There's a Trident on the 50 today, think it was 4360.

Also, 4799 is on the 3, think that's its first day on there?

A lot on the 50 since green bus upped the frequency and a fair few short turning at the maypole which is very interesting. It is true that WMT/NX get very competitive on this route

Yes 4360 was the trident on the 50 with an E400 on the 6

There were two Enviro400s on the 2/3 today then, as I saw one heading into town in Sparkbrook on the 3 while I was waiting for my 37 home, then when I arrived back in Acocks Green there was another one that had just unloaded and headed down Westley Road (think that one was 4743?)
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Stating the obvious, but 4799 is also unbranded.

I would like to see 4799 branded. Dought it will be though. it would look a lot more smarter than the rest

4341 on the 18 today, had no power at all, struggled badly up the hill to Bartley Green Interchange.

How many President's transferred back away from YW recently as I was in Northfield yesterday and didn't see a single President on the 18, only Tridents. The 49 was only half and half as well, the ones I saw.

Last time I saw the 18/49/76, I saw mostly Presidents and the odd Trident on the 49, the 18 was fully Trident and the 76 was Tridents with the odd President

Have seen a 13 plate Enviro 400 operating on the 50 route this evening (4908).   Is YW getting an unbranded batch of 49XX Enviro 400's in order to release their 47XX vehicles for overhaul, refurb and possible transfer to BC to upgrade the Pershore Road routes (as suggested elsewhere on the forum)?
