@lynx1103, I don't mean to 'rain on your parade' - but the picture shows it on the 7. Did it change service, not too sure about these WA routes...

It was allocated to W7A-01 board at 1630 to replace 4132 Walsall which does

7A 1630 Walsall
7A 1656 Castlefort
7A 1730 Walsall
7A 1756 Castlefort

With WB losing 4 single deck (564, 569, 1702 & 3602) and one double deck (4115) so far without replacement and two buses away for refurb they will be working to the limit with fewer spares. They have managed to get a full service out yesterday and today without borrowing from other garages, so a few odd workings are likely. It is possible their first new buses may arrive Friday.

1475 is on the 311 and left Dudley about 7pm

[Trident 4609]

4572 on evening 11/32/33's. Currently following it down Stafford Rd.

And 508 is still on the 59 as of 20:20. I wonder whether this will make it till the end of service? Very rare to have a B6 on 59's at this time (Unusual to get them full stop). 9 times out of ten the driver usually gets it swapped for a Trident but not this evening....

@Nathan Maybe/Hopefully the driver is a B6 fan?

Well it isn't one of the regular evening 59 team (Or the daytime 59 rota) so he probably wouldn't get the bus swapped. Its usually the regular evening 59 drivers that get Spectra's/B6's/Mercs swapped if they get allocated to late nights.

633 was also on WN81 this afternoon

Come to think of it i do recall seeing another B6 leave W'ton on the 81. Must have been the same one you sighted
