Stuharris 6360

4814 on the 276 today, a little unusual to see a 400 on the 276 during the week, its normally Tridents.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

4765 on the WA8/89 today.

I presume this is on me of the usual double decker boards. What time did you see this and where as then I can work out which departure I can catch it on this afternoon :)

Saw 4765 (the display showed 8 Pelsall) arriving in Walsall at 12:58. I assume it is for 13:05 departure.

1475 on 301, seen it departing Walsall bus station at 12:57.

I saw it at about 08:00 on Lichfield Road by the Jennie Lee Centre and Wednesfield High School going towards Walsall.

2140 - 957 [Non-Late Night/School etc.] It is noteworthy as according to the driver it was allocated a decker.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

It appears a few B7RLE's are appearing on the 957 recently due to 4899/09 VOR. Do you mean the board is supposed be be a decker or it had been one (change bus?)

No, as in, the board is supposed to be a decker as it does the rush hour from town. Standing load from city I expect, but I never hung around to find out.

547 should be fun on the 1545 departure from Sutton! Once upon a time that service used to be duped - but now I think it's usually just double deck operated?

639 on WN4 to today.

Blimey that is rare! seen a Merc on the 4 earlier as well.

Spotted 4002 on schools this morning, and then at 1125am it was heading up the ring road and into town on the 3. Spectra on the 3, somewhat rare.
Preserving a bit of West Midlands heritage with 1037 and 1849.

Spectra's are regulars on schools I believe :) 601 was on the 4 the other day with 639 and 1670 on the 5! The Spectra on the 3 was probably covering for a trident on that board although a nice spot :) (I'm still yet to get a ride on Spectron the 3)

Today:

4869 on WA8/89. Saw In Wednesfield Going towards Walsall about 16:05 (Caught it this evening on the 19:35 from W'ton that goes just to Bloxwich)
638 was on peak board 59/09 this morning (Never usually a B6)

EDIT: E400H 5417 on WN59 This evening

Are deckers on the 48 rare anymore? They've been on them consecutively every day since the star of this week... Another on today, I think it was 4640? - But It did have a flip dot matrix, so probably not...
