First Bus - Unusual Workings

Maybe deckers might become a regular thing on it? Could of been testing the water

[Bob]

Always used to be VR and olympian in the 90s mostly A reg ECW examples. Never saw a G-XRE on there. At some point it converted to Deltas. At what point was it renumbered from 260 to 101 and didn't there use to be an X express variant?

260 was Hanley - Stafford via Stoke
X60 was Hanley - Stafford via Newcastle

Many years ago G762XRE was on Staffords for at least 6 weeks solid as i used to catch the 260/X60 very regular before i could drive.

[Bob]

Was the X60 much quicker

[staffsdave]

not really unless there was a mad driver on it which there was plenty of them!

[staffsdave]

volvo B7TL/Gemini 32632 which has been recently seen on 101s seems to come out to play in the afternoon and evening. been regular on the 1435 M-F dep from Stafford and has been seen on late 101s aswel.

[Bob]

Are Newcastle running some boards on 101 maybe? Adderley green doesnt have any deckers does it?

[Bob]

At some point in the 90s there was four 35 seater Darts branded for the 260/X60. I cant imagine they coped at all or lasted long on them? It ran at a lower frequency back then and surely they weren't in any way big enough!

AG have had some deckers on loan from Newcastle, not normally any there

[staffsdave]

k926-929XRF were the 4 branded darts

[Bob]

Must have been horrendous on the route.  Shame the deckers are only going to be temporary on the 101 :-(

[ade]

Potteries 26/26A branded, PMT retro liveried 60171 on the 6 earlier. 

[Sayeed]

E200 ex JPT Travel on the 144 if anyone wants it
