Unusual/Noteworthy Working December 2013

[nitromatt1]

4349 on the 141
4820 on the 140
2130 on the 9

There are one or two Tridents on the 141 every day.

What time did you see 2130, presumably this morning? It can't have been 2100 as it would have still been en route from garage to Stourbridge at the time you posted this

[Jack2001]

A E400 just went past my house on the 140 a minute ago . I presume it is 4820. If it is that's the second time today I have seen it ;)

[Stu]

4098 - YW 3 earlier not sure if its still out though

Saw that this morning just before 9am doing a 3E to Yardley Wood.

Not long before that also saw AG 4100 on the 37 in Sparkbrook heading out of city.

Nice to see Presidents back on the Stratford Road again!

[CL]

4821 on the 140 near Municipal Offices, it was then after it broke down on Colmore Row with the engine flap open

Seen 4 Enviros on the 140 which seems a lot.

Also:

WB 4084 on 74/75
WB 4291 on 83/89 (deckers are usually Presidents)
PB 4501 on 952H
PB 4854 on 16?
AG 2121 on 5

I think I saw an Omnilink on the PB 7 too.

Deckers on 83/89 can be any type of B7TL's, ALX's and President being the most frequent to appear

that does seem a lot Matt, it seems at the moment that PE seem to be using virtually anything on any route. Certainly at 4:15 this afternoon PE didn't have a spare Enviro 400/Trident and if 2100 hadn't turned up, the peak board on the 9 may have been left uncovered or it would have been 824 or 1706?

ALXs on 83/89 almost everyday, I'm not too sure about Omnilinks on the 7

Geminis can be just as common as Presidents somedays, usually 2 Geminis a day on Sunday

[nitromatt1]

Just spotters luck that I only see Presidents on the 83/89 then, cheers

Also note WB have broken the LEZ rules again

[Trident 4609]

one from earlier on I have just remembered

4763 on WA8/89- Saw in Heath Town (Going towards Wolverhampton) @ 15:35

[trident4370]

Just spotters luck that I only see Presidents on the 83/89 then, cheers

Also note WB have broken the LEZ rules again

I'm beginning to wonder if they are more of a guideline than a solid rule...

Isn't there a fine or something to be implemented when the rule gets broke? Like the Trainee Buses aren't allowed into the city either I've heard (those ones which aren't Emmison Compliant)

[trident4370]

Funny you should mention trainers, I saw one of the Ultras going up Moor St about 2/3 weeks ago turning into Carrs Lane, had about 4 people on board.
