The 29 does have a fixed allocation, all boards are nominally allocated B7RLEs

Is this the case on Sundays too?

Depends what the 24 gets on Sundays (I don't know), as the 24/29 interwork

Does it? The last time I boarded a 29 on a Sunday into the city centre it didn't change to a 24

Yes 24 & 29 have interworked for ages on Sundays. Normally Hybrids on Sundays supplemented by odd Enviro 400s

Do they still interwork in the evenings as well?

I saw a 487* on the 24 change onto a 29E last night (Municipal Offices); I guess that answers that question :P

Do they still interwork in the evenings as well?

Yes, 24 arrives into city at 29 and 59 mins past the hour, and 29 departs at 00 and 30.

Does that apply to both 29s coming from both Northfield and Frankley?

All evening journeys continue to Frankley, there is a 30 minute frequency across the route in the evenings.

I thought the last two went to Northfield?

I thought the last two went to Northfield?

The 23:00 and 23:30 only go to Northfield, yes.
Looking at the timetable, yes they interwork with the 24 as well.
The bus on the 24 arrives in the City Centre at 22:59 and 23:29 and the bus leaves 23:00 and 23:30 on the 29.

But you asked on the ones from Northfield, not to.

How come 4877 cadbury bus is on the harboure services would of thought  it would of been on 45/7 or X61 /63  as they run nearer to cadbury world

Just because a bus is branded for a certain thing doesn't mean it runs on the routes that in this case go to Cadbury World it's up to the garage which route they put it on. Another example say a WA Trident was branded for Sainsbury doesn't mean it goes onto the 66 every day of the ad it would be getting no revenue it would say work the 10, 10A to encourage people to shop at Sainsbury Hint Revenue is the key word here and Brand Exposure

[Westy]

To be honest, there should have been a Cadbury bus based at AG or PB & put on the Outer Circle, as that runs near to Cadbury World too surely?

(Unless it's moving around the depots, like in the old days?)
