If they are to transfer, which now looks likely, then they will not move to Yardley Wood until the new Sutton Lines vehicles are in service. Maybe Perry Barr could only spare 1 before the new deliveries are put into service

I thought it was 97A.

It certainly wasn't on the 50 at 10 o clock when I travelled the entire route, and I didn't see it yesterday when I waited either. If so far it has only been used on peak 50s, it could be the case that it's running from BC on the board 50/99?

Was on the peak running boards again today and is definitely at Yardley Wood (dunno if its permanent or if any more are coming down), should have been back in the garage for 10:30 though so you may have missed it, was also out in the afternoon on the running board (26?) which includes a run on the 18 from Cotteridge to Yardley Wood before going onto the 50.

4763 on 8/89
B7RLE on 97p all day
B7RLE on 24 all day
2094 on 205, actually quite rare to see anything other than a Merc on the 205.
1660 on 4
4595 on 82

[trident4370]

It might have gone back early if there was a defect I guess. I guess it could be the same as with the toothpaste omnilinks, "looking after them" until they go to their proper home, but I would like to think it's permanent!

Think that with mass Merc withdrawls now very imminent (1540/1 gone), they are seeing how B7RLES cope on the other regular Merc routes.

Yes there is, not every day, but a B7RLE does make it onto the 97 regularly

Oh no, rode 1540 on the 141 not so long back, if only the superior older Mercs had been fitted with a ramp! What a waste. Hope they're accepting offers on 1515 as it has to be saved...
