Arriva - Unusual Workings

[arrivadays]

What routes does Bridgnorth operate, besides the 890?

I think they used to operate the Stourbridge 142 until recently, before that moved to Wednesfield.

The only other route I can think of is the Bridgnorth to Kiddy 297.

If that goes, surely theres no point in Bridgnorth stopping open?

If there's only the 890 otherwise, surely that would move to Wednesfield, as the closest depot?

I think these are the routes Bridgnorth depot (albeit using Telford vehicles) operates:

99/99A - Telford <-> Bridgnorth (day time and some evening journeys)
115/116 - Bridgnorth <-> Weston Heath
141 - Ludlow <-> Bridgnorth
297 - Bridgnorth <-> Kidderminster
436 - Shrewsbury <-> Bridgnorth
890 - Bridgnorth <-> Wolverhampton

Is the 890 still supposed to get Versa?

Today, the 2 buses were an SB120 and 3417, a great bus. I had a ride on each and apart from a lack of leg room, the Scania was phenomenal. On the other hand the SB120 was diabolical. Need I say more?

It depends what Telford gives Bridgnorth... It used to be Versa - but now it's just any old bus. Sometimes it's been an MPD...

They were using a full size dart on there recently

And the 584/585/586/587

Yeah - I'm guessing that 2346 and 2342 are now staying with us at Telford - possibly 2274 as bob has stated in a previous post - but not seen that yet...

S629khn still don't have a working dest display so maybe its just on temporary loan I bloody hope so, heap of shit lol

S629 is with us at cannock "on long term loan" no doubt 2346 and 2342 will be here shortly 2361 blind doesn't work because of faulty wiring also we've recently gained 2131 v424dgt

2346 seems alright, but I haven't seen 2342 - presumably it's okay...

2143 on Route 67 (Wolverhampton-Cannock) today. First time i've seen an E200 on there. Usually an An MPD or solo

[Bob]

Nearly always used to be solo then more recently nearly always a dart. That routes going on 1st sept, well not going but being run by another operator

[Bob]

Yea and the 23/23a also. Saw a slf dart of theres in  wolves the other day it looked smart and interior looked better than most of cannocks

Just some quick notes of yesterday's unusual workings in Telford:

-> Wright Pulsar / VDL SB200 on routes 11/22 and 33/55.
-> Optare Versa on Tesco Shuttle
-> R342 TJW on the 11/22 (presuming this transfer is long-term, as far as I can see)

Don't know whether 3489 on route 25 counts?

And today:

-> S346 YOG on route 33/55
-> 481-branded Optare Versa on route 33/55
