Unusual bus, unusual location.

4511 on the WB 45 at Walsall Bradford Place!

First NX double decker into BP for some years surely?

Only other recent time I can think of was Boxing day, then the 4 was completely Trident operated. Good spot anyway  :D

Well, not years. Months. :) See my sighting on 45 here. http://wmbusphotos.com/forum/index.php?topic=2274.msg69296#msg69296

The last decker I saw on that corridor that wasn't a photograph was a Metrobus on the 405E, now that is going back...

2080 making a racket on the 9 this afternoon. Hardly any NX B7s to be seen in Halesowen these days.

Noteworthy day on 301s

B10 1433, 4 Volvo B7s (I think 1752, 1767 and 1771 were among them) and 2 tridents 4132 and 4129. No sign of any Scanias from what I saw which must be unusual.

Apart from Sundays with the 297E and 244 ;) 

I was told there was a Spectra on WN2 also.

2018 was taken off the 59 early this evening and swapped with 4545 from board 59/08 (What should have been allocated in the first place!)

Still noisy then, perhaps it's permanent  ;)

4022 on the WN27

I've noticed a few Spectra's appearing on the 27 this week. I have also noticed an increase of B6's on the 25/A/C this week

I guess B7RLEs aren't unusual on the 24, been about 3 or more on there this week, arriving outside Four Dwellings towards terminus around 3:30(?)

In other news 4908 was on the 24 also, I haven't seen on in days, mostly been on the 22 when I see them in Harborne! (Holly May, 4906 i think, was on the 22s)

EDIT: Also, there was a ticket branded E200 on the 29A, around 4:20-ish towards town. Speaking of ticket branding, an e400 at BC has gained one, couldn't identify from afar, probably 4908? As the e400 was on the 24, has 4908 been on the 24 all day?

Tony has posted 809 as being on the 97 in Route Branded Buses Off Route (Despite not being branded for any route...)? Was it 808 or 809 then? :)

My typo - 808 on the regular 'anything goes' board that the hybrid sneaks onto occasionally.

It was 809 last time I photographed it last September
