Does anyone actually see these out & about?

I normally see the Walsall one between 630am & 645am coming up Bloxwich Road in Leamore towards the depot some mornings during my commute, normally an Omnilink!

I saw an Acocks Green one early one morning (I think somewhere on the 11 route). And a Central one on the Kingstanding Road. Both on B7RLEs

The Wolverhampton one is also a B7RLE, usually on bilston street island on the ringroad around 6:40am

I think BC's one are usually B7RLEs or sometimes E200s... Seen one sometime last week I think, a B7 on Colmore Row.
Check out my photos on Flickr & Instagram

YW Omnilink, BC E200. Well, those are the ones I always see.

Pensnett More often E20 branded 99

I highly doubt that as they are BC buses.

I've sometimes seen E200 Pensnett staff buses on a Sunday

Liverpool Street

Oh? I didn't realise that all of 801 - 807 inclusive was transfered to PE, along with the 99 route? /Sarcasm

I'm back on the bus scene after many years off it. The 1980's were my era. I spend my time now with the old stuff. I enjoy what I do and will help anyone with any info and realise accuracy is important. So I miss quoted and will still confirm a staff bus runs up Hagley Rd, as a train driver I see this often on my early shift. When I see it again I will quote numbers, in the mean time please educate fellow enthusiasts, not use sarcastic comments. Non of us knows everything!

1707,

I understand where you are coming from, but if you have any doubt on what you are considering posting due to your absence from the bus scene, you would only need to double check Tony's NXWM fleetlist located on the main site, that would have shown that the 99 branded E200's are allocated to BC (even without a fleet number).
