244 on the 336 I think its unsual to see this bus in normal passenger service.



It's not unusual to see any double deckers being used on most of the town services around West Bromwich as services like the 405/406/447 used to see b6le's but there not enough of them to go round now so double deckers are used to fill in and are becoming a regular occurance but are most services there no need for them the mercs do the job in terms of capacity

I would say that the Double Deckers shoud be used on 448/448A/448B/451/449/74/75 then isnt there enough mercs to cover the rest of the routes such as 450/444/447 etc, becuase I think doubles would be wasted on them routes.

Today (Sunday 15th July):

Volvo B7RLE 2062 on route 11/32/33
Trident 4384 on route 11/32/33

Volvo B7RLE can be common on the 11 on Mon-Sat but this is sunday so this is unusual.

B7RLE on the 32/33 are rare at anytime

Tridents on the 11/32/33 are unusual.
The allocation in the week for the 11/32/33 is Spectras,O405N and sometimes excels with a optare solo on the 11.

On a sunday the allocation for the 11/32/33 is O405N.

The 11/32/33 interwork on sundays.

Trident 4609

There were 3 Spectras on the 59 today which is more than usual.

I saw Spectra 4001 in service 2 stand(M). There were passengers getting on it and it wasn't displaying anything on the destination screen. So i don't know if it was on the 2 or not. It could of been on the 255 as the 81 was in Stand L. Can Anyone help me with this?

There was 2 B7RLE on the 69 today instead of 1. One was 1777 and can't remember the Fleet number of the other.

also to add a 74/5 branded daf on the 2 usual crap allocating by arriva cannock as i have said numerous times if your going to brand a bus make sure you have enough and spares to cover it otherwise dont bother.  This is a pet hate of mine all buses should be non branded so can be used anywhere as it looks stupid NXWM are a lot better they have branded but use them correctly most of the time plus remove it when the buses are moved to other routes, diamond are another company whom are as bad as arriva, and finally branding does more damage than good as when it is removed the bus paintwork looks awful and its needs re painting so a waste of money having a new bus when in say 12 months it needs re painting
