4555 -  WN 3 (Is this the one that sees a double decker or is that another route)

Yes that is the one Nathan. I did not see one on the 3 last Friday though. Must have missed it if one was on the 3

Thanks John, aimed to get a picture but didnt go so well  ;D




There was also a B7 on the 79, I think that replaced the trident which was sat in the middle of the bus station near the coach stands with its hazards flashing.

I thought I heard on the radio that the temporary traffic lights by McDonald's, Colley Gate are causing delays

There was also an OmniLink on the 40/41 today & on the 70A. At least one B7 meanwhile on the 311/3 & 301 (not unusual in themselves).

Ashley

1891 and 1896 were both on the 40/41 today

Could be Winston, also heard Park lane was closed early this afternoon due to a serious accident, so that would have increased the traffic in that particular area!

I wonder whther there were 2 incidents then, because Radio WM said that Park Lane was closed due to an accident by the Unitarian Church along there?

It's like that every night Stu, I was on one of a convoy of 3 Enviros heading through Lye High Street towards Stour last night (4812/20/28)

Back to noteworthy workings...

WN 2012 on 1
WN 4571 on 82
WA 673 on 39

Trident 4609

Yes one board on the 3 is trident operated. What time did you see it though?

Maybe you just didn't spot 4001 as it has been on during the day (Saw it do the 15:25 departure from Wolverhampton)
