I don't quite understand what is going on at PE at the moment. They were given 11 Tridents for the 246, yet lately it has gone partly back to Merc/B7rle's, and the Tridents are being used on the 53. 2 boards on the 53 need to be DD, but other than that singles will manage fine. X96 & 276 some days have DDs, others it back to the Mercs,

Would have thought at this time of the year, the X96 & 276 cry out for all DD service?

Indeed, hopefully at the very least tyey get better buses i.e the B7RLE's. But yes, Im pretty darn sure the 53 cant compete with the X96 and 276 for DD most of the time.

Let alone the 289 which it interworks with!

Very True. This cant just be a thing whilst buses are transferring. It makes no sense for this prolonged amount of time. Can karl or richie or anyone please press this issue forward haha.

So glad 4802 was my X96 home this evening, between Merry Hill to Dudley it was absolutely heaving, a Merc would have had to turn passengers away this evening and that is no exaggeration

2083 is on the 243/4 today, sadly this will become more and more commonplace over the coming months :(

Let's see what happens after all the Tridents have transferred before jumping to conclusions ;)

Has anybody got an identity of the withdrawn T-FOB in the "dead boks". Is it 1646 or a different Merc?

A few of us have deducted that it was 1646, I can't remember who

I'm sure we'll find out when the fleetchanges are announced, merely curious that's all. Thanks Matt

It may be a transfer, not officially comfirmed

Richie, who works at Pensnett, has said it is a transfer. That's enough for me.

[Trident 4609]

I knew i read it somewhere on here, Thanks for that :)

PE need to look at 826s destination display, only the half showing the number was working, the other side was randomly flashing on & off when i saw it at Merry Hill Centre earlier.
