Re: E252

Looks like it did a circuit of the Outer Circle to mark the launch of a new exhibit at the Library of Birmingham - hence appearing in those parts of the city today

Saw 4771 on the 49 at the Maypole. Been a while since I last saw her, and this was the first I've seen her in dark grey.

Any specific services they'll be placed on or not?

I would guess they'll just be allocated wherever needed, provided the driver is trained to drive them.
My locals:

11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

A trident on the 6 is not noteworthy at all. They are in there daily

It IS noteworthy because their days are numbered, especially appearing on the 6.

When I've been to Hall Green to spot 6's, it's mostly the branded electrics and platinums. Very rare you see anything else.

Have been seeing the odd Route 6 electrics on the 2, 50, and 76 too.

I've seen a few on there the last few days nothing noteworthy at all, same goes for the 50 and the other City services.

Yes, there have been a couple of Tridents used recently on the 6, but they are not the usual allocated type, hence why they are considered 'noteworthy'.

Are we using the same notion for when one appears on the 2/3 or 35? Or when a E400 appears on the 6 or 50 because i'm sure that would be spammed.
