@DJ98, WB don't operate Tridents, it will be a ALX400 B7TL on the 87.

4738 - 4762? ;)

Then again, common sense would dictate that the allocated bus on its allocated route is not noteworthy at all.   :P

On NW thread he said a Trident was on the 87. I know the E400's on it are technically Trident but they are the usual allocation, I presumed he meant an ALX400 B7TL. :D

Would've been a B7TL then, my bad. I just assumed Trident from the ALX400 body, since Trident is the most common chassis. Couldn't really tell from the distance though.

I was looking at 4072's oldest photo, and it shows it outside Birdcage Walk in Dudley on the 87. I've always known the 87 to have came into Dudley through Castle Gate island, was it different back in 2004 or would this have just been a diversion?

@MasterPlan Enviro 400s aren't really that unusual on the 48

There was a time when on late night journeys the 120 and 87 interworked, not sure if that had ended by 2004. If this is the case 4072 could have come into Dudley as a 120 and the destinations set ready to depart on the 87. Nights would be light in June.

Ah, didn't know that, thanks for the insight. That does make sense now that I think about it.
Do you know how often the Presidents got onto the 401 on Sundays? I remember catching one home from visiting family in Bradley as a kid, but my memory isn't great. I do remember it being a Gemini most of the time though.

731 which I'm bringing down today is only a loan for a couple of months. So if you want to ride/photo/see it you won't have ling

Does the 74 divert away from the Hawthorns when there's a match on? I noticed a sign on the stops near the ground that the 74 doesn't stop there for up to 90 minutes after the matches end, and I only every saw them heading towards Birmingham while walking back into West Browmich, with none ever passing me towards Dudley.
