Much obliged @V89MOA. Thanks for letting me know. Funnily enough I saw 4283 on the 31 today!

There were a few platinums on the 11 yesterday - looked like those on loan from YW

I saw 7520 on the 11C yesterday.
7520 and the other 75XX are transfers, not on loan.

If you saw a 68xx it must have been on the X2. All the buses on the 5 & 73 are 75xx except for 4289, 6701 & 6702

Today 2210, 2217 and 2219 are all on 11E duplicates between Acocks Green and Erdington via Ward End.
7536 and another 75XX (Possibly 7528) are both on full 11A trips.
Every type currently operating at AG on the 11 today.

2210, 2217, 2219, 7528, 7536, 4289, 4532 and the usual 61XX.

All of AG's Dynamic spares are allocated as E200MMC, so these are booked type and note Noteworthy in regards to this thread. This is so all available double decks can be allocated to normal service.
Edit - Thanks for confirming this.

Is this rumoured 6A route that's set to come into play soon anything like the one that was withdrawn previously in the South Birmingham Consultation?

I've heard (not confirmed) that the 5 will go via Stratford Road to Hall Green College, then Cole Bank Road, Sarehole Road, then as normal until Shirley, then as 6 to Solihull, the 6 will have no change of route and the new 6A will run as 6 to Marshall Lake Road, then as the present 5 to Solihull. A 5 minute frequency between City and Hall Green College (5, 6, 6A). With the 5 re-routed away from Showell Green Lane I would expect the 2 to revert back to its old route. BUT as I stated at the beginning this is not confirmed.

If that was to happen, it would leave a portion of Wake Green Road without a link to City Centre.
