2206

@Rob2832 I saw 4526 at the Mackadown turning  into St Giles Road from East Meadway heading towards Chelmsley about 9:25 but couldn't see the fleet number properly I think it was on a 72E to Chelmsley Wood but may of been on a full route run or even a 71. Thought it was an odd sight seeing a crimson Gemini at those lights
It would be impossible for it to be a 71.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Due to low bridges I would gather @2206? Though in saying that was a YW Placky on a 71 board which did the YW 72e board as well last week or a couple of weeks IIRC

Discovered this today. If you have a drink at the 11 pubs on the 11, you win a prize...

I think I'd be sick all over the final bus after that pub crawl.

It's nothing. I've done 18 pubs on a 11 pub crawl once.
Start at breakfast etc....

Got an excuse to do it again though now  :D

Seems to me from looking at the suggested pubs that plenty of drinking time is 'wasted' going off-route. 

Need to see how many other juicers are closer to the stops.
Don't you start.

Anyway- what's the point in getting on a bus when you can sit with your glass at the table outside the Inn on the Green and they'll all come past you?

Pretty sure it was in service; lights on and everything, driving through Bearwood

11 branded Gemini going through Bearwood High Street (11C direction), supposedly terminating at Acocks Green. All was understandable, until I saw the destination was for the '1E' and not '11E'... Quite amusing, I must say, to see the 1 in Bearwood.
