The most I've seen on my last few visits to 18 territory was 1 president a day and the 76 seems solid Trident, saying that I do still see Tridents on both the 49 and 49E but only 1 or 2 a day. I'd like to think Presidents will live on at YW for a while longer yet but I'm not confident!

4096 and 4097 were in convoy on the 18 today, 4370 and 4382 on the 49

When I saw her last week they were still TWM, and that's how I'd like it to stay! :D

I'm sure there was a hybrid (54**) on the 957. It was definitely on a service... There was no indication as to if it wasn't...

when was this ?

Probably around 2:50? It was coming down from Deritend, near Digbeth.

Sure it wasn't on its way to take up an afternoon school / peak working? I've been caught out a couple of times by Hybrids coming up from Digbeth apparently in service only to see as they get closer that they are displaying 22 or 23 route numbers and destinations.

I remember seeing a Hybrid coming down Moor Street Queensway a few months back, thought I'd spotted an ultra rare working, but it was displaying 22 or 23.

PB Sanias 7021 and 7022 both on route 65.

there was a toothpaste Scania out on there too didnt catch the fleet number

Caught a toothpaste omnilink home from work on the 65, didn't note which one cause it wasnt unusual...
...on the other hand i did see another one on the 67, which i'd say was unusual... but I was busy catching another bus at the time so equally didn't see which one

Also genuinely dreamt last night I saw (and caught) a metrobus on the 51... I need to stop drinking
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

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.

If it doesn't sound right, surprised they are letting it go so far away from YW.

Sure 1447 failed on the 27 the other Friday.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
