2576 is on the 500.

All three 500 workings were single deckers today. A sensible move in my opinion as present loadings on the 500 nowhere near justify deckers at the expense of other routes. Most, if not all, 80/80As today were back to deckers which is a major improvement on the unacceptable mainly single deck allocations on this route over the past month.
4478 was on the 86/86A.

4478 was on the 86/86A.
Seemingly only lasted one day. Perhaps it was a trial run?
Either way, I’m in complete agreement that 4444, 4477 and 4478 should be allocated to 80/A and 86/A duties while we’re under lockdown restrictions.
Having them run empty on 500 duties just doesn’t make sense.

4848 on 500 this evening.

Ecos seem to be returning to Route 79 after a long absence due to vandalism. There appeared to be at least 3 or 4 out this morning. Has anybody else noticed this?

I’ve noticed that they have effectively swapped the allocations on 82 with 79, so 82 sees a lot more DB300s and 79 with more Ecos. Back like it was in 2017!

Noticed Happy Al’s and Stagecoach with buses on the 699 recently ?? I’m guessing this is a scenario similar to MP Travel taking on the X1 for two months ??

Sure it wasn’t just that Al’s loaned/bought buses from Stagecoach?
