Some unusual workings?

Double deckers use to be on the 410 on sundays as it interworks with 401 but now instead of double deckers they use mercs on a sunday. I think as more mercs are being withdrawn the double deckers at West Brom are appearing on quite a few of the town services rather than just the service into Birmingham and the 451

The 874, which is a morning schools bus service to Bishops Walsh, Walmley, seems to have changed to single-deck operation of late; historically it's always been a dd.  I think the bus runs light into Sutton Coldfield after dropping off the kids and then works one of the 9** cluster (possibly the 907?) but don't quote me on that!

1834 and 1837 noted this week.

Plus 1669 on the 255.  WN really do have problems finding enough available Tridents at present.

I saw two Hybrid on the 002 might have been three but I did see for sure 30130 and 30136, They've been appearing on the 002 regularly now, are they still being used on the 56.

The 255 regularly has 0405s on anyway. Tridents aren't infrequent, but the Mercs regularly appear.

Since when? The 255 has been solid Tridents for months, single deckers only normally appear on Sundays now or occassionally covering a breakdown etc

I saw a Merc on the 90 route earlier, it had 55 in the rear display so suggests to me that it was a BY vehicle.

I didn't realise that BY ran some journeys on the 90, it muct have been a school run extra or something was about 1530hrs.

To back Winston up, the 255 is officially 8 Trident duties and has been since the 43xx Tridents arrived at Wolverhampton in January.

I'm not involved with the company, so wouldn't know anything official, but living on the route there are quite frequently Mercs on there.

30129 also on the 417, i believe only 4 are used off peak during the day on the 56 and the other 4 get used on other services such as the 002,301,404E and 417.
