Any idea why we had a Trident on loan over an OmniLink or Enviro400 from Yardley Wood? As we have had both of these types from them before, and never operated Tridents


Trident 4609

#144
4574 on WN25. Seen in Wednesfield High St at 17:53


B7RLE on WN59. A swap for something that presumably failed

Beats me. But from YW? That's what I found interesting... First thoughts were that it must've been from BC, until I saw the fleet list. (Thank You, Tony.) :)

Noting unusual about Presidents on the 83/89. Well, the remaining at least. Although, granted, from what I see, they have mostly been Gemini's recently...

Are they not allowed in the city centre? I swear they are not because those routes are in the city centre.

83 and 89 have 2 bus per hour frequency, so don't fall under the emission requirements for the SQPS.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
