I am aware of the main allocation :) But with ex YW E400's moving to WB, i have seen a couple of E400's here and there but i do not see the 83/9 often enough to define as noteworthy.

Thats a valid point. I just go by the spreadsheet !

4952 on the 83/89.  Is this noteworthy?

Yeah, pretty much. Anything that isn't B7TL can be considered as noteworthy

On the Portland rd services yesterday bulk of vehicles used were gems good to see, quite a few were 4700s, I wander if the 4700 gems could be placed on the 127/8/9 more than enough to cover all the boards.
Good to be back on broad St on the weekends it's free live entertainment even if it makes us late, well I left every inbound and outbound journey on time, on my last journey I was only ten minutes late getting to ivy bush not bad really in the past it was more like 15/20 mins plus late granted its early days, I guess the coming bank holiday will be different story.
Passengers waiting at the George Warley were amazed to see the 2214 on time they had braced themselves for a long wait, smiles all round.
On personal level it was nice to be greeted by people with big smiles on broad St rather than bullshit you get on Dudley rd services.

Looks like there is an ex X96 branded Merc parked in the rear car park. 1631 or 1705 I guess if its a withdrawn one

Good to see 83/89 operated by majority placky volvos of late , with the up coming emission changes will services that have a frequency of 30 minutes or less require minimum of euro 3 spec bus.
IMO services such 48/49 may be others at WB could make use of  plackys as they have years left in them, in the peak the 49 does carry standing loads at times especially when schools kick out.
It's not pleasant at times when these loud obnoxious kids are mixed in with pensioners, moms with there babies. At least with a decker every one gets space.

The crimson livery does suit the e400s. Look forward to when the single decks go on

[Liberator9]

Fairly sure the Scanias will get into it in the near future - the YW batch in particular would be ideal as they only operate the 6/27 (well and the 84) - if they were put into Crimson then that would mean a good proportion of YW have Crimson buses and routes.

i thought NX said it was two-tone maroon nor crimson

[Chris2301]

'If' single deckers are repainted into Crimson

Hopefully they do.  8)

Has wb sole scania ventured out?

Presumably WB drivers will require driver training/refreshing on this particular bus type!

A Scania @ WB, what ever will see next !
