Has 4920 been out in service yet?

Does this garage have any other focus apart from the Sutton Lines.

Like any garage, comments are focused where the forum members are.

Fair point, the other routes can just plod along with no plans to grow or increase passenger numbers, just a view point.

Just an opinion. But if the 94 deserves an upgrade (not saying it doesn't), than doesn't the 14, 70 & 97 deserve one too. The 97 runs 24 hours with 9 year old Tridents

I'm not really that bothered, was just being childish. I understand limited resources etc.

I do believe the 94 deserves better buses, but then I thought of the 14, which has the same overall frequency but sees mainly 41** tridents

No no no no.

There might be plans to upgrade other services at Perry Barr, they won't upgrade all routes at once. The Sutton Lines must be Perry Barr's most profitable group of services, and in order to encourage who live in Sutton to use the bus instead of their cars is to upgrade them with new high quality buses

I am a longtime resident of Sutton Coldfield but,far from encouraging me to use the bus more,the hideous branding and the frivolous naming will make me more determined to continue in my car.
Can we not get back to substance instead of gimmicky promotions.........I,and all Suttonians I know,are capable of reading destination blinds.
On Sunday,4923 (in full branding and named) was happily running on the 914,towards Sutton despite showing Birmingham on the blinds,merely confirming the absurdity of it all...........TrentBarton have much to answer for.
No wonder Victor Meldrew thrives.
