4557 on WN 5!

So that's two tridents on the 5 in the past week (4567 on Sunday) and I'd never seen one on there before :)

Also 4574 on the 25!

Saw B10L 1457 on the 2 (YW) this evening, if it hadn't been full, I was tempted to get on, as I haven't been on a B10L since they were all withdrawn from AG!  ;D
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

Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Gah, when I first read this I got a shot of excitement in the possibility of seeing a Mk1 Metro. Then the 21st century set in.

Wonder what buses will take over the Mk2 Metro fleet numbers?

Hahahaha!! Are these E40D's as rattly as B7 crap of same age? Refurbed Tridents are tight as drum, well, some of them.

No, as I always say, anything ADL-built is in a better condition than Volvos of the same age.

I have to disagree with you on the older buses. In comparison a president with a trident? Presidents win hands down in my experience. Maybe because the B7's suspension is softer I don't know mate. But any 'modern' crap you're right on the money.

Didn't ADL make tridents 4535-4609? The Gemini B7s are in a much better condition then those tridents

I suppose I would agree with you there, I was referring more to modern buses. I love older Volvos, I am a big fan of B6s and my favourite vehicle of all time is the Volvo Citybus
