I don't know if I've missed something but according to Bus Times, E177 spent yesterday on a duty on the 529  - is this correct, and is it on loan to WN currently?

No it didn't, if you actually look at the journey history you'll see it was nowhere near Wolverhampton, and was just tracking inside Perry Barr depot, like it is today:

The system was logged on to a 529 journey at some point, presumably just for testing equipment, and someone forgot to log off, that's all this is. You see the same with some other vehicles that haven't been used yet.

The chevron off the side of the M6 is where the vehicles tracked location.

I did look at the map before I posted and it showed journeys on the 529 (Wolverhampton/Walsall), in accordance with the journeys it listed.

But thanks for the explanation. I have seen this before when the Coventry vehicles were being prepared - but the map did not show the actual journeys like this one. If it hadn't I wouldn't have posted the query.

Look at the tracking chevrons and then zoom in.

My mistake - you actually have to zoom out to see it, as on my smart phone, it centres on the 529 route (shows the stops with no arrows)! 

It shows the journey from Roberts to PB on 4/8/24 also!!

Yeah I thought it was a roundabout way to (eventually) get to PB!

Looks like E252 has finished its training duties, now being used in service at YW.
