Yeah. 2012 gave the East B7RLEs, 2013 was Enviro400s, more in 2014. 2015 MMCs and 2016 even more MMCs. This guy is deluded.

Stirred some passion here lol

At @monkeyjoe no offence but you keep stirring it stating that east Birmingham never gets any investment when it does. When 97 has had its tridents repainted first before any other tridents, the 94 is currently gaining crimson geminis along with 65 and 67. Those routes do get the odd E400 on weekends. The inner circle has got the younger buses than the outer circle and most likely once WA and YW have their Scanias done as they were done first into red and white will more than likely do Bordesley. Nx has 1600 vehicles and haven't got the money to buy a massive order in which would see the tridents and early volvo b7tls at some point in the future 94 will probably get e400s but probably then they will be too old...

Back to Bordesley Green will the 55 ever be rebranded in the new style like WN b7rles ?

Please can we not start this whole East Birmingham needs investment thing, again, on yet another thread where the page number has been kept minimal for numerous years....it's received a good amount of investment over the past few years - end of.

The 94, 38, 67 and 11 still have tatty 16 year old B7TL ALX400 though that have never been refurbished since new, so still have there original interiors. Even the moquette/seats on 4243 are now looking worn and tired. It appears they will be staying for quite a while longer now as they are having traps fitted to them and buses bellow 4425 won't be getting a crimson repaint and refurb. Some of the seats on some like those on 4289 are threadbare. The 65 also gets them. The 94, 65 and 67 get the occasional E400 not just on weekends, but throughout the week at the moment.

The Omnilinks at BY do still look quite smart though, only last repainted and refurbished back in 2014 they should look smarter once they get there new floors fitted. The 28 has Crimson refurbished Omnlilinks plus the, 71, 72 and 966 (the 966 will soon change this spring) have new MMC.

Biggest jump in entries in this thread...

More to the point do Uber come in Crimson, Bluesom or Platinumb?

Personally I hope no to more branding, surely its one already gone too far and two isn't that nice looking. If it was something inspired by TWM then maybe

1809 is issuing tickets showing BY9999.

Saw 41** on 59S
6852 891

@Tony is the 59S BC operated now.
Before the changes it was BY operated, with Omnilinks, usually 17 branded. On Friday 26th May it was 1804. Seems unlikely BY have had a Trident on loan?

Not sure what 1830 was doing but it was parked half and half on Adderley Road by the tennis court/play area opposite Adderley Gardens on the clockwise side. Was displaying 8C and this was about 18:20 as I was walking to Saltley Gate from work to catch the 94

Working a new job with different hours means I see workings I never did previously. This morning I saw 1810 with destination set for schools service 839. Which school does this serve?

And thinking of schools services, when I was at school we had an 826 to Hodge Hill. Does this still run or something similar? Especially as there is no local service to Bromford anymore.

[Jordan]

That's the school

Chester Road, The Bagot Arms - Walmley - John Willmott School/Fairfax School
via School Service - Available to the General Public

The 826 no longer operates and hasn't done for many years. There are no school services serving Hodge Hill School.
