They can also occasionally appear on the 120, 140 and 141, but this is very rare

Its not always easy to get a Mercedes on the 83 or 89 so don't take it for granted, on the last day of my visit 1589 was the only one allocated to those routes that day and it had gone by the evening. I was trying to have an all Merc day but it fell at the final hurdle when I found it impossible to get one back to Brum that evening.

They shouldn't I know but the mercs occasionally still appear on the 80 normally if a single decker is used on the 80 it's an enviro 200.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

The 83/89 is mainly B7TL these days. But Mercs still do appear, I think the sudden allocation of B7s is due to the Summer Timetables in place
