[Ossie]

For the record 4723/27/30 working all day on the 115/914 roster - managed to ride 4727/30

Also 1863 on the 914 around midday, which again I luckily caught - much chuntering from three old ladies getting onboard at Lidl, Pype Hayes ....

"Well you don't usually see a single deck bus on this route - fair threw me, it did ...."

Quite, Madam!  ;D

[CL]

[Trident 4609]

2133 on the 97A

B7RLE's aren't really that unusual on the 97/A/P

[Liverpool Street]

2133 on the 97A

B7RLE's aren't really that unusual on the 97/A/P

I'd say its worth a mention though. Regardless of status of Unusualness.

5515 was on WN11 this morning, that broke down and has been replaced by 5510

[Trident 4609]

Saw 5510 on the 11 this afternoon (As reported by Ashley)departing Wolverhampton Bus Station about 15:25. (As Ashley mentioned it was the replacement for 1 branded 5515)

Very rare to get any hybrids on the 11 at anytime let alone a branded example then for another B5 (Unbranded 5510) to replace it is even more rare

That's something I've noticed before, sometimes when a bus on an unusual route breaks down, it is replaced by another unusual working (usually the same type), I wonder why. These include

5515 > 5510 on 11
4445 > 4621 on 900
Spectra > Merc on 256

and many other occasions
