4776 is being a pain in the bottom for me. I've been wanting to check out the refurbed non-leather interior since it was done but I can never seem to catch it. I always see it but am never able to catch the bugger.

I do see that one a lot now. Took a while to find it at first since repaint

Thanks Ash, I have managed to find 4776 a lot since. It is my 'lucky' bus!!

4776-WA

Main role is college use replacing 4128 which is now seen more in service.

Apart from peak time workings and Saturdays 4776 will be quite hard to find in service

Pretty sure these don't exist: 244, 508, 516, 1603, 1756, 4045, 4565!

Saw 4565 an hour ago on the 126 in Wolverhampton.

508 seen today and most days on the 243/4!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Assuming this is why it lost the leather

4163 is becoming more illusive. I used to see it a lot before refurb with its Skyfall ad, but not once since its return!

I think one man's elusive bus is another man's bread and butter. 4163 always seems to me to be on the 24!

I think it can change from time to time what you see most frequently and what you dont. Then it depends how much you do or dont like that bus which affects your reaction when it appears sometimes from nowhere, for me im just happy to get closer to a full batch but its sods law the same ones turn up time after time when you are looking for them

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
