Noteworthy Workings November 2013

[Mike K]

Matt, the 1445 53 from Merry Hill is the decker board. If Nathan got the time right then that could sort of be classed as unusual couldn't it?

Yes, that's what I just said

BC Volvo B7 2127 on route 22 in Colmore Row about 9.20 p.m.

B7s are the allocation on the Harborne corridor every night

Even on Sundays. Which makes me think, what route do the B7RLEs come off on Sunday evenings to go onto the 22-24? Or do they come from the garage?

What time does the changeover happen? I don't venture out much in the evenings these days but last Thursday when I did, I only saw a B5LH and an E400H. That was around 19.30, they were both heading out of city.

I saw B7RLEs on the 22-24 after 9 last Wednesday and Sunday. So more than likely between 8 & 9

Someone did clarify the times of the (53/289) double decker working, but it can't find the thread it's in  :-[

PM: 1445 from merry hill
AM: 0740 from WB

The morning board seems to be deckered as well, but I saw 4 tridents on the 53 today.

Was it a bad collision Nathan or is there no money to be spent on the Mercs/Spectra's anymore.

[Stu]

YW 4740, 4741 and 4743 all noticed this evening on the 2 and 3.

It's probably fair to assume that these really are not unusual any more, aren't these extra Enviros at YW supposed to be for the 35?

[Trident 4609]

All the details are in the WN garage thread Stu but i believe while they were repairing 1676 they fount something wrong with the chassis so withdrew it.

1676 had no exterior damage, 4003 had its front missing though. It's very difficult to find Spectra parts, I would've thought spares from 4007 could save 4003 or vice versa, but clearly not.

On the 22/23 tonight between 19.30 and 19.45 I've seen 2133, 5506, another B7RLE and another B5LH so looks to be a mix.

Not the facts as I have been told
