Most illusive Buses

[lynx1103]

244,4127,4128

are quite hard to find. They are ussally allocated to College Duties as they are fiited with a Tachograph.

They only ussally apear in service on saturdays and peak time

I saw 4127 on the 6 the other day and the 40 a week before that. haven't seen 4128 or 244 for abit. Personally i think 244 is a shed.

I saw 4565 the other morning on the 1 and 4609 on the 126 a few minutes later

I got a photo of 4372 on the 49 a few days after it came back into service. Got a pic of 1477 on the 7 the other day

I see 4587 fairly regular. When im out and my cameras handy i'll try getting a photo

I call it bus spotters luck, mostly in short supply for me.

apologies for the spelling

I've not seen 4141 since its refurbishment either but not really been looking, BC could always have it off the road for some reason. 244 is a common one for me, I barely go to walsall without seeing it! Since 1419 went to Walsall its been a pain to find for me, 1439 likes to avoid me too but I always seem to find 1436 which happens to be my favourite ZF B10 anyway so not really that bothered! All depends on luck really, 4177 seems to be a tricky one for me too.
4128 was out and about today, I saw it not in service a few times then I saw it on the 935A later in the day.

I believe 244 is usually hanging around Walsall College for some reason or another.

Oh LOL, the less said about that the better, then!  676 still showing as WB elsewhere on the site, guess the withdrawal notes haven't caught up yet.  Not seen PE508 or WA516 this year either...

508 is still out there going strong though its brakes have been making a pretty awful squeak for a couple of months

Yes, I have noticed that as well. It's just down to luck of where you are on a certain day, and where the buses you are looking for are!!

I really want to find 4141, as no-one has seen it since repaint in July.
Another one is Wolverhampton's 4587, which is the very last Trident that I need to photo.

those are the 2 most illusive ones to me.

4587 often gets put on the 126 so maybe that's why its more illusive/elusive!

508 is starting to sound abit worn out

[wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)]

Along with poor 502, one of the oldest buses left in daily service, won't surprise me if PE new Enviro's replace the remaining P reg B6's at the very least as was on 580 today and it was absolutely flying, felt like it had a good couple of years left in it still along with a few other R and S reg's that have all been refurbed, unless the NXWM Enviro 200's are drastically different to all the others I've been on I'd have 580 and 600 over them any day

[bususer12]

244 was on 311 in Dudley at 5.50 today

[Ashley]

580 is long gone. Did you mean 508?

[winston]

580 is long gone. Did you mean 508?

Or 581 possibly?

[wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)]

508 sorry, always getting the right numbers "but not neccessarily in the right order!"
