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.

There were at least 2 out on the 18 as well, Trident shortage? Was on 1917 on the 18, have to say I much prefer the later Omni's to the WA examples, seemed a much smoother ride

B7RLEs common on the 53? Saw 2079 in Merry Hill(i think - was some bus stops in the way)
Mercs common on the 1? Saw 1672 in Sedgley earlier

Good spot. It's usually very rare for a WA Omnilink in enter Birmingham

Saw it at Scott Arms about quarter past 5, had to double take, weird

B7RLEs aren't common but aren't really rare on the 53, however 1672 on the 1 is a rare spot.

Saw that same journey in Bilston! Didn't think it was that unusual actually, thought it was usually a mix of mercs and B6s

I live near part of the 53 route too (then again, doesn't everyone!), they aren't exactly common but certainly aren't rare.
