Enviro400 on the PN205 - 16:00 ex Dudley to Blackheath.

Turns out it was the one and only 4813.

Coped brilliantly up Portway Hill

Seems everytime they want to cover an unusual working lately, 4813 comes along to save the day.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

A Merc died earlier on apparently, hence 4813 took over

PN - 4197 and 4200 on 244

I've never managed to catch a Trident on the 244 before, but tonight I've done it twice!

I wonder if PE are trying deckers out on all there routes to see how they will cope when the Mercs are gone and there are fewer singles around?

These both came off the 276, which was mostly DD operated today

Will be interesting to see if they keep the single decker routes fully B7 tomorrow

The 243 has been allowed deckers for at least a month now. I guess whilst the 243/244/276 continue to interwork evenings then this is going to keep happening ;D

That's true Stu, I haven't got round to looking at the new 276 timetable yet so no idea how it will work

Will look at it when I get home, if the 9 which is supposedly 11 minutes late ever comes!

Trident 4609

Actually the tridents do display 126E when on the way back to Wolverhampton, Always thought it was stupid but i have seen this many a time

Yep, they do, seen buses come into Dudley bus station NIS, sit on the patch for a bit and then head to the 126 Wolverhampton stand displaying 126E Wolverhampton
