4249 is a West Brom Bus, which is on the 5 today. ALX400s on the 907 are not unusual. The 907 is a route that gets any type of decker

It was on the 82/87 this evening. The rear LED has gone wonky again

4750 gone off to paint this evening

I only rode it yesterday! Great bus though. Loving the mix and match TWM moquette... Would be ashame to see them replaced. Though, my inner perfectionist will be calm, knowing that it'll be all uniform. Lol

Which route goes past (Or closest) to the garage

42/43 pass Oak Lane, the main garage. Oak Road outstation is a 2 - 3 minute walk from West Bromwich Interchange.

Oak road is full of buses on sundays so you'll only really see whats parked at the front. I can tell you that 1951 and 1953 are at the front because i saw them on return to garage last night. Oak lane will have buses parked out front all day waiting for engineers attention

4715 is not majorly unusual on the 42/3 as B7TL Tridents and Plaxtons are usual on it

Don't know where you get that from? 42/43 are usually E200 with Mercs covering unavailablity. I can't remember the last time a Gemini was on there, it has happened, but not very often, and certainly never Tridents on there

[Tara4352]

A plaxton was on the other week and a B7 TRIDENT TYPE THING was on Saturday

[Tara4352]

How come 812-818 were at Birmingham central for a month before coming to West Bromwich

You must be talking about a Volvo B7TL/ Alexander ALX400. This is the same body as the NXWM Tridents but the Trident is very different to the B7TL chassis. There are some minor differences to the bodies on these two bus types, they were discussed at length in another thread.

Wasn't it due to a bus shortage at BC at the time?

[uniquicity]

It was an icy period I seem to remember, BC had a few buses off the road with accident damage.

1953 made and appearance on the 42/43 today, first time I think?

[Tara4352]

No not the first time an omnilink has appeared on the 42/3
1951 was on their the other day as i walked into the bus station
