582 out earning its keep on 243/244 today

Yes saw it on 243 this morning, good to have it back.

Wonder where the spare engine came from, 680 perhaps?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

when i last saw 680 Saturday, the engine was still in it. but 5 days have gone by then, so it is a possibility, but to be honest, it was a slow and crap bus to drive i expect the engine to go with the bus.

Plenty of other B6 engines floating about with withdrawn B6s at Miller Street and wherever.
an empty bus is a happy driver.

Saw 582 on the 244 in Halesowen today, going towards Hayley Green, however I couldn't get a photo of it because it took a shortcut, and somewhere around Hayley Green it magically transformed into 555, as this was the bus that came back 20 minutes later!

That's a shame Matt, i saw a few 243/4s today (502, 581 582 2079 and a couple of Mercs) , but can't say i saw 555, plus an unusual place for a changeover at Hayley Green would have thought.

582 is certainly an illusive bus for you Matt!

interesting, as i went past the depot today and there were no Enviro 200s there, so is one of the branded ones on another service?

Wasn't 4444 supposed to be an elusive bus? Because I was at Moor Street for about 10 minutes on Sunday (hardly ever go there) and 4444 turned up for me ;D also, the last time I was there, 4177 appeared

I wouldn't say either are very elusive. 4444 I see on a regular basis and 4177. Cant miss either, really.

So has 810 definitely left BC? As I saw it on the BC58 not so long ago... And if it has, is it a permanent loss?

I saw it on the 99 a few days ago, but then someone reported it on the WB5 the other day

Interesting. Probably wait for someone more in the know of these things to answer.

It must have transferred late Saturday/Sunday (when the changes on the 99 occurred) as I saw it on the 5 in Sutton yesterday (Monday).
