4099 is an AG President isn't it? Did you mean 4098 or possibly you meant to put 4799?

Are Presidents allowed on the 2/3 or do they break it with a frequency of more than 30 minutes?

No they're not allowed on there

No, they shouldn't be on any of YW's city centre services; however, non-compliant vehicles may be used as a last resort, in order to keep a service running

Thanks for that John :) Do NXWM get fined for instances like this as a fair few Euro 2 buses have been reported on routes which would break the Emissions Zone?

I don't know Nathan, as Matt said they can be used as a last resort rather than no bus running at all

I saw 2-3 buses on Saturday on the 48 and they were both Gemini's

Also Rob is it me or does a B7RLE daily work the 957 as one is reported on here regually. I was wondering whether one board was a B7 and stays out untill late night or whether it interworks with certain 58 journey's?

No B7s dont appear on the 957 in the daytime on a daily basis I think they're just filling in for now while 4899 and 4909 are being repaired.

As far as I know all 957 daytime boards are E400's with Trident's and B7's filling in if any E400's are out of action.

Everytime I see a B7 on the 957 in the daytime its always on a different board. :)

Thanks for the info Rob :) Much appreciated :) Haven't been able to get over to Birmingham since November so haven't been able to see these workings for myself ;)
