Can anyone confirm whether there's a 49** Enviro on the 83/89 today. Just heard out of my back window what sounded like a 49** decelerating

I agree, I actually prefer them to the Euro 4s though.

It's not uncommon to see non '64 plates on the Soho Road on Sunday's
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

WB usually park all the good buses in the outstation closer to the bus station and keep it locked up on Sundays, just using the buses in the actual garage, so chances are most of the E400s were there
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Looks like 1571 is on loan from Pensnett and is currently in Smethwick looking like it is going into service!

They're hardly going to bother painting it for max 7 weeks service

Anyone know why 1571 is on loan?

Looks like 1571 has been swapped because the times are tracking now. I could be wrong though.

Think that's the one with the washed-out faded window surrounds on the offside.

1571 is currently stuck on West Bromwich ringroad opposite the metro stop. Looks like there's been an accident involving other vehicles. No buses I don't think.

Expect delays to all services from the look of it, nothing was moving

Shame I missed it in its original haunts of Harborne and Bartley Green.

Trident 4609

One for Merc hunters, 1695 is on the 42/3 i'm told.
