Some unusual workings?

I understand the 238 will shortly be all operated by Mercs, these will come off the 243/244 allocation. And the 222 Sunday operation will no longer interwork with the 141.

222 has begun to see many more Mercs, alongside the B6's, and Enviro 400s on Sundays interworking with the 141.

The 222 didn't interwork today when I was at merry Hill about 1500hrs (Sunday service)

Ok I stand corrected! 510 appeared on the 2042 141 to merry hill ex Cradley Heath tonight...and the journey is part of.... The 222 running board!

I remember, some time ago now, just after the 141 got transferred to PE, and when it used to run via Blackheath, seeing a b6le (can't remeber which one!) doing the full run. I can remember thinking the people of Brum must be shocked :o.
Long live 4001!

Two Pensnett unusual workings - 2090 on the 205 last Wednesday (1700 ex Kingswinford) and 4803 on the 276 today (leaving Merry Hill towards Dudley at about 0950).

If I recall correctly, didn't BC used to use Enviro400 and Plaxton Presidents on the 141? I can remember on the Sunday that Lea Hall closed, and the 9 and 141 transferred from BC to PE, there were Mercs all over the 141 that day!

And actually I can remember also catching a B6LE on the 120 from Broad Street, that was a cramped experience!  :o

Not that rare an occurence really. I think at some point, every type of vehicle used at AG has appeared on the S1 route at some point. Certainly, I've seen B6LEs, B10Ls, Omnilinks, Geminis and Presidents all appearing before. I may be wrong, but I may even have seen a Metrobus the once!

Been a couple of B10Ls recently used on the 1 service, AG must be trying to get every last bit of mileage out of them!  ;D

2082 of PE was on the 276 last night heading to Dudley

I hardly ever see transbus tridents on the 14, so whenever I see it, it's seems like a surprise, especially considering the 14 has branded dennis tridents

630 on the 45? That's got to be the best one. 4431 on the 14 isn't reall a rare, it uses a mix of all types of BC Trident, as with the 90 and 97.

I saw an omnilink on the 73, if you can call that rare
