According someone on twitter, a regular user of 74/75 said that national express invests more into Harborne routes that get newer buses than soho road.... wow so the 61/13/14 buses that run the Harborne corridor are younger than the 14/64 plates that have been invested into the soho road hahaha

Assuming this is an ordinary commuter, as opposed to us enthusiasts, spotters, etc... - then they may not have noticed the plates and perhaps think the hybrids are the newest buses in the fleet. I know my non-enthusiast friends call the Euro V (and below) Enviro 400 "the 9 buses" - despite the MMCs... Lol!

Maybe repaint the soho road buses crimson. Everyone i know think crimson = brand new bus. I feel the crimson looks shiny therefore they think its a new bus

Crimson does give the impression of new buses - however very very unlikely the Soho Road buses will be done for a few years considering they're still fairly new, and there's a far more pressing need to repaint other vehicles in the fleet (e.g Newer BC Tridents, YW Scanias, remaining Geminis etc.)

I know that they are not priority to paint, my point is paint a bus crimson they think its new. My grandad said to me, i went on a new bus earlier it was a single deck (WB48) and i said its  nearly 6 years old 😂😂😂

Last week while on the 120 a passenger was praising the "brand new buses" on her local route - the 87, even reckoned they had wifi on them!

I might have to go to Bagnall St ( by waterside st) in West Brom there's one nx route that stops right outside where I need to go it's a 40 something the one that uses mini e200  & goes to and from Tipton.  are there any other route that would get me within walking distance of my destination guys?

Central Buses 30
The 44 dosen't go to Tipton anymore and is West Bromwich - Harvils Hawthorne Circular it only goes to Tipton on Sundays now when operated by Igo.
Google Maps says the 75 (Birmingham City Centre - Wednesbury) stops a 13 minute walk away.
