4137 on the 301
1882 on the 302

I have saw at least 1881/2/1895 are some omnilinks to have the new NXWM fleetnames applied from the temporary ones they had when first new and the changeover was only just occurring.

That is something thats puzzled me.

Why paint in the new livery but still have the temporary fleetnames?

1633 > 141 (is this unusual)

Yes, its normally Enviro 400's or B7RLE

Blimey! Is that on all daytime or a peak working?

Yardley Wood also seem to be replacing their temporary logos with new ones, it is quite noticeable on the b10l's!

Not before time, NX seem to have a little purge every now & then and then is stops again. The most recent being all of BY's fleet receiving NXWM fleetnames on TWM livery

1633 is on an all day/night running board of the 141 today.

How many Non-Compliant buses from NXWM actually enter Birmingham City Centre? You would think there wasn't a emmisions zone however come to think of it The 141 is every 30 mins isn't it so would be allowed wouldn't it?

Yes Pensnett have been putting Mercs on the 140, 120 and now 141 lately. All of which are frequent enough to fall under the emissions rules.

Actually, Mercs would be allowed on the 141 no problem, as the frequency is every 30 mins (2 buses per hour). The emissions ruling applies only to routes with 3 or more buses per hour (every 20mins or less). Thinking about it, Mercs would be fine on the 140 too, as that is every 30 mins during the daytime, with the exception of peak times, when there are extra buses added, so the frequency increases slightly.
