4705 on 80

Is that the first time a Gemini with the new 82/87 branding has been reported off route?

Yeah, it is. The only part of the Dudley Road the 80 serves is by Summerfield Park, it is an entirely different route to the 82, 83, 87 & 89
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A

X96-branded 1705 on 297 today.

Must have been a changeover during the day, as this morning 1705 was having its engine worked on at the garage
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

4705 is meant to be 82/87 branded (is it still incomplete as per Tony's picture from March?), so yes, it is 'off-route' on the 80.


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

4707 which I saw today has incomplete branding in the same state as that picture of 4705

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
