Go North East's Levante 7111 BF63ZRY was parked up in AG garage earlier, not sure if another transfer for JLR work?

Seemed to be a private hire. Someone who was on it commented on my photo. Brought some enthusiasts to the event.

I've seen 2 E200 MMC's going down Dartmouth Middleway and Lawley Middleway going towards Bordesley Circus (Crossing Nechells Parkway/Jennens Road) this afternoon.
The first was an unbranded E200 MMC which had passengers onboard at approximatley 13:20.
The second was a ticket branded (pink ticket branding) E200 MMC at about 14:35.
Does anybody know what they're doing.
I was to far away to identify them as I was on the 55 and later the 94.

Warwick Road is closed at the junction with Stratford Road. Only affects outbound buses. Inbound is as normal. This is probably the diversion. It's been like this for a few days. Presumably they'll come down Golden Hillock Road and back onto Warwick Road

Warwick Road is closed between Stratford Road and Baker Street roundabout for works, only outbound. It started on 18th June and doesn't reopen until 16th July. The 37's (outbound) are diverted via Walford Road and Golden Hillock Road. @MW

Not paticularly unusual, when i've seen and used the 1. Just about everything gets onto the 1.
I've seen plenty of E400 MMC get on there over the past 18 months, though they tend to operate the peak workings.
It used to be a nice route with a large variety of vehicle types on there , Presidents, Omnilink, E200 MMC, Gemini, ALX400 B7TL, E400 MMC Platinum. And when AG had them the Crimson E400 MMC on loan from YW were always found on the 1.
But I don't think its paticularly unusual to see one on there.
I haven't used it for a few weeks now, but they definetley used to appear on there now and again?

Didn't  think they were usual on Saturdays? Hence why I posted.

Yes the MMC (both single and double decks) tend to be less common on Saturdays, these days, when i've seen it.

They work 'JLR Site Shuttle' duties from what I can tell, someone will probably correct me if that's wrong though.

Internal site shuttle at JLR Gaydon.

No idea if noteworthy or normal since it's the first day but out of the 3 4's I've seen today, all have been Gemini. And I noticed the stops between Acocks Green to Solihull being fairly busy.

I noticed during the week from a printed timetable at a Stratford Rd that I had a look at, it shows the 4 operating every 15 mins during Sunday daytime. With the 4A also operating every 15mins.

So an increase in Sunday frequency between Acocks Green/Gospel Oak and city centre, with a reduction between Acocks Green and Solihull.
