Are the recent EX PB Geminis euro 6?

Yes, or they wouldn't have been at PB, because all their DD routes come into Birmingham

They should be allowed to go on the 4/4A and 41/46 right?

You don't half ask some silly questions!

Read Tony's reply again and have a think about it!

I understood what he said. I was meant to say that why don't they go on euro 6 routes if their euro 6.

They do, the 72 and 73 are Euro 6 routes

4493 ex PB is working the 4/4A today.
Helps with extra passengers likely to use the 4 & X2 services today due to no trains I guess as well.

Quite a strange one today. 
1806 shows on bus times as a 41. Next thing you see is not in service. 1796 then shows as on the 41 to alum rock and instead goes down wake green road and takes the outer circle way to Acocks green. Does this happen on other routes too?

4640 is on AG5.

I thought Geminis were banned from the 5, is this no longer the case?

4640 is on AG5.

Now that's interesting!

AG had to stop using Geminis on the 5 a few years ago due to the height restriction for the railway bridge on Robin Hood Lane in Hall Green.

I know that Robin Hood Lane has recently been resurfaced, so I'm wondering now if the works were carried out in such a way that the height restriction under that bridge has been changed?

I had to double take when it pulled into Birmingham! Had a ride on it to Solihull, and the bridge in question is still 14ft 3". It got under it though, although was bashing a few branches on the route. Got swapped with 6108 once it got to Solihull.

It's probably the resurfacing that helped up a little. Outer circle also has loads of branches that the buses hit

6121 swapped off the 11 this morning with 6703 taking over as apparently someone "weed on the seats at the back".
