Nice photo Matt :) Surely Tridents on evening 244's will be appearing more often with tridents being allocated to the 276 :)

Very strange seeing the two tridents parked next to each other displaying 244 so great pic :) Did you ride any of the two tridents?

Forgot to post this but as said in the branded buses off route thread:

I saw Route 6 branded 2077 on the 59 last night. Two B7RLE's on a Sunday! What's going on Park Lane?

"What's going on"? Why waste time trying to find a double decker out the garage if a B7 is ready for service?

Surely there wasn't just a branded bus parked at front of garage as there are always at least unbranded examples parked up. Tbh yes the B7 coped last night but 2008 on during the day was rediculous. I saw 2008 3 times yesterday and each tine it was packed or very busy

Yeah I agree 2008 being on during the day was a mistake, but at night I can't see any issue with the whole route being B7 operated let alone one or two buses

Because the double deckers are allocated to the boards from the morning and Park Lane obviously don't see the point of specifically taking them off and putting single deckers on.

Tbh I think WN should use the spare hybrids on the 126 on a Sunday (Branded and any spare unbranded hybrids)

Central seem to manage with the 22, 23, 24 and 957 though.

I wonder if 59 journeys could be put on the end of 2, 3, 4 etc running boards so that B7s coming off those routes in the evening come onto the 59, and Spectras/Tridents come off the 59 and go back to the garage.

Weekday 59's up till at least 9 are pretty busy

1640 - 53/289 ? Unusal, from posts on here I'm under the impression its converted to DD operation.

I think it is around half decker and half O405N operation

[Trident 4609]

1672 on WN4
4016 on WN 1 (Saw running as a 1E to the rock)

Both 4136/7 are on WA69

1640 on 53/289 is not unusual Nathan, just a case of one or two more deckers than before have ppeared of late but a DD conversion, noo.

I also saw 4016, it went out private to Tettenhall when I saw it on Lichfield Street around 1ish, then I saw it again at about 3pm and it was a 1E to city, the next 1 was a green machine also running as a 1E
