Excels get on there quite often. Plus it's only every 20 to West Bromwich remember

[Ash]

Yeah thats why i said it would be quite overcrowded because it's every 20 minutes especially if the 75 is delayed coming from Birmingham which is very likely

7023 is now @ PB

That is why I post the fleet changes on the front of the main page, and list all the allocations next to the vehciles on the fleetlist pages. Both will tell you 7023 is at PB

[Stu]

Its been there for some time too now.  ::)

I've spotted a couple of the new B7RLEs on the 1 in the mornings recently, and a couple been sneaking onto the 37 too.

1430 - made a rare apperance on the 31

Not that rare really, it and several other B10Ls have made appearances on this service before.

1616 - Made a rare apperance on the 141

Up until recently, Mercedes O405Ns were commonly used on the 141 during the week.

5406 - Made a shocking apperance on the 24

Hybrids do get used on the 24 on Sundays, as not as many are needed for the 22 and 23.

Yesterday I saw a B7TL/ALX400 up at Maypole, not in service. It certainly wasnt a Trident. Plus there were at least 4 or 5 Tridents on route 50 (April 16th)

Could the B7TL have been working the PB Waterlinks service that goes through Maypole and the expressway towards Redditch.

I've also noticed an increasing number of Tridents on the 50, with Enviros finding themselves onto Solihull routes like the 6 & 49 with one being on the 2!

[Ash]

Would of been good to have seen it in West Brom pitty it didnt sneak onto the 404 never any double deckers on here since Walsall have taken over the service :(

Enviro400 4874 was seen in West Bromwich this afternoon out of service.

(Not a working as such but unusual to see one here).

[Ashley]

I didn't know Waterlinks was in that area. I saw it from a distance but I just found it unusual

[Stu]

I thought the PB Waterlinks contract service was for the Waterlinks business park off the Lichfield Road in Aston! And they usually use Optare Solos for that.

[Tony]

That is the Waterlinks contract, although it is a Scania (usually 7022) not a solo.

The one at the Maypole is the Brittanic Assurance contract

[Stu]

I stand corrected then! It did used to be an Optare Solo though, am I right?

[mranon]

there was 1661 a merc on the no.1 today. very unusual to see a single decker on there.
