A couple of unusual workings noted today - 3018 on the 6 (first Merc seen on the route) and 3812 on the 8.
Only Guy Arabs (a choice of 63) stopped at my front door 1957-1964!

Gemini 4205 is on the 780 this afternoon!

I head from one of the inspectors about that while I was waiting for a 110, 4204 also had to be taken out of service for some reason.

Merc on the 116 today as well, no idea which one, didn't realize what it was until I'd past it.

The 14.05 Tamworth to Birmingham 110 was worked by Merc 3007 today. This may be pretty regular now for all I know.

It seems to happen quite a bit, Cannock must have a Gemini again for the Amazon contract or something...

Not seen nothing of a gem at Cannock just the normal 2 dafs

West Bromwich allocated Enviro 200 was on the 110 this evening, that must rank as one of Tamworth's rarest workings!

Probably a B9 off the road or on the 780...

Tamworth only 8 deckers for the 110, which are all required, so the minute one breaks down they have to find a single decker to use... IMO they could do with an ex London B7 or something to supplement what they have.
