Thats not really even worth noting. As @John said yesterday the board doesn't specify in which type of double decker, it just says 'DOUBLE DECKER'

So what? It's good to know what buses are on 77. PB has only just started operating the route. Thanks, @Dylanbusboy45, for the info.

No problem! Thank YOU @P419 EJW for the info on 4105 earlier. Succesfully photographed it on the 13:05 from Walsall  :D

That's fantastic, you're welcome!

Been noting some of publicity around the 7 recently, including:
- colour coded branding at the bus stop (spotted in Newtown)
- revised timetable designs

... so I was wondering if this is a publicity experiment (in its early stages)? Surely, if it weren't, many crimson routes such as the 9, 16, 50, etc... would've received similar treatment by now.

Ain't just the 7
The one bus stop on High Street Newtown, just heading up to Six Ways, that all the Birchfield Road buses stop at as well has a similar 51 branding, weirdly not 33 though.
Curious

Edit -
Seems to be along most of the 7 route now, but not just the 7 branding. Seen 11A/C branding along the shared bit in Witton as well now.

If anyone is interested, it looks like the 77 has a full Gemini allocation today. 4505 on 77/01, 4494 on 77/02 and 4477 on 77/03.

So how come PB have taken this over thought they were at capacity, is this a board on its own or does it link with say the 907 ??

77 is on it's own.

Seeing as WB is getting presidents to replace gemeni's I think that when we get our CV gemini's and especially when we get our platinums we might be giving our ALX400's to WB

I think it's been mentioned before on here somewhere, Walsall are short of drivers....

Has the timetable changed at all then? Would seem a bit of dead mileage for PB to run

[The Fox 4846]

They could run 907E's from Sutton to wellhead lane in the evening

I think what he means is that because all the WA 77 boards finished at Walsall

It would be about the same mileage from the Sutton outers, and less from Chelmsley Wood

Today's 77 allocation for the 77 is a bit different. 4252 on 77/01, 4799 on 77/02, and 4237 on 77/03. Surprisingly no Gemini's today!
