6942 appears to have been out of use for a couple of days - is there a problem or has coincidence made it a spare bus?

4474 hasn't been in use since April/May but these aren't PE buses....

Any idea why 6990 (a WB bus) was on the 12 yesterday?

It was my understanding that PE solely operated the 12 on Sundays

Duties and boards changed yesterday

[karl724223]

From Sunday 5th December
On Sunday's service 2 and X10 will interwork again
Also on x10 there is increased milage on that route on mon to sat boards
The extra bus is out all day now

Is it just me, or is there a shortage of deckers in the NXWM fleet?

The 12s and 13s can get rammed during peak time but both routes are overran with B7RLEs

The 80 sees more Omnilinks these days

830 and 870 on PN 9. In fact 4 buses on the 9 at the moment are non platinum vehicles

Another OmniLink on the 16 today, this time 7021. Not sensible to allocate these on it as on both occasions the buses reached capacity

4597 on the X21

If there is a shortage of euro 6 double decks maybe the soon to be surplus WA 48XX could add extra double decks to the NXWM fleet maybe?
Some Scanias converted to training vehicles to maybe?

Just seen a UID bus parked on the back with satellite dishes on the roof.

Any idea where it's from?

No, it is just dumped in the scrapyard until they bother collecting it. It was dumped in NEAT, Aston when NX took over, then moved to Wednesbury, now at PN

Does PN have any NX coaches stored there during the night as I have seen a few NX coaches around Kingswinford recently
