[Tony]

178* - 51
4683 - 935 (not sure if it was out all day)

4683 was on running board 997-10 which does nothing other than 997s all day today.
The Eclipse on the 51 was not 178* but was 1765

The Eclipse on the 51 was not 178* but was 1765

Was too far away to see it the full fleet number of 1765 it looked like an 8 from were I was sitting apologies, did 1765 stay out all day or just a peak extra

There was defintley a Gemini on the 935 this morning, It was the Gemini with the Connection bars that are flipped around if that makes sense I thought it was 4683

Every single journey on the 935 today was an Enviro 400, because of interworking I cannot be bothered to post the complete list, but they all start 47xx or 48xx

957 branded 4913 (I think) on this mornings 14E to Tile Cross. Seen at Saltley Gate just before 9am.

First time I've seen an E400 on the 14.

That's probably one of the rarest workings I've heard for a while

I would presume that the 14E gets whatever is in the garage at the time (So most of the time an E200) so instances where E200's have not been avalible a B5LH and now 4913 have operated the board :) Certainly a great spot :) Out of curiosity how many bus types have operated on the 14E board? I know it used to be a B6 and now an E200 most daysbut have tridents (The usual allocation of the 14) operated the 14E trip?

[Gareth]

Occasionally operated by a B7RLE.  I'd be very surprised if a trident hasn't operated it, but as I only do the early morning shift at work every now and again, I rarely see the 14E. But in the past it has always been B6, B7 or E200. Back in the mid 00's there was a 14E to Lea Hall Garage around this time and that was normally Metrobus operated.

Yes tridents have appeared on the 14E Nath if I remember correctly 4176 was one of them :)
