This is hardly surprising considering WB have not operated routes into Northfield before, it could be the first time sine HY operated the 29 that a Mercedes would be in Northfield. As it was planned that all vehicles with roller destination blinds would be withdrawn by now no new blinds will have been ordered. The only destinations for that area that could be on a WB board would be Hawkesley and Bartley Green, possibly Selly Oak, Cotteridge and Weoley Castle for shortworkings.

The 49 is usually a good bet to find one.

I think Mercs may have ventured into Northfield a bit more recently than that when the 20 route (city to Great Park via QE, Weoley and Northfield) ran.

Yes, it was 2010. One of my pics pf the short lived 20 route. This is the only picture below I have with the full roller blinds in use, all of the other pictures I have are either blank, or they have a black/yellow card in the front window with the destinations on

@John Off topic a bit but I prefer the picture to the left for obvious reasons :)
