So have all B6LE's finished service on PE routes now? :)

yeah 508/54/5/81 are at WN but 582 is still parked up at PE awaiting transfer to WN

[Trident 4609]

I want to catch 4197 and 4202 and also alreday in-service 4193 soon as i haven't rode a recently refurbed trident at PE yet

[Sh4318]

I want to catch a PE trident full stop, 4202 is one of the best in my opinion

[nitromatt1]

4195 is the best PN Trident which I've done so far, but I've still got most of them to do

Yes good to see the Tridents pretty much all in now. Conversely good to see an Enviro every day now on the 276 (excl Sunday). :)

Have any of the Enviros on the 276 been on running boards which go onto the 244 in the evening?

[nitromatt1]

Just to clarify, the following 244 departures (from Dudley) are on 276 running boards:

20:00 (06:42, 09:22, 12:02, 14:42 & 17:22 departures of 276 from Dudley), this board does not do a 243

21:00 (08:02, 10:42, 13:22, 16:02 & 18:42 departures of 276 from Dudley), this board does not do a 243

23:00 (08:42, 11:22, 14:02 & 16:42 departures of 276 from Dudley), this board does do a 243

I am pretty sure the 22:00 244 is a 243/4 board

So, if you see a double decker on any of the following 276 departures from Dudley, it should go onto a 244 later:

06:42
08:02
08:42
09:22
10:42
11:22
12:02
13:22
14:02
14:42
16:02
16:42
17:22
18:42

Yes same only rode 4195 an 4199 so far but 95 is a fast bus. Driver thrashed it flat out between Dudley and Russells Hall Hospital

Yeh its fast but as usual with 41's the brakes are shocking. Nothing like 4355... :-X

Took matt on his first Ride on his favourite B6 555 (As he calls it The screaming Cat) for the first time since it transferred to WN on the 28 today ;) Still has its distinctive screaming noise ;)

Was waiting for a 246 (16:39 departure from Stourbridge). 4193 had departed the bus station a couple of minutes previously the 4200 pulled into the stand displaying 246E to Russells Hall Hosp and pulled out 3 minutes before the 16:39 departure was due. Wasn't aware that there was a 246E to Russells Hall from Stourbridge. Maybe late running? Also to add 4200 was displaying 246E in a strange small font on the rear dot matrix display that i have never seen on a trident before. Us 4197 in service as it was reported as back at PE from repaint and also has 4202 came back from repaint?

4800 was on the 120, Around 2-3 E400's on the 246 and 4814 was on the X96 meaning 4201 was on the 9

Looking at the Tender Wins for companys Tony posted in the WMSNT it appears Diamond have won the 243 tender, Is this Evening and Sundays? If so will the 244 interwork with the 276 on Sunday daytime (Already interwork during evenigs) as matt says you can't operate a 244 on its own and the only route i can think of it interworking with is the 276.

Also it says WMT (NXWM) have won the 140 tender, Is this the current early sunday journeys operated by diamond?

There were some traffic hold ups between Brierley Hill & the old Harts Hill Garage yesterday, were they still on today because i noticed it was causing bunching of the buses on the 246. Suppose if you are going to do short journeys, Russells Hall Hospital is the best place to terminate them.

Somebody on here reported they had seen 4202 last week, but i haven't seen it yet, nor have i seen 4197 out of garage yet. Rather hoping 4135 will be next into Walsall for repaint, looks awful!

[Trident 4609]

Tbh i thought i thought 4135 would have already have been repainting while at WN. The rest of that batch which are of course at WA should be done soon (4129 will be done after repair) once the ex PB E400's are done. Will 4737(One in NX livery) get a refurb aswell?

[bususer12]

Anyone got details of the bus accident (on the 222?)
