So many replacement bus services that weekend, could see some interesting stuff in use
It is, however, also Pride in Birmingham, so the Saturday services likely to be very busy

I would say NXWM and Green Bus are pretty much guaranteed to be on them with the amount of Replacements happening. De Courcey did what I think was there first Replacements for WMR in March (possibly due to Central Buses no longer being available) so they could be on the Coventry ones. Arriva and Midland Classic likely on the Lichfield's going off previous experience

Still a good sized job! Do you know if any of the older Tridents will be used?

You need a train ticket, as they are replacing trains...

Publicity makes much of the limited capacity on these routes, basically suggesting passengers should not attemp to travel.

Yes, but only as far as Blake Street on the Lichfield services.  Need a Daytripper Plus north of Blake street.
