Birmingham Central Garage

[Liverpool Street]

Unless the GPS on one is working incorrectly - no
There are 16 on the 900/957 with 6703 & 6712 in garage

Did see a 900 branded MMC heading outbound on the Bristol Road about... 16:30-17:00 Selly Oak area?

Saying that it might of been a trident.

Bad eyes.

There is a cider avert bus still going

[Trident 4609]

24/29 are double decker. I presume they interwork still? 4873 seen on the 24 and a 550* on the 29.

Not the first time. ;) One of them had ventured on the 29A?

Until recently one of the late night 29s at least some nights of the week came off a 22/23 board so would see Hybrids.

Does this mean B7RLEs moving from BC and more deckers coming in?

Although it now goes to 'Woodgate' (it's actually Bartley Green), the 22s I've seen today have still been showing Kitwell.

No idea. But the 29 must have a PVR of around 12 or 13 (random guess) and if it's now double decker, which it needs to be with the reduced frequency, I can't see where 38 B7RLEs would be needed. Unless something else has changed / is changing to single decker.

The B7RLE are needed for the 58/59 and 98 though
Why would all 38 leave @Mike K ?

Mike K never suggested all 38 would leave, only where all 38 would be required.

X64 should be B7RLE as well

That's not what I said, I asked if B7RLEs would move away, but they couldn't all go as they are still needed for the X64, 58/9 and 98 as you say. I don't know the answer to any of this, just wondering if things would change with the 29 going double decker.

Although the 22 has been extended the blinds haven't been changed as not to confuse regular passengers. (According to the notice I read)

Re the X64 being single deck, this did happen but the last week it was pretty much all DD. Not sure what's going on there. I think an extra bus has been added due to the frequency increase...

4877 currently being put out by firemen. Engine fire. Currently parked under the bridge where the 957 route meets the 6/37 in Digbeth. Was a city bound 957.
