Unusual/Noteworthy Working December 2013

477* - on the 67

Not sure on this one:
I'm sure the 72's allocation has moved from scanias to B7RLEs... So far today, the only 72's i've seen are Scanias, despite their allocation on the b7s any clue to where they are?

The 71 and 72 has always been allocated B7RLE.

But with 5 extra OmniLinks transferred in from Perry Barr, and 5 B7RLEs transferred out to Pensnett, there is now more OmniLinks on these routes. There may also be a few B7RLE on the 37 as well

4759 (50 branded) - 35

The allocation of the 72 is B7RLEs & Omnilinks, mainly B7RLE though

4292-902/4/5

I recall seeing a B7TL travelling up Lower Bull Street, I thought it was the 907, but it didn't stop on Lower Bull Street

Nathan you don't have to be sorry it was sort of my own fault with regard to my post about WN3

[nitromatt1]

2076, 4563 and 4570 - WN3

B7RLE's on a B7 route isn't unusual really but saying that it it is rare to get a route 6 branded bus off route (As i reported this morning in the route branded buses off route thread) then spotted it again on Chapel Ash Island this afternoon.

Really. ::)

WN 4562 on 82 - at least 4 types on 82 today.

[Trident 4609]

Yes really!  ::) 

Anyway Just a quick question Matt as its your area, Is the 243/4 usually allocated B7RLE's,Mercs or does it still vary from werk to week as it did a few weeks back for the past few weeks?

[nitromatt1]

Yes really!  ::)

Varies. One Sunday it might be all B7s and the next Sunday it might be Mercs. Never a mixture though.

Yes i have noticed that. It was fully Merc on Boxing Day wasn't it?

[nitromatt1]

Correct Nathan, 3 Mercs on Boxing Day.

[Trident 4609]

Correct Nathan, 3 Mercs on Boxing Day.

I only saw 1543 but iirc 1629 and 1705 were also on there?

Not as unusual as such but only 1 trident on WN59 today which is odd in itself at any point.

[Nathan4775]

Sorry 4262 was on the 902/4/5

I know.  ;) but I did think that there's more Omnilinks than B7s today.
