John pictured 4086 on the 83 in Birmingham this month.

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.
Is there a link that leads to a document or something saying what the emission rules are?

I saw 662 in Stourbridge around 1410.I hoped it was on the 276 but it then vanished so not sure

domino.99

'New bus station in Merry Hill'... Yeah ok.

P419 EJW

I wonder how long 662 will stay at Pensnett.

the trainbasher

662 is on the staff bus today, not the 276!

Looks like everyone misses a nice rare working this morning.

4296 was out on the 9. It is still at Pensnett so may reappear this afternoon

Saw it in Colley Gate but was not 100% sure, you've confirmed it now.

Looks like it will be doing the 16:00 (to the Merrivale) and 17:30 (to Dudley) 120 from Birmingham tonight if anyone wants to sample a rare chance to get a B7 on the 120

Rare chance to get a B7, I thought that was the main allocation?

Rare chance to get a B7TL as opposed to B7RLE

PE are short of buses.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
