Unusual then ;) hehe

1661 on 26, entering in Wolverhampton bus station at 17:18.

Saw that same journey in Bilston! Didn't think it was that unusual actually, thought it was usually a mix of mercs and B6s

Hmmmm. No. 26 mostly gets the B6s because 26 interworks with 62/62A. I rarely see mercs on 26.

Definetley very rare indeed :) Especially as the 26 interworks with the 62

B7RLEs common on the 53? Saw 2079 in Merry Hill(i think - was some bus stops in the way)
Mercs common on the 1? Saw 1672 in Sedgley earlier

B7RLEs aren't common but aren't really rare on the 53, however 1672 on the 1 is a rare spot.

Wonder whether there is a hybrid out of action as 4578 was on Saturday,2025 yesterday and 1672 today?

Mercs could easily cope on the 26 but there is some tight turns for mercs on the 62.

Just waiting for a B7RLE,Spectras and the hybrids to appear on there now ;)

Not seen 5411 for ages, but could just be chance.

[Trident 4609]

Think i saw 5411 on Saturday. I was going to ask about 5417 as it was sounding bad but i remember it took up duties on the 59 on Friday

[wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)]

There must be a Hybrid out of use I would have thought, will look out tomorrow as the 1 has seen a different vehicle type all day for almost a week now with a couple of Spectra's early last week, Tridents, B7's and now a Merc, just waiting for a B6 to be sent to rescue a Hybrid (probably an Enviro)

Yes, 5411 was on the 1 on Saturday.

[Niall]

Maybe 5421? I saw it sat at a stop on the 1 route broken down on Thursday - it was there at least a couple of hours.

It will be interesting to see what replaces the Solos at PB, as I would have thought they were very close to being withdrawn now, being the last few Solos in the fleet. Would it be financially viable to buy new E200's for a service that I imagine doesn't bring in much revenue, or will they just use Omnilink's do we think?
