I would have thought it'll be a mixture of Tridents, B7TL ALX400 and Gemini from a mixture of all the garages like previous years.

In previous years before they were withdrawn, Spectra and Presidents were also used and when they were still around the Metrobus.

Just seen on a photo on a Facebook group that Perry Barr have sent a 7 branded and 16 branded Enviro 400 for the V Festival runs. It also looks like that ALX400's (Trident's and B7TL's) will be the main allocation again for V Festival.

4282, 2 other ALX400 B7TL's and a Crimson Trident were on the Walsall Road inbound, so presuming they're going back home. Was speeding past on 1935 so couldn't see the other 3.

Lol. I did think it was 4290 judging by its rear AD. Couldn't see though. You were zooming down the Walsall Road.
