4390 on 49 to solihull atm its just leaving Shirley.

Thanks Joe. Found it in Solihull. 4698 is on the 50, got a pic in Moseley this afternoon

Ah good I'm glad you got them both, I imagine 4698 was a change bus then as the driver was definitely wearing an orange engineers high viz suit and had NIS on the blinds, Guess you got lucky today!

I wasn't hopeful for finding 4698 today as I didn't plan to watch the 35s, but yes my luck seems to be in this week, finding both 4218 and 4698. Quite pleased with this pic anyway (Sunny days are always a problem as can be seen in some pics, nice and warm though!)

Also nice to see 4718 on the 50s as well

The next area I need to get to is West Brom, need to catch up with their 42**s

Certainly was nice to see toothpaste on the 50 today (Best livery NXWM have gle in my opinion!)

I do agree with the livery. The odd one out on the 50 today. Both 4799 and 4698 were also on the 50 as well (The smartest 2 Enviro400s at Yardley Wood)

I still want to get a pic of a 'Toothpaste' Enviro400 in service in Solihull. The closest I have got to seeing one is one parked at the rail station, left NIS

I would have liked to to see if it was any different from the ADL version. 4698 was the only Trident version to still be at Perry Barr while I have been there. It even made it onto the 33 as well about a week before transfer. The dash is different on the Trident Enviro400s to the ADLs, that's the only noticeable difference I can see between the 2

trident4370

Yeah I have heard about the dash, never really bothered having a look though! At least you found it in the end anyway.

There's one out on the 6 today, couldn't see the fleet number. Was actually one of three E400s I saw on the 6, which seems unusual for a Sunday!
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
