Well hopefully the 907 gets renumbered soon to the 15 for the sake of simplicity...

The 952 may as well be included for simplicity...

We get the point you two don't like the new numbers but please leave such pettiness for the actual review threads, north Brum will no doubt get its time when such things can be discussed

There was a 70XX Omnilink on the 38 and FD yesterday. 7027(?)
It was always a B7TL ALX400 Monday to Friday whenever I saw it, is it Gemini operated now?
Saw it on the FD entering the City Centre at about 5PM yesterday evening.

Haven't PB lost all their ALX's now? Or at least almost all of them. Probably why it's different bus type now.

It was ALX400 operated until mid July, i've not seen whats replaced them, possibly but would have thought it'd be Gemini operated now? If it is operated by Omnilinks now, would this just be for the Summer? It was said the deckers though empty in the day were needed so extra capacity can be provided on a school time trip?
Looked strange seeing a single decker on the FD, first one i've seen, its always been decker operated even when Green Bus and Thandi operated it, it was operated by deckers.

Does the FD require Deckers?

4503 is on the 67 today complete with a advert on the nearside stating "You won't find many castles in Castle Vale"

Will you be posting a pic @Tony

John · August 15, 2018, 04:18:39 PM

@Jack
Other buses are not noteworthy on the X4s at the minute. An E400 and at least 1 Gemini yesterday. The same on Monday too

Any non exciting news stuff to report in this thread yet?

A garage engineer politely informed me yesterday of the new site location which did surprise me. Are we still not allowed to say? Because I believe it's pretty much confirmed
