I know i'm not part of the admin team, I was just saying how often it happens.
It can. There may be less of them at AG, but it certainly does happen just as often.
I've been travelling into Solihull everyday for the past 2 weeks and there are certainly always about 2 on the 58 most days with a couple on the 5/73.

That's not correct, This week AG have been able to be a lot better and for instance on Monday the 5/73 was 100% 4276-91, The 58 was 2227-9 and all the branded ones were on the 4

There've certainly had some of route at points this week (i'm sure i've seen a few on the 5/73 and 58 over the last week and had at least one or two turn up while i've been waiting for the 58), though i've not really paid much attention to them and how often they were happening/how many were of route, so I never noticed that they were better than previously, this week.

So that leaves 4508-4517, 4519-4523 left blaring their fans. That's a real shame. @MW, looks like it's just these ones left :(

Has 4518 had e-fans installed? It's uncharacteristically quiet every time I see it

No, it was fixed a while back. No trap or anything.

@Jordan the older E200s that have transferred to AG will be a regular sight now on the 5 and 73, as well as the 31

I'm not sure what thread to put this in but is there any news on 4520 is becoming a training bus or not

Tony's list shows it in paint so it should appear as a trainer eventually.

Thanks for that

Lol that list has shown it in paint for a year or so!

I see it's sitting in Miller Street when I passed yesterday and looking a bit abandoned with tyres stacked against it and panels missing off the back so maybe there's a problem. Does the list need updating?

No. It is still with 'Service Support' which includes the paint unit waiting for a chance to be finished mecahnically before going back to Walsall for the actual paint.

Thanks for clearing that up.

832 is on the 5 & 73.
(If I've worked it out correctly, 9:55 off Brum)

See @Stu's post above Tony did say these will be used on the 5 and 73.
And to be honest i've seen quite a few on there now.
It was on Old Lode Lane heading into Solihull st 08:40 this morning.
Though 832 and 6843 were leaving a few  passengers behind on Old Lode Lane and Hobs Moat Road earlier today at 08:40 this morning with both buses full to capacity and driving straight past some of the stops. 832 seemed to be full to capacity (reduced capacity compared to a MMC) and 6843 was also full to capacity (the X2's are usually already full with passengers from Birmingham, Yardley and Sheldon at that time in the morning by the time they get to the Wheatsheaf going into Solihull.
