4738 was also on the 6

The only decker I saw on the 6 today. I was hoping there would be a 'Toothpaste' Enviro400 on the 6 today, but no.....

This last couple of days they've been sticking to the 49 for some reason, 4721 was on the full 49 yesterday. I've also seen 2 presidents on the 76 this week which is unusual.

I was hoping to see and get a pic of at least 1 'Toothpaste' Enviro400 in Solihull, but all of the 49s I saw were Trident's, as well as the 76s. I didn't even see a President on the 49

Aww it sounds like you're not having much luck! :(

I did not have much luck in Solihull :( Apart from that, I didn't have a bad day. finally found 4111 and also got a pic of 7026 without even trying

I've still not even seen 7026 at YW, I don't think it's been on the 27 yet but who knows maybe this week I'll get lucky!

Had ride on 4718 on 50 and it still seems one of the best,no rattles or odd noises. YW appear to be looking after it. 4729 in Kings Heath on 35. How long has this been in the latest livery?

In a recently filmed video on Youtube, it was making a dodgy whistling/screeching noise each time it pulled off. Has this been fixed?

[trident4370]

4718 no odd noises? It is the screechiest Enviro of the lot! That isn't a bad thing though I would rate it as the best one out of the toothpaste batch, rattle free, powerful and tuneful!

Re filbus1

4729 was refurbished during December and returning to service early in January

Sorry, I should have made it clear I was referring to the bodywork on 4718 being very good. It does still have a sound like air leaking when pulling off but if it has had it for a long time it obviously is not a problem or it would have been sorted. I have worked and travelled on buses for 50+ years and know there are many buses with their own little quirks. 4718 is no exception.

Thanks for clarifying Filbus, I personally wasn't having a go I just thought you might have got the fleetnumber wrong!

In an unrelated matter I saw 7026 this morning for the first time on the 6 so Is it now safe to assume it is a permanent transfer, I should imagine we will know for definite next week when the fleet changes are published but in the meantime are we all saying it is a transfer now or is it still a possible loan?

Well as you say we won't know until the fleet changes are published but it seems likely that its a transfer

Sadly I think you may be right, assuming it is the first of a few, I guess it could soon be bye bye B10s at YW :(

Luckily I still get them over here on the 69 but I also imagine time is running out for the B10's at YW and WA :(

1430 being the main one ;) All I can say is, I will really miss them when they are gone.
