4740 YW2?

Not a bad sighting. This might become less unusual with more ex-Perry Barr E400s moving to Yardley Wood

Passed me while I was waiting for my 37 (which turned out to be one of several Geminis out on the 37 this evening); yes, these unbranded Enviros are starting to become less unusual on the 2/3 now.

Seem to be getting one or two Mercs on the 59 quite often now?

They are on there from time to time either replacing broken down buses or if there is a dd shortage at Park Lane. There seems to be alot of B7RLE's creeping onto the 126 aswell (In reference to NXWM Spectra's post)

There is an O405N on the 59 nearly every day according to posts on here

That's what I was saying, not really noteworthy workings

I think there was one there today passed in front of my 49 (1701) coming from West Brom heading into Brum at around 9:30 :)

I suppose your right but i could say the same for some of the other posts (Like B7RLE's on the 126).  You will probably find when 4580/1/3 are back then the Mercs and B7's will appear on the 59 less and less :)

Possibly not, as the next 3 WN Tridents will go in for refurb

Well just thinking about it why don't they just allocate thevtridents off the 27A and 11 (Both could easily cope with single deckers) to the 59 and 126.

2009 on the 126 this evening.

Same as what Matt said to me about single deckers on the 59 this is becoming common now :)


Please Use Edit. Thanks LS

It's to do with the way the buses are parked in the yard, the first 27A and 11 buses will leave the garage well before all of the 59/126 buses are out, so if a suitable single decker can't easily be got to for the 27A or 11 then they'll just take a Trident out, and vice versa for the 59/126
