If the 12/12A were combined every 10 minutes they would probably still be able to cope with Singles. I remember the 120/127/128/129 all coping fine with Singles for years. Obviously they would have been more frequent then because NX don't seem to increase frequencies as much anymore.

I wouldn't say cope fine, but they wouldn't be as necessary. Double deckers have always been used whenever possible for Portland Road services. Even when the 12/A/120 served Hagley Road/Sandon Road, you would get the odd double decker here and there, especially in the late 2010s

@Wba_lad I can say with some confidence that a Gemini is NOT noteworthy on the 11A/C

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Just saw 6106 in West Bromwich. Assuming it's come from West Brom garage after a MOT.

Looks like 6704 has had a accident today by moor street, car gone into the side of it,

It's either been repaired already or it wasn't that bad as it's already out today on the 72

Only took over 6 years for NX to switch the allocations for the 4/4A and 72 hopefully it stays forever

School holiday 4 is busier, 72 is quieter

Has anybody seen 6106?

Most bus stops along the 72 route are showing that it doesn't do a Sunday Service on its timetable any reason why?
