502-53/289

I've seen 502 on the 205 before - I wonder how long it took to get up the Portway Hill? ;D

I saw quite a fair few today :3

822 - 127 to Blackheath, whilst I was on Diversion.
4819 - 120 to Dudley, walking on Colmore Row.
4489 - with strange bck display, showing '7' as '007'

808 - 24 to Quinton Terminus

Which, to be fair, I saw it on two occasions:
1st. The bus wasn't in service at the Quinton Terminus
2nd. Just as I got onto my bus, I saw it again, on service 24 to Woodgate Valley.

Geminis on the 7 aren't that unusual are they? Great Spots anyway:)

1434 was sneaking into the city centre on the X51 yesterday!

I Thought B1OL's wasn't allowed in Birmingham ?

Exactly...

Strictly speaking, they are allowed when used on any service that has a frequency of two buses per hour or less (every 30 mins or greater).

Still, 4112 was on the 37 yesterday, when it really shouldn't have been, as that has a 5 minute frequency (12 buses per hour).
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
