Actually, no. I love travelling on B6s. I enjoyed the journey. Surprisingly, it wasn't packed from Walsall, had around 15 people on it.

I agree completely, would choose a B6 over a poxy Trident regardless of the circumstances!

I think most enthusiasts would! Spectra's,a B6 and a merc on the 59 today,much better than the green plastic machines

5511 was on WN 59 this morning so was taken off and placed on 126's.Most likely replace a failed trident :)

Nathan - i'd only just got on a 126 to nip from Five Ways to New Street signalbox and sat downstairs so ended up with a picture with reflections and  a virtually unreadable destination display and missed 4908 on 22 completely  ::)

Here's an unusual combination:

900 branded E400 4895 on the 14, driven by a Harborne rota driver.

I can't recall an E400 on the 14 before. Have there been other workings before this, or is this a first?
