Maybe they will. If 4517-34 do all leave for AG and WA, I would that would make 52 vehicles gone with 52 new in at WB.

8 Darts, 9 B6LEs, 2 ALX400s, 7 Mercs and 26 Geminis would have gone including the 46xx ones.

I'm sad to see the 46**s go! and I'll be sad if 4526 goes, great bus that one. I guess we won't know until the Enviro delivery is finished, given those figures, certainly seems that 4517-34 will all leave though

Question is, what are they replacing at AG? Presidents?

I for one am very glad! Returning home and rightly so!

4 B6LE'S 8 MERCS 1 PRESIDENT 8 DARTS 2 B7TL 11 GEMINI LEFT WB SO FAR I THINK,
WITH 7 B6LE'S TO LEAVE & POSS 2 PRESIDENTS?
That leaves about 9 remaining by my count?

Heres hoping they all get repainted/refurbed to the same standard as PBs once everything is in Red and White! Maybe even a return of the famous Outer Circle branding in a years time? :P

That looks so weird. A dot-matrix Gemini on an AG route. It would look even stranger on the Outer Circle. I've got so used to seeing them on WB routes and seeing only LED Geminis on AG routes

On the 11A/C, if one was to board at Perry Barr Crown and Cushion, what the furthest one could go round the circle if one wanted on a £2.10 single?

Interesting question Tom, do i assume that there is no terminus on the 11A/C so a single ticket gives you a journey on the whole circle rather than just to Acocks Green?

There is no terminus on the 11A/C unless it's an 11E short working. There may be a brief wait of a few minutes at the Garage stops on Westley Road (11A) or Fox Hollies Road (11C) if drivers change over.

I answered the question, so why the continued debate?
