344 has just this second come through Perry Beeches. Blast from the past haven't seen a President along here for a good 14/15 years, never seen a TGB bus through here either.

Most likely heading to/from Beeches swimming baths

Stuharris 6360

Bus 126 is on the 242 today, missing it's rear number plate, surely illegal?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

@the trainbasher Enviro 400's too by the looks of it...

Not necessarily, that's just a (fairly cheap) Photoshop template that's available for purchase online. By your logic, this means that Chaserider are getting E400s too.

New livery coming soon...

It will be interesting to see how many receive the livery or remain in former operator livery.

Depends if by "new" they mean actual new buses, or "new"ly livered buses.

toying with the idea of ex-Abellio ones, with a number having been withdrawn at Battersea recently

Apart from one obvious one in that line up (the E400 MMC), I wonder if any of those other E400s have been trapped to Euro6 spec?

TGB have some school routes that operate within the CAZ I'm guessing, have they any Euro6 vehicles already?

I'm just hoping we don't have a repeat of when TGB started complaining about emissions standards after buying a load of Plaxton Presidents dirt cheap from NXWM!  ;D

I don't think they do have anything within the ring road at present @Stu, some go round the ring road. So none within the CAZ. I've seen 846 for example in Ladywood area on the 8 route.
Only 1, 882 commencing September 2021 due to a route change. Which runs through the Jewellery Quarter from what I can see on the website. But none within the main City Centre area still though.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.
