I never used to see that one anywhere. Recently I seem to see it everywhere.

One hell of a way to spend an afternoon! Did you get off one stop after you got on, but a whole trip later? hah

Haha, I know right? xD I got off at the same bus stop after I got on. It was in Westley Road, Acocks Green, near the roundabout. I get on 37 to AG then 11A, a full circle, get 37 back to Birmingham.

'Fare' play! Last time I did a full 11 was when 30XX Metro's were the norm! Happy days.

Sorry, I should've clarified. Passenger, Bham Central Driver, I've never worked at PB or AG.

I worked at PB for a couple of months when they were short of drivers, I did the 11 a few times (PB did mainly the 11C and AG the 11A).

It was strange for me being a 45 / 47 driver turning right at Cotteridge island instead of the normal left!  :)

One of the buses I was lucky to have on the 11 was 3124.

I also drove 1481 on the 7.

Did the 11 run from there then? Or was it of a similar split with AG etc?

The only depots I've worked at was Cotteridge (many, many, many years ago), left the Company for pastures new, and then came back in 2002? to Birmingham Central. I've done a stint at YW for when the 50 transferred and one other time but I can't remember why some BC drivers changed  :-[ . [Maybe Bham Central Driver can help me here] If I remember correctly. I'll have to get some more accurate dates from looking at an abundance of paperwork I've found in the loft. Even found some old WMT timetables and garage paperwork. Also a little late running book from WMT era. Probably worth selling that crap as I've no use for it; I'm sure I'll forget what paper is soon enough  >:(
