You sure? I think that breaks the rules!
I saw it too, so he's right! ;)
It sort of does break the rules, but if no other bus is available, then better to have a non-compliant bus in service than no bus. I'm sure it's just out as a peak-time extra.
I am going to sound incredibly stupid by this, but how come the 73 and 1 are permitted to have Presidents run on their routes - is the restrictions to do with the frequency of the route?

The 1 doesn't enter the SQPS area, as it terminates at Five Ways / Broad Street.
The 73 is every 30 mins, ie 2 buses per hour, SQPS applies to services with frequency of 3 bph or higher.
4802 is on the 120 apparently

I've seen a couple. Surely a few B7TL appear on the 74/75 everyday with 5 Enviro 400 being used as spares?
4955 on wb5 at 22.50 to Sutton. Must have been a change bus as 4955 was seen on soho road earlier heading to city around 20.00 hrs.

The last time I had a Trident on the 900 I'm pretty sure it was 4393 which tells you how fast time goes or how much I ought to sleep more instead of sharing these useless nuggets lol

2 drivers told me it was on the 900 once and BR. But saying that drivers are known for their truth telling aren't they Tony haha
4157 was on 900 on Wednesday
850 on the 82, first time an E200 has been on the 82 for a while
4065 clearly on loan on the 49 at maypole heading for longbridge
For the past few days, the "08:05" 24 service seems to be single decker operated... Usually B7s, or E200s, if not then Trident.
Anyway, today 807 (99 branded) did this journey. (Will post in that thread too.)

A B6 on WN 2, seen it passing by the Art Gallery around 12:45. Unfortunately, I could not identify the fleet number because it was too far. I was walking from the university and saw it passing, I quickly ran to try to see which route it is on, according to the rear faded blinds, it is 2.
The 101 is having problems today.
As well as late buses, untimetabled E workings, Scania SINGLE decker, 1869, is still on there now hopefully. Full journey to Handsworth
EDIT: 08:05 departure from City (24) was an E400 today, as opposed to recent single decker allocations.

60 is 100% Enviro 400 today (4942/3/5/7/8/9)
Irony about 'East Birmingham' complaints is one of the major corridors heading East from Birmingham doesn't have a bus older than two years on it today, but that gets ignored. (58, 59, 60, 900, 957) and the 'competition' excuse cannot be used
4144 on BC22/3 (Not sure on this one?)
4561 on WN2 being on it to Penn fields and back to town
Today (Sunday 14th December)
2062 on WN59. Replaced 5405 within the last hour
4289 on the 33 on a Sunday
788 is a B10 this morning. Pretty sure this board then goes on to the 934/5/6, although I imagine this will be changed!

It is 934-20 scdulled on 934/936 duration of the day starting g at Walsall
934 0915 i doubt it'll stay on there though
4008 on WN59. If it isn't swapped (Although it most likely will) then it will work the last departure off Wolverhampton at 23:24.
Replaced defective 4540
A 140/141 running board is the novelty working today.
Started off as normal with 4200 which broke down in this mornings peak
only available spare bus was 1573 which did a 241, then a 140 into Birmingham, and a 141 out to Merry Hill
This has now been swapped with 824 to provide a QPS compatable vehicle in Birmingham, so today we have had the rare sight on both a Pensnett Merc and a Pensnett Enviro 200 in Colmore Row on the same running board.
If it doesn't get swapped again 824 will do the 17:30 140 from Colmore Row this evening

I forgot to say 824 was on the 205 around 12.30, plus there were quite a few double deckers parked up in Pensnett with some E400's looking unserviceable

Slight clarification here being one of the drivers. Apparently there were 2 Tridents which failed/had defects. The replacement Mercedes 1573 did a part 241 Blackheath to Merry Hill. It then did a 141 to Five Ways only & then a 140 from Five Ways to Dudley. At Dudley it was swapped for 824 off the 205. Unfortunately due the above mentioned rules orders were to terminate at the Ivy Bush so 1573 never made it into Colmore Row.
1643 was briefly on the 241 Saturday morning just.
I thought that non compliant vehicles were allowed in the City Centre providing it was an exceptional circumstance. A replacement for a broken down vehicle would be fine surely?
Also the 140 and 141 operate half hourly frequency so non-compliant vehicles are allowed.

Aren't they on the same VOSA registration, so classed as a single 15 minute route?

Was a B7 when I had it either last week or the week before, was a trident earlier that day
Regarding Notworthy workings noticed a Double decker on 66A around sutton at 1630 Hrs. I have looked on timetable and there is an EXtra Journey starting from Short Heath at 1612hrs arriving at Sutton at 1637. This is always double deck as it comes from School Bus 869.
