[James4368]

2130 on 957 to Solihull at wheatsheif 0840
4317 on 957 to Birmingham at wheatsheif 0835
4896 on 60 to cranes park at wheatsheif 1510

B7RLE's and Tridents don't appear to be unusual on the 957 at the moment while two E400's are absent. They seem to be reported most days :)

what the regs of 2 E400 out of service

[Trident 4609]

4899 (BX13 JVW) and 4909 (BX13 JWK) are off road with accident damage after both being involved in a collision with each other meaning B7RLE's and tridents are appearing on 957's most days and tridents regually being allocated to 900 boards to cover :)

[Trident 4609]

A Spectra (Forgot the fleet number) and 4592 on WN28 today. Unusual to have two double deckers (Unusual to have one let alone two) during the week.

Also not that unusual but just to note a Spectra is on the 529 this evening. Saw on Bilston St/Rd island in Wolverhampton

So that's where 1430 was today! :) 1430 rarely see's service on another route during the week and is virtually allocated to W69/03 Mon-Fri.

1438 is still out on the 302
Theres a Trident still out on WA10 (43xx)

4874 on 997's tonight

Saw the Spectra this afternoon and had a feeling it was a late board. Does the 997's see branded vehicles in the evenings Ashley?

Which Spectra is it Nathan?

Also, evening 997's see nothing but leather as far as I know. Any 48xx's that appear in the day usually come off after the PM peak

[trident4370]

4728 and 4732 both on 18 today (I have a feeling 4728 replaced a trident)
Also saw 4096 on the 76, first time I have seen that in a while.
Not so rare this last week but 1916 35.

Couldn't see the fleet number sorry Ash :( ;).  I was on the other side of Bilston St island aboard 1753 on the 69 when I saw it pull out of Horseley Fields

Thanks for the info about 997's :) Much appreciated :) As you know I don't go to Walsall in the evening to see it ;) Thanks again

There was a Trident and an Omnilink on the 35 today

[trident4370]

There was a Trident and an Omnilink on the 35 today

There were at least 3 tridents, 4335, 4338 and a BV52 which I've forgotten if that helps. :)

[Trident 4609]

There was a Trident and an Omnilink on the 35 today

Do tridents still appear from time to time on the 35 or is it fully E400 operated? Also I have noticed the increase of Omnilinks on the 35. Up till November/Early December it was very rare for an Omnilink to appear on the 35 now they seem to appear every so often when needed to cover if an E400 or trident isn't available :)

[Ashley]

John or Nathan4775 may have a better take on evening 997's but as I said all I see is leather.

As for YW35 Nathan, it definately isn't fully E400 operated yet as most of the toothpaste is theoretically still broken. I still see Tridents on there but toothpaste does brighten up Kings Heath
