I don't really care. They usually appear on 83/89 anyway. It's just the feel of the older buses being used instead of Wright Gemini's or Alexander Dennis' ( They're all B7TL, i know ;) )

Presidents are still allowed on the 83/89, because they are an half hourly frequency

Same with the 73 by me that still operates president's but they can put 1 or 2 Geminis on there too

4154 was on the 35 this morning, possibly a president replacing transfer, possibly a short term loan or possibly a new peak BC board (although that seems unlikely given the time it was running)...

Are you sure?

Link please. I wonder if this is the start of another batch of Tridents going from Central to make way for ex-PB buses to be sent to BC to upgrade the Pershore Road? Saying that BC is still 4 buses over official capacity.

I get Presidents as well as ALX/Gemini B7TL on the 83/89, so I'm a bit spoilt for choice :P

As 4111 was also seen at YW, I wonder if they were just suffering a vehicle shortage and borrwing off BC & AG
