I know E200's can appear from time to time but wasn't sure about mercs. Btw do you see the 5 every day?

I know E200's can appear from time to time but wasn't sure about mercs. Btw do you see the 5 every day?

It has become an unusual sight since 451 has changed to the 5. Mercs were the original allocation - but it seems that Presidents are the allocation now. With the occasional Wright Gemini.

1777 on the 77 is quite uncommon. You'd usually get Tridents, Omnilinks, E400s (sometimes), and Geminis. But it isn't the first time an eclipse has been on the 77 and I doubt it will ever be the last... See: http://wmbusphotos.com/NXWM/1750-1953/1787.html

*I know of these services as my auntie lives in Sutton Coldfield, where all these services pass. :) lol

Well the Sunday allocation on the 77 is B7RLE operated and i have seen a few in the week but recently it seems to be mainly trident operated

1640 on the 53
4545 on the 126
4609 on the 126

Christopher, the Noteworthy Workings thread is for unusual workings only, those noted above are standard allocations, and I very much doubt they will be of any interest to anyone else, Winston

[P419 EJW]

Also Today:

A B10L on WA7

A friend told me it was 1475. 😊 It's interesting to see 7 having a B10L recently - it was 1474, 1419 and now 1475.

WN Spectra 4004 0n route 126 heading up towards Dudley from Burnt Tree Island around 1135, probably having worked something like 0910 Wolverhampton and 1045 Birmingham. I attempted to catch it on its next journey from Birmingham at 1345 but 4546 turned up and driver confirmed it was swapped for the Spectra.
