As far as I know, the only double at WB that is out of action is 4230, due to a refurb

& 4296 is still away

[Trident 4609]

Maybe more double deckers were allocated to other routes like the 42/3 or some of the single deckers on the 5 today replaced breakdowns as 4 single deckers on the 5 (1585 was taken off and put onto the 83) is not a common sight

[uniquicity]

1585 not has a grey front panel on (under the right indicator) and has lost its Mercedes badge :(

Was it missing a panel whilst parked up?

[uniquicity]

No, its front was intact when I saw it last parked up. The grey panel looked primed and ready to paint

1585 was at Bilston on WB42 around 1730 this evening

42 doesn't go to Bilston. Do you mean the 43?

Had 1582 on the 48 this morning, it absolutely stunk of diesel. Good job nobody was smoking at the rear.

If you drop a cigarette in Diesel all that will happen is the cigarette will go out, you need a lot higher temperature or pressure than a naked flame to set fire to diesel

[uniquicity]

Yeah, I was probably exaggerating. My defense is that I was still high on diesel fumes when I wrote the post ;)

(Will see soon if it is still in service)
