Looking at Tonys photos 5412 was on the 126 on Friday (26th).

And the following 126 was 529 branded 4599!

1861 (branded for the 4) on the x51 (and so the 934 & 935a) today

Wouldn't it do the 51 tonight at some point aswell ?

Had a look at the running board on me way off the bus and it seemed to finish as an x51 about 6ish

So, a fantastically vague one, but.....
A "50" branded enviro spotted heading out of Albert St onto Moor St Queensway in the city centre, now as the 50 turns round before then I can only assume the bus itself was not on route 50... No idea what route it was though, as I was right down the bottom of Moor St at the time on the 67

The YW Enviros  also occasionally appear on the 6 too, as well as the 2 and 3.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley

Stu, I said the 2 and 3 because them were the only routes i could think of that go down Albert Street operated by YW. Does the 6 go down Albert Street?

Yep, as does the 5 and 37 but it wouldn't have been either of them

All the services that terminate on Carrs Lane (2, 3, 5, 6, 31, 31A, 37 and Johnsons X20) exit via High Street and Albert Street back onto Moor Street Queensway. YW operate the 2, 3 and 6 services, AG the 5, 31/A and 37.

So was on either the 2/3 or 6. Would more than likley be the 6 as that appears to have E400's more than the 2/3

I'd say the 2 and 3 get more Enviros than the 6, but that could just be spotters luck. Makes sense though, with the 2 and 3 being allocated double deckers anyway

4 branded 1858 on the 8/89

Probably about the same. The 6 does see a few Tridents most days, as well as the odd Enviro.
