1915 was parked in the yard at the back of BC yesterday (11th Jan) Not sure what for, don't think it was actually on loan but worth mentioning anyhow :)
BC don't even operate the type so that'd be strange if it was on loan, but I guess anything is possible!

Its happened before.

Didn't BC operate some when Lea Hall closed? Because i'm sure I've seen a photo of a toothpaste Omnilink on the 900 in Pool Meadow

@ARJ2901 - yes. 1800 onwards for the 97 when it was transferred. They were also seen on the x62/64 before the b7rles.

They worked the 58 as well down to Solihull - Prefer them to the B7RLEs that are on it now.

Also the 29/29A before the arrival of the B7RLEs. Much prefer the B7s myself.

1931 on loan (I presume) to PB - on 952 today

Yes, was parked out the front of the garage when I finished this evening, ready to go back to Yardley Wood

I'm aware they used to operate the type but 6 of them were then loaned to Coventry before they all transferred to BY, so I would imagine new drivers which started since then would not be type trained?

Perry Barr had 4906 from Central today. Don't know where it was used, but I never saw it on the Suttons

John · January 15, 2015, 07:37:49 PM

Today we have 4904 from Central (I think on the Suttons), and 1928 on the 65s

So PB have borrowed 4904, 05, 06... am I right in thinking PB have borrowed all of 4940 -49 a some point?

4829 is a transfer Nathan

Spotted YW 1924 on the 885 this morning in Acocks Green. If it's on loan and stays out most of the day would have been on the 1 as well.

Niall · January 23, 2015, 02:03:27 PM

YW 4722 is at PB on the 16 today. Left Birmingham for Hamstead sometime around 1:30pm

B.C Driver · January 23, 2015, 05:07:22 PM

4741 also on loan to PB - on the 7s

Ronnoc · January 23, 2015, 08:56:54 PM

I remember seeing 4106 on the 11C the other day. It might've been a transfer or something, or I could've misread again.
