...and today!

I think 6145 was the one I saw this morning in Sparkbrook.

[Ronnoc]

6146 was the one.

[John Stait]

Thanks for that, and I realise Tridents are used on there, but 8 in one day is fairly unusual though, usually 3-4 on there.

And 6124

Sorry for probably enquiring for what is the 1000th time, but how's 1926 doing? Last time I heard it was up at Carlyle.

I'm still curious to know what is happening to Gemini 4520; I assume under repair, but not necessarily to be a full service bus thereafter. Talk has been of it becoming a Driver Trainer - but I don't think Tony has confirmed [or denied!] that yet.

As I have mentioned twice before, this is a daily working on a 50 running board

[Eric Shaw]

4092 left the garage this morning about 11.30.a.m and went along the Wythall bypass then going on towards Alcester.

When I was type training at AG, we went down to Stratford upon Avon in a Plaxton. 50 odd mile round trip I think it was. They were doing a Private Hire in Stratford at the time, which I think Tony took part in. 6147/8 were the vehicles I believe. Anyway, we were doing the risk assessment for it and type training at the same time, which was fun.

4698 sighted at PB yesterday (where it belongs)!

4698 sighted at PB yesterday (where it belongs)!

It is getting accident repairs. I did notice it last night, along with future trainer 1408 having repaneling work

[Ronnoc]

Somebody has told me that 4698 has returned. Has it?
