Noteworthy Workings November 2013

[Sh4318]

Presidents have been appearing for a few months now Nathan :)

It started with the introduction of summer timetables during the summer holidays, they then seemed to go away for a short time after normal timetables resumed, but then started coming back on a daily basis by late September.

Euro 3 B7TLs are less common on there (due to them being prioritised for the city centre routes), but do happen from time to time.

48 this week:

Monday - 5 Mercs
Tuesday - 5 Mercs
Wednesday - 4 Mercs, 1 Gemini
Thursday - 5 Mercs.

4522 to be exact ;)

I had it for haulage ;) it was an interesting journey home. The emergency door alarm was going off. The driver (when stuck in traffic at the temporary traffic lights on Spon Lane South) went to investigate both exits, then turned off the engine and lights to restart the bus. It wouldn't restart. Got off and started to walk home when it came past 5 minutes later. Managed to flag it down get it back to the bus station.

That's fortunate then ;D. I don't understand why they don't use more doubles on the 48, they should have a split of Mercs and doubles, like they do with the 83/89

Two being on there might pass for unusual. 4856 is a great spot though!

It's 1407 - quite a surprise at any time, let alone a Saturday.
