Some unusual workings?

No, nothing under 4125 from the double deck fleet

Spectra 4006 was on the 126 this afternoon.

Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere, but do Spectras pass Birmingham's emissions "test"?

I remember someone saying anything past the 41** tridents pass the emissions, so spectras wouldn't because they were introduced 99/2000  :)

2 diamond hybrids on the 301 usually dafs or darts and some solos too had a ride on a hybrid seemed noisy for an electric vehicle charged by an engine can someone explain this was a smooth ride.  I know the engine did not kick in to recharge as i was at the back and would have been able to have noticed it.  Unless i am wrong as this hybrid stuff is new to me.

An unusual working that's certainly unusual, 706 on the 1 from WN. Its unusual to see a Single Decker on the 1 least of all an Excel, imagine that's really going to struggle if its still running come peak time this evening!

BC ominilink on 59 unsure which it was
BC Ominilink on 97 unsure of the fleet

BC ominilink on 59 unsure which it was

I know 1795 & 1807 were on the 59 today and 1795, 1796 & 1799 were on it yesterday and i've got a feeling they've converted the 59 to SD Operation or it could be a trial, if it has converted to SD i'm not suprised because it's mostly empty whenever I get on it :)

Caught 4001 on the 82 at 12:15.
Was very surprised to see a Spectra coming down the Moseley Road, been a while since I've been on one down the Deans Road. I had the whole top deck to myself for most of the journey  8)
While going through Heath Town I saw 4006 with it's hazards on (probably overheated like all the Spectras do lol) while it was on the 59.

Around 2:10pm 684 was on the 6 and 4608 (branded for the 59 day return) was on the 79.
Btw 1689 still has it's City Hop sticker from it's time at BY.

I think service's 59 & 60 are only used to Small Heath High Street, but 59 should be SD operated

17 is now Ominlink operated aswell  ;D

554 was on the 297 today if you could call that rare. There was also an Excel on route 4 today and a spectra on the 255

I know spectras were mainly used over the christmas, but I think it's pretty rare.

These aren't really rare workings, presidents and alx400s were used to replace geminis that been used on these routes.
Like when presidents and geminis appear on 74/E & 75/E

I agree not rare workings but you would think with all the gemini's that seem to be transferring to WB the 82/87 would be solid gemini operation but i think they get shared round with the 80 and 74/75 with no specific allocations from the gemini's from PB and AG as the '06' ones normally stop on the 82/87 but do stray onto other services

[4504]

Yeah, I agree, it's good seeing a range of doubles on all routes, I suppose soon, all these routes will have to be either gemini and b7 alx400 operated with the euro 2 emissions and presidents going on the 451 and moving to AG.

On another note, I rode 4703 on the 80, the other day.
