You must be in line for the 'NXWM most miles driven in a year' prize, what with the Plaxton and Dundee runs!!

Apologies for any momentary blindness caused by the Tango2 orange VW T5 I was piloting underneath at that precise moment!   8)

Plenty of ALX400s on the 37, 4293, 4294, 4296, 4300 and 4302 are ones I've seen and heard about

Sh4318

@dingding, @2206 not really sure ALX400s on the 37 are noteworthy. I've seen at least on there most days in the last couple of weeks

"AG bus on an AG route"  8)

With an increasing number of ALX400s at AG now, I suppose it is inevitable that they will be used on the 37, as well as the 31, when needed, especially if there are no problems with them operating on city centre routes, unlike the Presidents, which I imagine will just be kept to the 1 and 11A/C.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Probably less likely now, but Presidents have sneaked on, on rare occasions.

Yes, took 2204 to Plaxtons, which is the last of the 50 to go, brought 2245 back, so just 2231; 2203 & 2204 left to return.

As well as all the normal mods, 2204 will also get a new engine so Alexander-Dennis can have a look at the effects of doing 57,000 miles with a stop start gearbox to see if any extra wear is present
