Just been informed 51 branded 4864 is on WAX51/997 today. Can't remember the last time one of these got on a Platinum route on a Sunday since 2015 (apart from the Sunday late night 934E's which are operated by a 51 board).

4679

Just to preface this with a note that I'm a waste collection driver, so I've seen these around as I have been driving around for work today.

Outer Circle Branded 11 > 1.
X1/X2 Branded > X21 (I think? It was on the Bristol Road anyway)
West Midlands Bus Branded 31/32 > 11.
34/39 Branded > 4.
X51 Branded > 935
934/935/936 etc. Branded > 997 (which was followed by an unbranded Platinum 935?)

I believe there were more, but that was all I could remember off the top of my head.
I know these all are probably a result of the timetable changes, but it's still nice to see what different combinations come up.

I think in light of the current circumstances, there are going to be a fair few branded vehicles being used on other routes for the next few weeks, certainly while it is more prudent to use newer more fuel-efficient vehicles on other services while they are 'spare'.

There was at least one 50-branded bus on the 6 today, and one possibly out on the 2 also.
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

No X1/X2 listed as being out on either 61/63 or X20-2.

Only platinums on 61/63 were 6947/9

Honestly, given the time of day and the number I had seen, I've probably misidentified it.

Couple of things I did fail to mention from yesterday was a 9 Branded platinum masquerading as a training vehicle in Kingswinford, and a Dundee-coloured 54 in Perry Barr, although I don't they'd fall under the content for this thread.
