Love the way that no one's voted for YW (or indeed Yarlwood), they seem to be the only garage I've heard of doing anything community wise

Everyone will get a chance to visit YW & AG when they have their open day in October

Should have rephrased.... I'm crap at typing sometimes, I never read what I put...
What I meant was that I'm not surprised, as YW actually do open up occasionally

So, a fantastically vague one, but.....
A "50" branded enviro spotted heading out of Albert St onto Moor St Queensway in the city centre, now as the 50 turns round before then I can only assume the bus itself was not on route 50... No idea what route it was though, as I was right down the bottom of Moor St at the time on the 67

4331 parked up with its back up at the unload only bus stop on Newton street (city centre) about 8 this morning.

1861 (branded for the 4) on the x51 (and so the 934 & 935a) today

Wouldn't it do the 51 tonight at some point aswell ?

Had a look at the running board on me way off the bus and it seemed to finish as an x51 about 6ish

I occasionally see the 8A/8C on 55 branded buses

Been mentioned numerous times before, I wouldnt't class it as even unusual anymore (oh sorry, wrong thread....)

This might be link to the gold corridors. I can't remember where the map is it used to be on the Centro connected website. Sounds connected.

3 years ago? guessing plans would have changed since then?

I am not suggesting those are the cast iron plans. The point I was making that there has got to be linkage, as the diagram route of these routes was actually on the Centro connected website this year. In addition it was reported that representatives from NXWM were looking into the styles of buses indentified.

Well, fair enough I suppose, I just assumed that, as with the what seemed to be fairly detailed proposals of an entire Metro network, it was just forgotten about and they moved onto another idea

It wasn't a Metro plan, it was a plan of super bus routes. That was my whole point fella. Just wish i could find the map to illustrate it.

Yeah I know, just assumed it was a similarly forgotten about idea as the metro network. Pretty sure I know which map you're talking about, damned if I can remember where it was though

Definitely not what I meant, because they are express routes so not particularly useful for most. I meant things like the 16 currently does, just a bit further say up to the ring road

What about scanias on the 7

Wouldn't particularly say they were unusual, 7 is like the 16 in that sense, gets anything and everything

Also, forgot one from Wednesday, saw  4281 (I think - sorry, I'm crap at remembering numbers, really should write things down when I see them) passing Star City on the back of a Mansfield truck

1848 (or 1846, forgot now) parked up on Oliver st, Nechells, on the 66. Came past it and realised it technically wasn't broken down, someone had smashed the back windows in

Won't be 1848. Thats at Walsall branded for the 4

Was it a high backed leather seated Scania, as 1846 is.

Yeah I could have just looked at the fleetlist I suppose......

I also saw this earlier and driver's bus replaced with 1838

When? I was on the 66 passing the other way (not sure on the fleetnumber)

I'm sure it's been stated elsewhere that most garages are currently at or near full capacity, and I'm pretty sure AG probably doesn't have a lot of spare capacity. Though I'm happy to be corrected!

Surely PB have a bit of room left, with the 934 moving out?
