Trident 4609

5401 on WN32/33 (And 11's due to interworking) tonight. I caught it on the 20:25 33 from Wolverhampton and rode the full Northwood Park Loop and back to W'ton. It appeared to replace 4018 which i saw about 20:24 being driven out of bus station back to garage by an engineer.

Departed on the 11 just after 9pm (Was loading up as i departed on 4563 on the 21:00 59 ex Bus Station)

That one's got about a bit today, it was on the 24 this morning peak, another (fairly) unusual working.

P419 EJW

A Merc on WN 4, seen it past the Barclays Bank at 13:36. Unfortunately, I could not see the fleet number because I was walking in the middle of Dudley Street.

Eclipses are the norm on the S1. Scanias occasionally venture onto it.

My Observations today:

- 2 Omnilinks on the 16
- 1 Omnilink on the 2 (Heard it appears often, but I only see Tridents)
- 1 Ticket Branded Trident on the 24
Check out my photos on Flickr & Instagram

I wasn't disputing the observation, as I said I haven't been to Solihull myself recently; as the balance of single decks at AG has shifted towards the Omnilinks, and the S1 only uses one bus, it's quite possible that an Omnilink is used more regularly now.

I'm not a regular in Solihull either so I just wasn't sure. Grateful for your responses though
