Have noticed the 7 has been near enough Alx operated for the last couple days as opposed to majortly Gemini, think they may have swoppped some with the 65 as that is seeing more Geminis

Or the 94, which seems to be almost fully Gemini operated recently

Assuming these could be the new buses for the 94, would be a bit of an upgrade over the ALXs

I suppose. But the 94 has been part Gemini for a while, and like Winston said, they're still 11 year old buses. But yeah, certainly better quality than the ALXs

...and a downgrade for the 7... But let's be honest who cares about the 7, really?

Not me. I mean, not saying it's a bad route, but there's barely any stops in the Newtown area... I say B7TLs fit in perfectly. I'd even dare to say bring back Presidents for the 7...

That would be breaking the Birmingham Emission Rules due to being Euro 2 engined

Your lucky to have a route that isn't cared about, the older stuff is much better!
All my local routes are new enviros now and Its so boring I prefer to drive

Fair point, it is the principle, unfair distribution of resources and competition all be it limited operating timetables whipping the ass of NXWM. (In the time period of the last 4 years)

I thought I'd seen 4947 on the 829 this morning, unless it moved to PB this afternoon?

Correct. The private hire was this evening, so PB only needed to borrow buses for the evening peak

We has 1817 (if I remember correctly) as well, was on the 46s

I passed 2 of the Scanias by the Dog Track tonight, thought it was strange they were in convoy coming down the Walsall Rd, obviously now they were coming from the M6
