@Jack nothing wrong with the streetdecks

They are quite reliable

Not saying they aren't reliable, they look horrid, I'm happy I rarely see them.

The OmniCity's are, Scania products are better than Wrightbus, the StreetWreck's look like they should be wine glasses with all the glass they have.

Out of interest have you driven all vehicle types in the training fleet?

4697 is completely different to drive than the rest. That one is terrible, but get one of the good ones from 4777-80 and they are actually not too bad

I suspect that the MMCs being the only deckers that can be used on the 5 is the issue, even trapped the Volvo ALX400 can't go on forever
I think it had been said they have no intention to get rid of the trapped ALX400 just yet, with Birmingham going Euro 6 in 2020, so they wouldn't go before then? It's a shame that they don't take some of the seat cushions out of the withdrawn refurbed ALX400 and put them into these.
Also the 5 interoworking with the 73 would need about 16 MMC i'd have expected, given there are 16 ALX400?

If they do go to AG then presumably more Gemini will also be leaving AG? Maybe the Gemini will go to Coventry given that they've got 10 B7TL ALX400 there and replace some 43XX Tridents?

Are the 38 MMC comming to AG at present at the minute enough for the 11. As they had 35 Gemini and still used quite a few ALX400 daily? So would they need an extra few so the route can be completely operated by MMC?
If there were excess at AG and they weren't all needed on the 11, maybe they could go onto the 72, and upgrade this rout as this route that was downgraded when the E200 were taken of a while back, maybe they could be joined by 3301 - 3305 on the 72?

I doubt it, as a rough calculation, during the day the 11 takes 2 hours and 30 minutes and 20 buses are needed for the A route and 19 for the C route (if my calculations are correct). So that's 39 buses before you consider peak hour boards, vehicles under examination or repair. Therefore if 6101 -10 are going somewhere, it's bound to be AG. 
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I'm sure it was stated on here that the PVR for the 11A/C was around 44. I do remember reading that on here although whether its true is something I can't verify. Given the calculation you've laid out, it doesn't seem far fetch.

They really are unreliable.

The 4 street decks we have at Worcester are some of the most reliable buses in the fleet. Not sure what PN are doing to them to make them unreliable unless actually this is not correct and the odd breakdown is over exaggerated there.

Slightly off topic but what happened to the 22 hydrogen buses coming to  brum circa march 2019 ?????
Have they delayed this project?
