Is 48 allocated all scania or is it split between E200 and scanias as i seen 820 and another e200 on there today

It's all Scania, although the odd E200 pops up every now and again

@Niall

A comment on Facebook seems to suggest the 48 has reverted back to deckers to cope with peak time loads. The OmniLinks are being used on the 50 circular

@Niall apparantly there is a President on there too. According to a Facebook Post, the allocation has changed because the Scania's can't cope with loadings. In the same post, it was said Scania's are now moved to the 50A/C....

Interesting if correct, with the increase in frequency from 30 to 20 mins there are a similar number of seats per hour as there were before (a few less, granted). Having said that, I've seen 48s bunching a bit more with the higher frequency.

Thanks @John and @Nathan, I thought it odd seeing the one this morning, then seeing  a second on my way home seemed really strange.

This must have begun today, although I haven't seen either route today, the 48 was Scania, and the 50A/C doubles all last week

Yes the comment said it had changed 'as of yesterday. I assume from the detail given the person who said it works at WB.

Interesting, I wonder if they'll use doubles (on the 48) on Sundays, like they used to

@uniquicity Rolling back the years that is ::), a president on the 87. Sure I heard an ALX400 down my road earlier (therefore on the 50A/C), can anyone confirm?

@John Stait - 4057 seems to have been on there all day. Didn't think anything of it at the time; although I did enjoy the sighting of a President on Colmore Row... :) I saw it around 1530(?)
