As promised 4089 in HD, truth be told I'd forgotten the first 2 videos were still on my channel!

Compare with - - All respective copyrights given. Sounds near identical. Obviously you couldn't quite get perfection in comparison to the Lynxs, but I doubt 2001 is coming back any time soon.

Ahh I miss that sound on the 35 :(

I know, the 35 and the 35 and the 27 once upon a time... remember that?

Bit of trivia; was the 35 the only route bar the saver bus which had branding on both single and double deck vehicles?

Haha I kind of remember that, I was very young at the time though but I remember those routes being confusing.
No idea regarding the branding but I'm sure someone else will be able to answer that question.

Yep, I remember that though again I was pretty young at the time. Metrobuses and lynxes were both branded route 35 though the lynxes additionally had circular 35 branding towards the back. I always thought on the branded buses that Route 35 would have looked better than route 35 but I'm probably just being fussy about grammar!

That was after the route was split again though in 2003? As prior to that the 35 covered the 27 route.

As an aside, does anyone else find the current 27 confusing? I used to know where it went around Northfield but now I don't have a clue! Buses seem to go in completely different directions from certain stops and it seems to do a weird loop around Northfield!!

I think with the 27, buses towards Maypole turn left out of Woodland Road, head down Great Stone Road, then right onto Bristol road so they can serve the high st. Down Church road and then they stay on Bunbury road and proceed to Bournville. Hawkesley bound buses just do the reverse if I'm right.

Hagley Road had the B10Ls branded and the E400s branded (albiet with a bit of a gap IIRC...)

Thanks for the info @trident4370. It still seems rather complicated and the existing route via Pamela Rd and South Rd seemed far more sensible.

I agree @DiamondDart - That current 27 is still confusing even though it has been explained to me many times. It stops at the same stops on the same and opposite sides of the road I don't know :(
