No Christopher, no deckers on the 297 (low bridge in Old Hill), but you can have them on the 243/4, you just have to be careful In Cradley Heath on the 243.

You wouldn't see Spectras on Pensnett services.

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

There is usually an O405N on the 5 most days
