This morning AG 4073 was on the 37.

Are AG and YW short of double deckers atm as they seem to be resorting to put Presidents on City Centre Services?

I saw 2-3 buses on Saturday on the 48 and they were both Gemini's

Also Rob is it me or does a B7RLE daily work the 957 as one is reported on here regually. I was wondering whether one board was a B7 and stays out untill late night or whether it interworks with certain 58 journey's?

I live 5 minutes away from the 48/129 stop, predominantly Mercs whenever I see it. Doubles do appear now and again, no idea about Saturday allocation

I don't think AG are particularly short of double-deckers, as there were a few Geminis on the 37 in the evening.

Only speculating really, but someone earlier spotted a President in Coventry this afternoon, it could I suppose be possible that it was 4073, after doing peak running on the 37 in the morning, then went off to Coventry to have its MOT?

Double deckers do the workings withdrawn Mercs used do, which would explain the occurrence of doubles on any WB single deck route

Forgot to mention I saw 4367 on the 23 but don't know if this is regular given the amount of hybrids on the 24.

4279 on the 952
49xx on the 38 (didn't see it because it was too far)

You have better eyes than I do.
I caught it on its way into Wolverhampton this morning and didn't even see it this afternoon.

Just some stuff I've seen today. I'll post everything here rather than loads of little posts in different topics.

PB4780 back out on the 7
BC E200 on the 24
PE Trident on the 9

There might have been something else but I've forgotten now.
I'm on Flickr and Youtube

Nice to hear 4780 is back out. Must have been a peak journey as it has been parked in the garage for most of the day
