4432 covered the 9 for the morning rush hour last run I got on @ 9:08. Is this a regular event or was it the extra bus someone mentioned in an earlier thread. I have got on a few BC Tridents on the 9 which terminate/go out of service at Colmore Row at about 9ish. Some go back to depot I think can someone confirm either way please

@Squiz1971 central do a pair of morning peak trips into city (something to do with the 829 I think?)

Yes 2 BC buses do 2 Halesowen to City runs, then go on top the 829 and then run empty to Quinton and do 2 Quinton City runs on the 9.

&trainbasher Thanks for that did wonder why I saw BC Tridents on the 9 as the 1st time I saw 4622 I think on it I thought it had transferred till it said Not in Service when I got of it cheers for the info and @Stuharris 6360 that answers why 1 BC trident said 9E Quinton but carried on into town which I caught last time thanks for your help guys cheers

Would presume there will be some kind of high profile launch!

Bit of trivia for you. These turns are normally done by the staff bus drivers as their last portion!

I'm guessing after one unveiling ceremony, the public will get the word round - and everyone will know about these new buses, sooner or later. Or perhaps it'll be quite low-key - Centenary Square, perhaps?

As for this, I thought after they did an 829, they'd go back NIS to Colmore to start on the Harbornes (mainly 24 & 29/A)
