It is and it isn't. B7RLE's are fairly common on the 276 and should be booked on Sundays too

I know the 276 is fully B7RLE operated on Sundays which interworks with the 243/4 Evenings.

I wondered as its usually Mercs Mon-Sat but i have more B7RLE's recently

I was called out tonight, for a errand...
Whilst waiting at my bus stop to go home, I saw 2 unusual workings.

There was a 31A driven on a Scania Omnilink, but, just when it didn't get weirder... It was on 37 Branding.

And... on my way INTO the City, I saw what i believe was 4697 on route 935 or 936?

Matt just told me the 31A/37 do interwork evenings (Don't know this myself so if anyone can confirm that will be great).

4697 on the 935/6? 935/6 are WA routes and so is the 934 before someone trys say

Must've been a mistake. But, i defo did see 93_ on the display... The bus was too shaky, and was turning a corner, so i didn't get a proper glance.

They don't interwork as such, a couple of the early evening 37s go onto the 31A for the evening journeys. I presume they run to Solihull as the 37, then from the station head up Streetsbrook Road to Robin Hood Island to start as a 31A.
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

3612 was driving about on Colmore Row around 12:00 today?
Any idea what route or what it was doing?

I very much doubt WB have a dart on service on a Sunday, more likely being used as a runaround or driver route training
