B10L on 49 all day board; sure its 1447 but it don't sound right.

If it doesn't sound right, surprised they are letting it go so far away from YW.

Sure 1447 failed on the 27 the other Friday.

It did. I saw it busted near Cropredy Road in West Heath. Was it the same day/location I wonder? It was a few days ago but can't be precise.

Yes, it was 1447 - I saw it early this morning on the 49.

Possibly a Volvo B5HL off route on the 61/3 ? not 1000% as it was being driver by a driver and came out from under the New Street Tunnel and turned around on moor street where the 73/50/35 teurn around

That's unlikely, not impossible, as they're banned off the Bristol Road (scum routes)

Either 45/7 or X64 to New Street Station or very rare working of the 98 but I dont think so

Again 45/7 = scum. (But its OK for New E400's on there? Odd)

Most likely X64 if its in service.

Actually no the BR is the only route which does a U-turn there.

Are you 100% sure it was in service and did it go back under the tunnel or go where the 50 goes down Moor Street back to garage?

Currently travelling on 4435 on the 22. Not unusual in itself but as the 22.22 departure ex city very unusual - don't often see these outside of peak periods these dayss.

Nathan, trust me, it wouldn't have been on the 61/63. It was more than likely out of service, possibly returning from duties on the Harborne corridor.
