So Perry Barr gets bus fleet number 7000, is this the only time a *000 has ever happen?

7000 has been used before, a Fleetline (WDA 700T), and also 3000 Mk2A Metrobus

4777 has just left Birmingham on the 907A; thought they'd be banned from the Suttons, or was that just the Expressway services?

Wonder what this means for Diamond now. With both the 50 and 16 having gone / going Platinum.
Do people still use the Diamond 50?

People still wait for Diamond 16s in Hamstead, they just prefer a quieter bus

On a similar note, I'll often get the 530 from Bilston to Wolverhampton, rather than walking down the road and getting the 79, since it's usually quieter and doesn't take that much longer.

7/101 will get platinums due to the debranding of the E400s

No.

The '16' is going Platinum.

[Tony]

7/101 will get platinums due to the debranding of the E400s

Apart from
A) they're not being rebranded
B) they're not getting platinums

they had to shake-up half of the E400 fleet for the 3 routes. 16's first, then the 7's and the 101's.
