One from Monday

1560 on the 80 (16.30 peak journey from West Bromwich).
It was an all day board I saw it out at 10PM
Is there a lack of Euro 3  deckerbuses at WB, there seems to be a president/ E200 on something everyday

Yeah, this board comes out the garage then stays out all night. 1607 was on it today (left 10 mins late)

OH25

there was a Merc on the 74 this morning around 10am heading out of West Bromwich
I believe it 1668 if my memory serves me right

Another Solo on the 28 again today (286).

There seems to be a few OmniLinks off the road at the minute. 1839/1840/1841 and a few others either on the pits or in the garage today, plus 1869 is off the road due to a car running into the back of it

I woul imagine it would depend on what is allocated from the start of the board unless Omnilinks are specifically allocated to boards that stay out in the evenings?

There is usually 1 or 2 Geminis on the 37 daily and they do use enviros on the 6 if 1 or 2 Omnilinks or Tridents are off the road so both are not unusual :)
60 Birmingham - Cranes Park
72/72A Solihull Station - Chelmsley Wood
73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

So do E400's on the 6 and Gemini's on the 37 happen regually during the evening too or do they usually allocate Omnilinks to the boards that stay out in the evening?

All the figures are approximate, so your guess is as good as mine. It's better to use a Merc or President (if nothing else is available) on a Birmingham route and get fined then cancel the working

Those figures are pretty accurate. You'll also get 8-10 on the 5 and 83/89. 2 are away for refurb. That leaves around 10 spare.

The PVR of the 83/89 is 9, I wasn't including Presidents in my figures :P
