Noteworthy Workings - October 2014

[fleetline6477]

2129 is on the 99 today. Weird for a Sunday, when there should be around 7 spare E200s not in use.

I am really surprised about that and I think it is really poor. When full length buses are on the 99 they are unable to complete the loop around Welsh House Farm due to narrowness of roads, parked cars and the angle of the hill.

Especially on a Sunday with most people at home, even more cars around

5407 was due to work another trip on the 59 before going back to garage (board 59/02)

I don't recall seeing 2014 earlier so possibly a swap.

Personal opinion but I don't think the 99 should serve Wisley way anyway, always has been a bit tight for my liking even back in the days of the 636

2129 did manage to get round the Wisley Way bit of the 99 route on Sunday (at least on the journey I was on).
