Most illusive Buses

582 on 243/244s today

John, do you remember where you saw this and when? I still need to photo it, so will head out to the bus station if it's still on

In Dudley, at around half 3 this afternoon. Think it was going out as the 244

Grrr I think it was the 18:30 from Dudley which goes out of service at Hayley Green!

I know how you feel Matt!!

Today was the very first time I have seen 1699 at West Bromwich. That was an elusive O405N at West Brom for me. Another one is 1651, I saw that on the 5 on my way home, but not able to get a picture.

Finally managed to find and photo 4163 on the 97 today.
4198 is now proving to be elusive, have only seen it once since de-branding, and with its LED display.

I'll keep an eye out on the 60, 900 & 957 for you John ;) because every time I see 4198 it's always on 1 of those 3 Routes

Managed to ride my two most elusive Enviros yesterday, 4813 (my favourite) and 4811 which I also love (one of the fastest ones).

582 is still proving ridiculously elusive, I have only ever seen it twice, never photographed or ridden it, despite it being regularly reported on the 243/4

Also, the first Merc I ever rode, 1520, has become very elusive for me; I haven't ridden it since, or photographed it at all

1649 is my most ridden Merc, however it has still somehow evaded my camera!

Haven't seen 1520 myself for a while, but it not around the garage.

1540 was parked up on the very left hand side of the garage all last week.

Yes that reminds me I haven't seen 1540 for ages either. Was going to say 1517 too, but just remembered it's been reported as withdrawn

I've seen 1520 in the last week or two, it was parked in the garage being mopped out
