And i don't exactly understand who he is refering to as "The Children"???

Anyway back on topic how many mercs are on the 276 Mon-Fri? Its just i noticed 2 on consecutive departures

It was quite an unusual day today Nathan, i only saw 2 Mercs on the 276 to, also there were several B7rles on the 243/4, i think the days of the Merc at PE may well be very numbered. Although the efforts to keep 1515 on the road must be applauded, the very early Mercs to me are far more superior than the later ones.

Indeed, usually no more than a couple of Mercs on the 276 in the weekdays now. Usually a B7RLE and a trident or two. Then weekends are mostly trident with an E400 thrown in for good measure too. What the route needed anyway! :)

According to an earlier post 1515 is being fitted with a e400 engine isn't it 😉😊?

::) yeah, all the mercs are, so they can be used in birmingham on frequent routes. It'll work out cheaper than buying a whole new bus  :P

I thought it was just 1515 I nearly had a heart attack when you said all of them because they were supposed to be scraped in 2015

[John]

That was a joke  ;D

1515 has had the engine out of accident damaged 1654

[Ashley]

Thanks Christopher. I was looking for them onsunday which never worked out as planned (never does)

As for the post about sunday 244's. I had to edit the post as Matt pointed out the fleetnumbers were the wrong way round, or the departure times lol

4818 was on the 246 tonight probably the only sighting worth mentioning. Haven't personally seen an E400 on an evening 246 for a while.
