Whys that?

It was just Karl's comment about Hybrids coming to PE in his signature, with PE losing the 53 and presumably WB will continue to operate the 129, so was thinking maybe they are moving the 1 over to PE. After all, can't see them taking the Hybrids off the 22/3, but at the end of the day, just me guessing!

I couldn't see the 1 moving to PE. If i'm right, the majority of trips start/finish at Tettenhall Wood or Wolverhampton City Centre so would increase dead mileage.

I would agree @Nathan , but 1 is included in the changes for 15 Nov for route and timetable?

His comments have been around the 99 QE - Gornal Wood, 129 B'ham - Merry Hill, and hybrids to PE. He said 2 out of 3 were true, if so I'd guess it's the first 2.

I suspect that may be a city centre change along with the 59 (If they are big changes then i will be very disappointed!)

Guess we are not going to know the truth until further details are published!

Can't see the 1 coming to PE because wouldn't type training be needed? Although E400s have operated until recently at PE are they different enough to warrant training?

Yes, the dash on the Hybrids are different from the old Enviro400s that were on the 9. So type training would be needed

If and a big if the 129 is coming to merry hill, I wonder if it will follow the old or part of the old 258 route?

I think that the 99 one is b***ocks, if i'm honest. But perhaps, Karl wasn't referring to a version of hybrid which was in the fleet at the time i.e. 4798, so maybe, that could go into service at PE? Just a guess, but you never know?
Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...

Would have "thought", it will be 53 route from Merry Hill to Bearwood, then via current 129 route to City?

Is there a need to make the 53 corridor have extra capacity? Are there good loadings along the route most of the time?

Yes but if the rumours are correct, the 53 is withdrawn between Merry Hill & Bearwood?
