102 on the 50 too. Naughty Naughty... (It's a president)

Its a 51 plate trident so its allowed

Putting my pedantic hat on again, you're actually both right, its a Plaxton President Trident  ;)

Sorry to be even more pedantic but its a Dennis Trident with Plaxton President bodywork ;)

101-105 are Euro 2 despite being 51 plates so i presume they shouldn't be in the City Centre

I thought euro 2 spec vehicles met the emission regulations

Nope, Euro3
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

all non low floors and 101-105 are not permitted in the city centre. shame really as 101-105 are decent vehicles

P419 EJW

Just saw a TGB employee, probably a bus driver, wearing a National Express jacket while wearing a TGB uniform on the tram to Birmingham.

Trident 4194

A driver on 142- always wears green bus uniform. Any ideas?

well the 142 is operated by Kidderminster, so i would presume that he has transferred from TGB to Diamond and is awaiting his new uniform?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

fleetline6477

Does anybody know how things are going with the Redditch route 62?

mikestone

I might have been able to tell you if the one I saw parked up in the bus station hadn't  left early presumably in front of the Diamond service.

fleetline6477

What vehicles are they running on the 62?
