There is usually a B10 on the 18 during the peaks and more often than not it stays on all day YW just throw anything at the 18 more than likely because its terminus is actually inside the garage so makes swapping buses really easy. You will often spot a Enviro, Omnilink or B10 amongst the Presidents and Tridents

Trident 4609

Wolverhampton

2009 on the 59 all day
4004 on the 28
4131 on the 69 (unusual to get a trident in the week now)

4599 (529 Route Branded) was heading up darlington street into Wolverhampton city centre on a school service

Westy

I saw 4128 heading up Stafford Street in Walsall around 2pm today displaying Football Special. (Definetly Football something!)

I'm sure I saw a B10 on the 66 this evening, went past on cuckoo road when i was leaving work and i'm sure it had 66 on the back
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

222 Branded 827 on the 53E this evening heading to Blackheath.
4274 on the 49

Yes thanks for 1932 today on the 11 NXWM, a lovely extra 10 minute wait because it was full... -_-

I noticed that too this evening in Acocks Green, was heading on an 11E (clockwise) journey to Bearwood.

While I also saw at least 4 Geminis running on the 37 while on 1953 home from Sparkbrook.  ::)
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

I'm all for buses sneaking off route, but when they put singles on the busiest running boards it is silly!

It's PE 53 now. Pwnsnett took over complete running of the 53 a couple of weeks ago.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
