Are Tridents common on the 70/70A, cause i just saw one depart Walsall on the 70A
Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...

It was at Bus Driver Of The Year in Blackpool yesterday

Could it be the WB one that is there for type training?

Haven't seen any sightings reported of any E200's numbered as high as Walsall's on test/delivery

I believe 834 has been down the town doing driver training, so will probably be that one

It's 845, parked near 834 outside the traffic office

834 & 845 parked up around the bus station area this morning.

(Only saw them as I'd gone to the dentist so I was sorta late for work! )

Are tridents common on the WA7? I saw one around 17:50 in Castlefort.

Alex

Relatively common, along with B7RLE's, i think they're the primary allocation for the route

4774 was driven away from WB bus station at 3:20 by an engineer

What should be the or what will the allocation be for the 301 & 302 now, bearing in mind at least one Omnilink has gone from Walsall to elsewhere,  plus double deckers are appearing more now?

In my opinion, it should be B7RLE on both routes with spare Omnilinks not used on the Dudley & West Bromwich routes reallocated on other Walsall routes.

(Bearing in mind B7RLE do appear  on the 301 as well, plus as Diamond are starting on the 302 soon, I think a consistent allocation of a certain type of vehicle could work, especially if Diamond don't have any spare B7s themselves & use anything spare in the depot. 

And if Nx could brand the 301 & 302 jointly as 'Every few minutes between Walsall & Bloxwich' even better! )

Especially seeing as Diamond seem to be providing a quality, well-used service in the 301 with high backed seats on the brilliant ex Transdev "value" eclipses which seem to appear a lot on there. I hope the 302 service gets a similarly high standard of vehicle!

What routes are walsalls new e200s going to be used on?  The 34/38/39?
