Is there a running board that starts on 98/X64/29 and then finishes on a 45/47 as I have seen it happen a few times now at about the same times. Today I had a ride on 2133 on the 45 which was about 1607 from City but it later failed just after Edgbaston

What happened to the wf streetlite that was at Birmingham few months back?

A bit random but is BC the flagship garage or is it Walsall do people reckon?

There is no such thing as a flagship garage

Depends on how you measure it I guess. In terms of size and the number of higher profile high frequency key corridors then arguably BC is, but you could look at all sorts of metrics.

Saw 4617 today, wandered why I hadnt seen it for a while, then I realised why - the lower back end is freshly painted white so I reckon it had a shunt up its rear. Ooh err missus.

AG runs the company's most iconic route tho doesn't it?

Indeed. But Pensnett has the most portakabins. Actually, let's stop this discussion right here.

There is no flagship garage.

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but why are some of the BC hybrids Harborne branded and some not? I mean it's not like it's only recently, it's always been that way. Just something I've always wondered.

Harborne branded ones are exWN hybrids.

5510-5518 was sent over to BC and the other way round for 5401-5409 (BC to WN) - someone correct me if i'm wrong but some red branding had been recycled from when the Volvos were branded for the 1 back in Wolvo.

But why aren't 5501-5509 branded too? As they're only meant for Harborne use.

Buses are all allocated to routes, yes, but I don't think that calls for every single bus of the same calibre to be branded for strictly one/ a set of route(s). It's like saying why isn't all the Enviro 400Hs all branded for the 1? Because they're bound to show up on another route now and then. Maybe less so at BC but hybrids have appeared elsewhere; including the 14(E), 97, 957, etc..
