I was going to ask when and where the BC boards on the 9 start and finish and at what time if they still run?

One used to leave Quinton Church at around 7.40ish to City and then became a 9S, but not seen it in ages which would corroborate Shaun saying they no longer run on the 9 into town.

Unidentified B7 on the 9 in the peak this morning!

A B7 on Pensnett's 9? Now that is unusual, as PE don't have any B7's...what was going on there? Was it Gemini or ALX?

I assume he meant B7RLE.

Oops. I need more sleep.

Shame, I got all excited then... a B7RLE is not unheard of in the morning. The 9 is my local bus and I'd love to see a bit more variety on there!

It could have been an Trident

They don't but BC do (or did until very recently) a couple of morning peak boards on the 9 which then take up duties on the 9S, or 829 as it is now, to St Paul's School. Not sure where these start from, but it's at least Quinton Church, towards City.

But anyway, I too suspect it's a B7RLE he was referring to.

Sorry everyone, it was a B7RLE i was referring to!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

1470 on route 7 (PB). Should be very rare now because of the Euro 3 rubbish.

There was a spectra on the 126 today. I didn't think these would operate the full 126 anymore.
