You would be correct. They do not have any Enviro 400MMC's.

They don't have any MMC (Enviro 200 MMC or Enviro 400 MMC) and neither do Bordesley.
Though they do have a relatively large batch of 49XX E400 on the 74, 5 and 80/A as well as the batch of 47XX on the Dudley Rd (Wolverhampton also use some relatively new MMC on the X7 on that corridor as well).

4515 on 48A Just Left WB Bus Station

Not noteworthy in the slightest as Geminis are replacing ALX400s. The untrapped Geminis are meant to be on the 48, and the 89

So they aren't trapping the 45** then?

No, That's why they are moving to a garage that doesn't need trapped vehicles next year.

Will the Omnilinks that are currently enter the City Centre on the 17, 55 and 66 at Bordesley and Perry Barr be gettting traps?
I recall reading on here that the buses entering the City Centre will have to be Euro 6 by 2020?

Yes, over 400 traps to fit in 2019

Then why send trapped 4677 (presume 4678/9 are to move in due course) to a garage that doesn't need trapped buses when the garage it's come from sends untrapped ALX400's into Solihull town centre which is Euro 4 when they often get put onto the 72?

Because there are no more untrapped Geminis to send from Acocks Green I believe. Plus the Untrapped ALX400s at Acocks Green will be replaced by the trapped Geminis when the MMCS arrive

Because I do actually know what I am doing, and know lots of other things you don't about the fleet

[Trident 4194]

4236 is one good bus. Very quick indeed! Withdrawal imminent I guess?
