There was an ALX 400 on WB 89 entering Birmingham at 7:30 this evening. I know Geminis get on there fairly often but not sure about ALXs.

Fairly common ;). However, Presidents and Geminis are more common

Thanks  :) I was expecting that would be the answer - I normally just see Presidents and Geminis

And I think a untimetabled e working

WN598 is on the 10 today so either the perton barrier is jacked or it has a portable actuator.
The B6's are spreading their wings as 555 was on the 6a yesterday morning
Preserving a bit of West Midlands heritage with 1037 and 1849.

I saw that this morning on Burney Lane heading into Birmingham.

I think that 'E' working might be the unusual one of the day, nearly always operated by an Enviro200 (albeit ubranded)

As mentioned in another tread, it'll be a loan as 4616 was on the 2 last week. Came back the day after. Besides, I highly doubt BC would be losing 54reg Tridents with so many Y-Reg 41xx's still there.

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.

598 did 4 and a half trips on WN10 this morning

Ossie

6027 noted around midday heading up Rectory Road (Good Hope Hospital) away from Sutton.  Couldn't tell if it was in or out of service.

Can't think for a moment that it was on the 115/914, so I guess it was heading to Fairfax / Willmott schools for an afternoon schools service .... although it was pretty early if that was the case.  I have seen bendis on these schools services before, but they aren't common.

Some of the B6's have transponders for the 62A that was extended to Perton as of the 26th Jan. 598 was on another route this afternoon
