Welcome nxwmbusfan1999.

The 900 should now be operated by the new Enviro 400s which have recently arrived at BC.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

The 900/957 have now been upgraded to E400 operation now after 19 (4895-4913) were delivered to Birmingham Central Recently. Tridents do operate a few journeys still but E400's are the allocation now :)
