I must ask this seeing as it's come up but whats the visual difference between a Transbus Trident and a B7TL ALX400 ?! They look virtually identical to me.

They do but I while I like them their, for the sake of good variety (Not that BC really needs it) to the overall fleet, they should have more

Isn't BY made up of Omnilinks only? Technically speaking, AG is not really the only garage (without ADL/Dennis buses) then, is it? Sorry. Had to get it out. :)

Considering I go past it every other day on the 97, you'd think I'd know to bring that !!

To be honest, buying a big batch of scania buses wouldnt be a bad idea as with scania making people redundant at slupsk they want a big order and would give a good deal Im sure so maybe time for some more omnilinks :P

I wouldn't mind NXWM ordering OmniCities ! They look good and you'd think the largest garage would have the most variety as well !

Honestly speaking, I like the fact that Acocks Green doesn't have any ADL or Dennis vehicles, I quite like them but it's also nice to see a garage a bit different from the others !

Get thee out now, 6031 is back out, just (17:45) seen it Salford Circus outbound, might finish at the vale and head back to garage though

NOOOO ! I'm home ridden today ! I usually grab shots when I'm out and about in town for uni but I've always wanted to get an articulated bus but I've had my luck

P.S What will Perry Barr be using if these go into reserve ?!

More likely to be Geminis at the moment that will replace most of the Presidents.

What will happen to the current batch of Presidents then ?! Will they be withdrawn ?!

That explains the big parking outside (Ariel view). What do other garages have that make them stand out ?!

Is Walsall the "Paint Shop" of NXWM ?! I'm assuming so as I've seen many buses here (Photographs).

I personally think the Scania's on the 37 are good enough, with a Gemini filling in during the peak times. Not every route can be a double decker plus It's seen improved anti social behaviors which can only be a good thing.

Not open to the public but you can peer through the gate I guess.

When is a good time to go ?! Ideally I'd like to see a lot of buses so I'm surmising Sunday ?!

I've seen a Birmingham Central Trident at Bordesley Green at least twice. Why is this happening ?!

You will see one every day between about 16:00 and 16:23. A 97 running board comes off a school and is scheduled to start there at 16:23

Thank You, can I ask whats the closest one can get to the garage without being "intrusive" ?! I was walking past on Sunday and due to the reduced frequency of the day, OmniLinks were everywhere and I only managed to get 2 shots from the road because I didnt want to trespass even a foot inside.

Is the Adderly Street open area opposite Birmingham Central, the pen they keep the buses ?! I've wanted to get good shots of bus garages yet I can't seem to do so. I don't want to be seen as intrusive so I keep my distance.

Is their any proper place 1 could get a proper shot of the place, I've taken a few good shots although it's on the Fox Hollies - Westley Road corner although I wish I could get closer.
