2 Platinums on the 48 today.
1 was a branded 82/87 that left West Brom for Northfield at 10.15.
The other was 6991 or 2 which is doing the West Brom to Harborne runs only.

Speaking of Scanias, is the 89 100% Omnilink these days? I haven't seen a double on there for a while, would it have anything to do with the diversion near Rolfe Street?

There was a trident on there yesterday if I'm not mistaken.

Not quite its been moved to the back of the Engineering bays. Presumably to be stripped of parts before being scrapped.

I saw the engineers stripping the backend, the ad blue system and euro 6 exhaust traps very valuable still

Couple of changes coming up on October 27th

The daytime 45 journeys will be moving to Walsall however WB will still operate a couple of early morning and all late night journeys that interwork with 46.

We will also be operating the 10&10s (from BC) and 54/A (from Diamond).

Why is the 10 moving to West Bromwich? Doesn't make sense to me. Either they're thinking of combining the 54/A with the 10/H/S later on or the non-compliant BC tridents are finally being withdrawn.

mesub · September 24, 2019, 03:36:30 PM

10S moving from BC to WB?
Makes no sense to me

Real shame about the 54 been taken off diamond. One of my favourite routes and recognise fair few drivers who drive it from their days on the 142. Real shame that. Good luck keeping to time with that one
