Mostly Olympians due to fuel consumption. Depends how many vehicles are required though. A couple of Spectras were reported on rail replacement yesterday

Sh4318

I imagine there would be more buses required today than yesterday because there will be 2 an hour running from Tame Bridge to Rugeley, where yesterday, there was one an hour to Walsall, with the other extending to Rugeley

Hope to travel on a few rail replacement Green Buses tomorrow morning on me way to Wythall, saturday service on the trains with the whole walsall rail line replaced  = half hourly buses, so there should be a nice variety ;)
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

In case anyone was unaware Tridents 124 & 125 have left the Midlands fleet and are now in London. Shame as I was quite fond of 124!

As of last Friday I've ridden all TGB Spectras except 206 :)

380 on my school route (HC2) today, love it on the rare occasion they put an Olympian on there!

Is it me or is the Chase line always on rail replacement at weekends?

205 was in Stafford at  tea time yesterday showing WB4 - presumably route learning, although as it passed the station they seemed to be looking to see if there were any punters!

No it was in service. West Brom played Arsenal last night in the League Cup and TGB were operating their WB football services

I looked at the WBA website and didn't see anything
