Some unusual workings?

[Mike360]

Today, 1888 was on the 636 and I also saw a Diamond Hybrid on the 417. Diamond Hybrid Versas 30130 and 30135 were on the 002 yesterday 19th April.

There is a hybrid on the 404E aswell today too, 1888 on the 636 are you sure?, also there was a gemini interworking the 405/6 which i have never seen before.

Not saying your wrong mike, but are you sure it wasn't 1790 or 1792? or even 1808.

Viewed 1809 in Castle Bromwich on the 59 tonight.

The hybrids are normally appear on the 404E on a sunday along with centro's but saturday there were 2 versa's and a centro, im sure most diamond routes will see versa's at some time as the rest have been/ or are being delivered.

Nice to see an increase in capacity on the 238 with larger single deckers it really needed it hope its now fully merc operated weekdays

120 is B7RLE operated Mon-Sun already  ;D

140 is BR7LE operated Mon-Sun already with the odd Merc ;D which soon wont be able to enter B'Ham, So this new emmison has its ups  8)

& I didnt know about 238/297 being BR7LE operated an the 140 & 241 interwork so therfore the 241 would have B7RLE's anyways ;D

& what about service 276/X96

[Nathan4775]

An I thought them new Hybrids were for the 56/56A but so far 2 hybrids operate that route an the other journeys are operated by Dennis Dart SLF's/Volvo B7RLE (Pn B45F), so therfore were are the Hybrids going other than on the 404E

Pensnett seem to be moving their buses around more since they got the B7RLE's.  For instance, at Merry Hill this morning 4804 was on the X96 to Wrens Nest, while 2084 was operating the 141 to Birmingham.

One 141 card is B7 and you can bet that X96 is the one that departs late from the garage prob got no buses!

There's been a number of the alx200 small darts on the 405/6 recently and at peak times these routes can see double deckers so i bet it was a tight squeeze using these buses, but a smaller bus is better than no bus i suppose
