There was a Trident parked in the middle of centenary square when I went past at lunchtime, and 4170 has been in the car park of Birmingham metropolitan college on Jennens road all afternoon (I think it was leaving as I walked past at 3pm.

It was 4629, promoting a play taking place at the REP, set around the Outer Circle route. It even had 11A on the destination blinds

Would that be the first time a 46** Trident has displayed 11C (Those temporary trips to cover gaps in service all displayed 11E didn't they?)

Probably not, I photographed 4148 on one of those trips with "11A Outer Circle via Selly Oak" on the blinds, I think they did so much as a full trip then changed to 11E, I guess it would depend on how big the gaps in service were on the day.

I apologise.  Was making Bham Central Driver aware that there was already a thread for it

B7LE was on the 73 route few days ago. I think this is first time I've seen it to happen.

Unbranded E400 on the 29E

You what? @Sayeed_M

One wonders if that's the 829 which is now put with the Castle services?
