these used to turn around to get to the other side of the dual carriage way to begin the return journey?

There is a 141E Merry Hill to Bearwood every Monday-Saturday night, the 23:00 from Merry Hill

Clearly this is a rogue daytime one though

Did see one once do a u turn at the main traffic lights at Bearwood.

This on as well on the 8C, 1802 came right behind the 8C in front of it, so it was 20 minutes late

Isn't that where the 8A & 8C begin the Circle?

Isn't that where the 8A & 8C begin the Circle?

Adderly Road is where the Alum Road Road, Washwood Heath Road and Saltley Viaduct all meet

I do think some start from there, yes

Thought So Thanks John :) the last time I looked at the 8A/C Timetable was a long while ago now and it read Saltley as the starting point for every Journey

Once runningboards began to specify the route to be taken when running out of service it was continue along Hagley Road, left into Barnsley Road, left into Sandon Road, left into Rutland Road, left onto Bearwood Road and right back onto Hagley Road.

They used to do a u-turn for a couple of years for every working. After a while they would just do a loop along Sandon and Bearwood Road to get back to the Hagley Road West

How come a short journey on the 11 isn't 11AE or 11CE?

.   
Don't think you can get four digits on the display

You can, eg. 904E workings to Sutton

The B10's used to do 11E runs, and I don't think you can get 4 on that, and NXWM didn't bother to change it

Every new bus delivered since 1969, with the exception of those built as dealer stock.  Eg 1317 to 1328 have been able to display 4 digit service numbers

The only NXWM buses with 3 track blinds if I remember correctly are the ex London short excels (720x and 4xx fleetnumbers)

How about 126E,255/6E,900E etc?

Ah yes, good call, forgot about those anomalies.

Personally, I have seen quite a lot of E workings occurring on a snowy days.

I have seen the 957 to terminate at Yardley's Swan centre coming from Solihull, but it is happening often, I assume it is timetabled? I've seen the 58 terminate at there coming from Solihull as well few times.

I also seen the 60 terminate at Hay Mills and terminate at Arden Oak (On one of these snowy days wasn't it?), and I remembered seeing a bus terminating at Saltley, but I can't quite put a finger on what number it was.
