Not seen 4851 john, but will have a look out when I'm on my way home(:

4259 is peeling more now and is starting to look tatty, possibly out on the 33 as it went up the kings rd and 4850 was coming down possible vehicle swapsie :p

There seems to be an ALX400 out on the 33 quite often lately. Someone has suggested that it either goes onto or comes off a 94. Either that or an 48** Enviro400 is off the road.

I do agree with the state of 4259, looks awful.  4263 is not as bad, but is getting there. I think only these and 4379/4383 at Yardley Wood remain with the wrapped livery. Surely these are a priority for repaints

I thought it was an evening trip but neterless one has been on there everyday this week

Everytime I see 4259 its lost a little bit of paint/vinyl, but today it had lost a chunk I was like :o . I would recommend a repaint soon before its peels more an looks worse (:

John, 4851 still has no front logos, out on the 33

Cheers Nathan. hopefully it gets one soon, as 4851 looks strange and incomplete without one  :)

Probably gain a larger one like 4852 (:

Has it already been posted that 4234 is back in service?

If not it is. Saw it today (on the 65 I think?) looking immacculate. It has no advert frames and has lost the large ugly grille next to the rear route number box, i.e. looks like one of the CV ALX B7s from behind now.

If someone's already posted this please ignore.

I did mention it when it first re-entered service a few weeks ago, but you have solved the mystery of someone supposedly sighting a Trident on the 94, as they said that it had no grill on the back, they must have seen 4234 from behind, so thanks Mike for clearing that up

See these posts from last month

I'm pretty sure I saw a Dennis Trident on the 94 earlier this afternoon (so not the Volvo ALX400), was driving and noticed it did not have the grill on the back so assuming it was not a volvo.

Does this mean that BC might be operating some journeys or PB have some of the Dennis on transfer?

No Tridents at PB. No BC on the 94, must have been a 90

Perry Barr have changed their font size and number size on the LED displays. The destination is now like Central's and Acocks Green's, with the destination bigger than the via points.

2 things I noticed that the 902/4/5s now have 'The Yenton' and 'Mere Green' (902/5 only) as new via points, and the 907 now has via 'Perry Barr' as well.



Also 1841 and 4244 now have NXWM logos.

I've noticed the rear '16' on LED buses (or at least the Scanias) show a thick '16'

I'll look out for you Nath and I'll see which routes 4907 & 4908 on aswell plus do you still want me to look out for any of 4440-4446 while I'm at it :)

[Nathan4775]

Thanks Rob, I just need 4441 + 4442. As the rest of the 44* tridents are 97 Branded (:

Nathan, noticing a trend here in that whichever buses you are trying to find seem to spend a lot of time on the 24. 4442 and 4908 were both on there this morning.
