Thanks ! Im unfamiliar with running boards (As to which routes go off and do what) although I get the basic idea of them. I just thought it was a noteworthy working !

Usually it would be in the daytime like yesterday one was on there (On a 902 board)

Is Perry Barr having a open day to recruit drivers in September???

AV4248

Not sure if it's been mentioned somewhere but 4933 has an allover rear ad to "drive this bus", or something like that, looked like a recruitment advert.

I mentioned it, in the BC thread, I think... Same ad, but applied to 4911(?)

4913 has it at Central. I did notice one today on the back of one of the Enviro400s on the Suttons, but thanks for confirming the fleetnumber

Enviro 200 763 was seen on the Phoenix Group Contract this morning passing the 50 terminus at Druids Heath. Does this contract run every day?

Cap Gemini? I don't know if it runs everyday but it runs through out the day as we saw it at 13:16

The Pheonix Group is a different Contract to the Cap Gemini. I think they are both M-F only

The Cap Gemini is usually OmniLink, with the occasional decker or very occasional Enviro200. The Pheonix Group is Enviro200 operated, Solos beforehand

I think it runs every weekday, usually a short E200 but I have seen B7TL and Enviro 400 on there when an E200 isn't avaliable... John you beat me to it  ;)
