4729 is the first Enviro YW have sent to Walsall for refurb/repaint

Enviros seem to have disappeared off the 35, any idea why?

There is a few Enviros off the road from what I've heard recently :)

The 50 seems to have some Tridents today also so maybe you are right.

All I saw on YW services yesterday was Enviros, toothpaste and NX livery. On the 2/3, 35 & 50

Yet today I was in the bull ring area for a hour and not one toothpaste Enviro appeared, even Scania 1929 was on the 35

Spotter's luck maybe?

Saw one toothpaste on the 6 this evening and had 4739 on the 76E this morning; all the 35s I've seen today though have been Tridents.

The toothpaste would have been 4725, as I saw it on the Stratford Road while waiting for my 37.

The 35 and 50 were hammered this morning due to some temporary traffic lights at the end of kings Heath high street so a lot of us were being turned at some point. There was at least one toothpaste enviro on the 35 (don't know the number), and I was in 4740 which was out till this evening I believe.

Are the plans to use 4718-31 on the 35 0r to use them wherever as the Tridents are?

The plan was to convert the 35 to Enviro400 operation. I guess the spares would be used on other routes, the 18 is one that regularly has the 'Toothpaste' Enviro400s on, as well as most other Trident routes

There was one toothpaste Enviro on the 50 all night last night. A second one came off the 50 at Druids Heath about 20:00 I think

[Liberator9]

Being the only south Birmingham garage with Liberators, I assume this Liberator was YW based. This afternoon at around 3:40 I saw a Liberator come down Poplar Road. Didn't see the service number as it just had 00 on the back; I could only assume it was on the 49 or 76 as they certainly don't turn up on the 6. good to see one back in Solihull, just a shame I didn't catch the no'.

Trident4370 did see 1413 on the 49 today, maybe it was that one?
