Do the maths: 18 full day X78 boards, 1 X5 board which does X78s and runs in for engineering at 09:30, 1 X78 board which runs out in the afternoon from engineering. Call it 19 B9s required for X78s and there are 23 B9s at Rotherham, 5 are unbranded and 18 are X78 branded. On top of that, there should be 2 B9s on 22s meaning 21/23 are needed. It is highly likely that they will not all be on the road in a day and obvious that unbranded B9s will operate X78s. Not everybody has yours and certain other peoples obviously encyclopedic knowledge of local bus operations. If the X78 is supposed to be a branded route then to my mind any vehicle that is not one of the branded 18 is unusual and of note. In future I won't bother taking the time and effort to post, and l will keep my observations to myself. Regards, Darren. |

Sorry! Enviro 400 33870 on 95 today . As it stands all full day 51 boards are E400, the two late 95 boards are E400 and the spare E400 is then either on a 51 part-day or another 95 board, the displaced Euro-2 ALX400s are spread out on the 42/44s. |

60604 on long 84 to Fox House. Usually B9 I'd be very suprised if it was 60604 given that it was withdrawn in 2010 :-D |

I wasn't trying to have a go at you Snowdonranger. I was trying to point out why it happens. The short answer is, there are not enough B9s at Rotherham. |

Seen all sorts on the 53 recently. Is this just down to tridents being knackered rather than any particular change?
