Saw these today:
900 branded bus on the 23A then 24 - Already put this in Branded Buses thread
4800 on the 120
5510 on the 126
4911 on the 23
And a Volvo B7TL ALX400 on the 82

And one more, not sure if true, but I saw what I think was a 120E on an E400...

WN598 is on the 10 today so either the perton barrier is jacked or it has a portable actuator.
The B6's are spreading their wings as 555 was on the 6a yesterday morning

Some of the B6's have transponders for the 62A that was extended to Perton as of the 26th Jan. 598 was on another route this afternoon

See my initial comment. 598 did four and a half trips on wn10 this morning. It then did a couple of 62's and 62a's then 11's

That's where I saw it! On the 11 on Broad Street this afternoon :) Although you did not initially mention about the trips on the 62 ;)

Was the B6 on the 10 just an unusual work in or is there a board that works 10's then 62/A's?

Nathan, there is no interworking between the 10 and 62A. It was a mega rare working. I can't remember the full story as to why it happened. 598 failed first thing, so it was replaced by 2015 but that doesn't have a transponder so 598 was fixed and put on the 10 until a B7RLE with a transponder became available which came off the 2 around 11am so 598 went back on it's usual fun. That's pretty much the story as I was told it

Forgot to mention this yesterday.

Tuesday, 4th February, 2014.

1475 on 40, departed Wolverhampton Bus Station at 18:04, 10 minutes late for 17:54 departure. I didn't care, I enjoyed the ride to home on 1475!
