[Trident 4609]

1673 on loan to WB today, on the 5.

Some photographic evidence for non-believers. (Phone camera, pic through glass, hence poor quality)

Nice photo :) There is no reason why anyone shouldn't believe you ;) WN seem to have be the garage most able to plan buses out atm

...That is certainly not the case, especially one day last week

4292 was on the 48 yesterday.

4229 has finally gained an offside advert frame, making it look a lot smarter now.

It still looks strange with its Trident emergency door as opposed to the usual B7TL one with the long rectangular window

Why does 4229 have a Trident style emergency door? Looking back at the old pics of it, it's been like that since early days of route 65 branding, wonder if it was delivered like that?

No it wasn't delivered with it. I have a pic of 4229 with a B7TL door, it was brand new then.

It must have had it replaced when still quite new due to accident damage etc

Aaah...cheers John. Very interesting.

When in West Bromwich last Sunday I saw a B6 on 48 (I think) and Mercedes 0405s on other routes, isn't there any more modern buses that could be used?

There was an Enviro 200 on the 48 last week too. To answer your question, no, the newest full size singles at WB are the Mercs, all the other Enviros are doing all other 4* routes on Sundays

Noticed 4532 on the 48 today showing "vis" instead of via...

The first thing that springs to mind is a typo, as 'S' is next to 'A' on a standard QWERTY keyboard

[trident4370]

That was my first thought too but thought it might be worth mentioning so it gets sorted as it is probably going to be like that on all the deckers.

Thanks Sh4318 for your reply.

564 and another B6 on 47/47A/49 circuit

One possibly two B6's on 45/43.

I didn't put them in "Noteworthy's" in case this happens every sunday.

Also, 1651 was today's 289E with blank blinds as "Rowley Regis" must not be included
