Always a pleasure to see a B7rle on the 11. Any idea of fleet number?

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.

There was also one on the 5 heading into City roughly 17:20 in Sparkbrook, haven't noticed one on there for a while. There did seem to be a few Geminis on the 37 this evening, which probably explains these two.

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

Yeah but the 11 is supposed to be 100% President operation? Or is that after YW's transfers?

The 11 is currently President and Gemini operated. It sees more Presidents than Geminis usually

Not a working, but 2086 overtook me (on a 48) out of service on the Lordswood Road heading towards Bearwood this afternoon.

Justin Tyme

4722 was on the 33 this afternoon.

AG operate the 11, not YW.

At the last count (as of Tony's fleetlists 1st June) AG have 58 Presidents, and 37 Geminis.

I don't know the exact figures, but the 11 has a PVR of about 42 buses, the vast majority of which will be Presidents, with the remaining being used on the 1, 73 and 966 also. The Geminis predominantly are used on the 5 and 31/A services, with extras on the 11A/C and 37 services. But with AG, anything can happen, so Geminis will also appear on the 1, 73 and 966, which leaves you with the odd Scania and Eclipse 2 workings on the 11 and other services. Unusual working wise, you'll almost never see a President on the 5, and very rarely one on the 37.

I know AG run the 11.

I meant the 11 will be 100% President operation after YW's Presidents get transfered to AG?
