@Dom Think the old saying It's a PN bus on a PN route comes to mind at the moment, as at least 823 and 868 are on the 276 also.

Don't quite know whats going on but E200s on the daytime 276 don't seem to make sense as sometimes the B7RLEs struggle to cope?

Hence my comment about PN being short of buses??

PN now have 3 less B7RLE's since 2078-80 moved to BC

Would have thought the E200s should go on the 289 then, the 276 is already very busy at times and reducing capacity will not help.

The 289 is very lightly used.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Is it boat! I catch the 289 almost daily and E200s would not cope on it at all! The 17:10 from West Brom yesterday, if that was the stumpy E200 or a normal E200 it would struggle and the driver would of had to refuse people. It's used well throughout the day as well.

The 205 should be a candidate for an e200.

How's the numbers doing on the 244 between Halesowen and QE? From what I seen a dramatic decrease compared with the 99

Do PN have there full allocation of buses at the moment?

At 15:15 today the only servicable bus was 4429, with a 9 branded MMC and 2 B7RLEs parked in the dead box.

I know at that time a lot of peak buses will have left, but only having 1 spare bus doesn't leave much if you get a couple of breakdowns?
was at garage today from a quick look around there's a crimson of the road Rta damage near side front by doors  there is a platinum of the road in bays having work done  and there's still tridents having ad blue tanks fitted and a 44xx trident was just towed back

The 205 should be getting a LWB E200 and the spare SWB E200 according to an inspector friend of mine. If not it should be B7's and LWB E200s. Deckers are only meant to be used as a last resort. The same goes for E200s on the X96 and for SWB E200s on the 243/4.

Just wondered as there appeared to be chaos at RHH this afternoon, a B7RLE displaying staff bus plus another B7RLE and a Trident displaying nothing blocking the bus stops.
