Were have YW B1OL's gone

[lgr]

What on Earth are you talking about? There's been nothing else on the 27 for the last couple of weeks now, I've seen no Scanias at all (and mind you it goes past my house)... also apparently one was spotted on the 6 the other day too.

Yeah, 1413 was on the 6 strangely enough, along with 1423 on the 37.

saw 1918 the other day on the 27, but can't see where your coming from there Nathan as I got on 1408 the other day as well

The 27 on Thursday was Ominilink operated or two journeys were omlink operated, i was just curious as  i havent saw many B1OLs from YW lately

[Stu]

They probably don't have very many left, and they'll mostly only appear on the 27 anyway.

[Nathan4775]

the 2/3/ used to be B1OL operated, some of YW tridents still have the 3A on there L.E.D.'S

[Stu]

Yes, the 2 and 3 used to be operated by B10Ls (B-ten-L, not B1OL!  ;)), but following customer complaints about overcrowding, YW received more Tridents so they could be double-deck operated again, and the B10Ls were slowly withdrawn, leaving just enough to use on the 27 service.

Im guessing the over crouding was at Peak times

[Stu]

It was overcrowded at most times of the day, mostly between Billesley/Yardley Wood and Birmingham, I never ever saw a full B10L (or Trident) leave Acocks Green on the 3!

Probally becuase you got frequent 37 to Birmingham plus its faster

But not everyone wants to get from Acocks Green to Birmingham. The 3 could be partly subsidised, as the Acocks Green - Shirley/Hall Green bit is mainly used by OAPs, whilst the Shirley/Hall Green to Birmingham bit is busier.

and the B10Ls were slowly withdrawn,

Until single decks return to the 2/3 again in the future, as per tradition! Lol.

True, but that's not the point of this topic, I only mentioned Acocks Green as that part of the 3 route is never overcrowded, even with single decks, anyway the 37 doesn't go to Billesley or Yardley Wood.
