Is it just me, or does BC have buses on loan for AG and and PB?

There was a 7 Branded enviro on the X2
A criminal MMC on the 24
And a X12 branded bus on the 45/7

Nothing criminal about borrowing a bus from AG.

BC have plenty of buses at Graysons for Euro 6 AG have none.

Is PB and BY the first place BC will try to get loan buses from as when I look at the hanover on some of the platinums we used to get on the 70 it used to say not in service and then underneath it said BC, BY, PB not sure if it's in that order
Local Routes
NXWM - 11A, 11C, 94, 95, 28, 14, X12, X13
Diamond - 25, 93, 94
The Green Bus - 843

The BC/BY/PB destination blinds are on one file. So all three depots destinations will be on their buses.

Same goes for AG/YW.

4818, 6112, 6704.

The latter half of your post answers your own question...

Are any of these out today or have they returned to their respective depots ?

I see they've extended the bus lane on Bath Row into City. I wonder if a bus lane will be put in place going the other way too.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Where do you think they are going to put it. Leaving room for two ordinary lanes?
Why do you need one?

Not sure what the need is for that kind of response or where I said I needed one. It was just a question. As for the 2 lanes, there would still be an ordinary lane going either way as it would have to go where the parked cars are now. If requiring 2 ordinary lanes going one way was an issue there wouldn't be a bus lane going practically all the way down Bath Row into City now.

Going out of city on Bath Row is not much of problem for buses as far I have found while doing the 80/80A.
However I've seen a report by Bham City Council stating that Wheeleys Lane will be getting a bus lane soon.

4362 noted on Pershore Road today, wouldn't call Tridents noteworthy but reserve one worth a mention. 4363 I think on the Bristol Road too

Tridents are practically always on the 61/63. It's more noteworthy for them on the 45/7 though in my opinion
23 - Bartley Green
76 - Northfield
X20 - Birmingham Via Longbridge, Northfield & QE Hospital / University
