Trident 4609

@John, i'd like to see one of the new arrivals (Won't be long before the E200's arrive surely?) on the 28.

What are the loadings like on the 28 may i ask?

@Nathan Didn't Tony say they may arrive the end of this week? Suppose it will take a few days to get them into service.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Not sure Stu. Must have missed that post. I'd imagine they will arrive within the next few days or within the next week

I would like to see that as well, if it is going by this week, with 320 on there 3 times, then there might be a chance to see a Enviro200 on there. If West Brom are still set to start to receive theirs tomorrow, then we might get our 4 within the next week or two.

To be honest, loadings on 320 was not bad, the most I had was a full sitting load (It may have been more if I was on time, but due to an accident on route, and the diversion been gridlocked, I was running with an OmniLink for my last trip back from Heartlands)

EDIT - 320 seems to only work one of the afternoon boards on the 28. It was on 28/16 today
