Thats alright Nathan. The 92 always used to have the longer Enviro200 on it before the Trident, and I did see it arrive in Sutton on Monday.

With the 2 Olympians leaving, I wonder if another Trident will come

Pretty sure it is just 1, but I really don't know

But one day I did see the longer Enviro200 and a dart both on the 92, this might have been just a swap that day, or if a second bus comes on to let the driver have a lunch break, with the short layover times at both ends (Central Buses leaflet shows 2 minutes at both ends)

Not sure.

Before the 92 was introduced, it was usually found on the 78, but when the 92 came along, the long Enviro200 moved to that, leaving one of the longer Darts to work the 78

I know its too long to work the 61, it possibly could get away with working the 88A so that leaves either the 757 or 78 I think ?

Not sure about the route of the 88, but I have seen the Trident on there, so maybe

Bus allocations i usually see are -

19/74A - Small Enviro200s. Pretty sure they interwork in West Brom
61 - Solos
007 - Long Dart
92 - Trident (this may only be until schools are back), or Long Enviro400 or Dart
78 - Long Enviro200 or Dart
28, 88/A, 696 - Small Darts
757/777 - OmniCitys
739/740 I guess used to have the ex-Dublin Olympians, more than likely the Trident and a long Dart now

I guess so. The 739 starts from Perry Barr, Walsall Road at 8.05am

The 740 starts from Meadowside, Great Barr at 7.53am.

An Olympian used to be parked in One Stop when I went through between 9 and 10am most times. Never sure why

The Olympian used to be parked at One Stop doing driver reliefs for the 61 service.

The Trident will now be regularly used on the 92 as well as the 740 St Francis School Service.
Prior to Summer 2013, the Olympians were used on the AH3 / CH3 services that were operated on behalf of The Greenbus.
