They aren't branded for the 22/3. They are generic Harbone branded.

They're meant for the 22/23 though. If the 29 was included it would be used on a regular basis. You don't see Pershore Road branded buses only used on the 47 for example.

Nathan is right. They're not route specific branded plus you can argue the 29 qualifies as a Harborne route as it passes through there. According to the spreadsheet, B5s appear occasionally on the route.

24 gets them on a regular basis too. The Harborne corridor seems a right mixed bag nowadays. With Hybrids, E400's & Tridents appearing across the 22/3/4/9

I know they're not. My point is, however, if they're meant for the Harborne routes they should be used on all of them. Not just 2. Occasionally is pushing it. It's very rare to see on on the 29. Occasionally is more accurate for the 24.

B7RLEs regularly appear on the 29. In the day hybrids are rare on the 29.

There's simply not enough Hybrids to fulfil the routes. And why only 50% of them are branded is beyond me, especially as they only tend to appear on Harborne routes.

That is a valid point. I've noticed during my time on the forum that the B5s (Compared to other bus types) hardly ever stray onto other routes (i.e. corridors). Even WN's hybrids have appeared occasionally on other routes so it does make sense to fully branded all of them given they're used on the 1 corridor.
