Was on 7525 on the X20 earlier heading from University towards Birmingham City Centre and as it crossed the bus gate at George Road, there was a NXWM Hydrogen Streetdeck (H1001) waiting for 7525 to cross the bus gate at the lights on the ring road heading towards Five Ways Island.
Where is it going?

At the time of posting, H1001 was the only one that had been delivered. It's also (currently) the only one with any vinyls applied, which would make it easier to differentiate.

Just seen 3302 on the 51 on Priory Queensway if anyone wants it.

Did the afternoon 51S from King Edwards judging by bustimes.org. 3303 was on the afternoon one yesterday two, meaning a Streetdeck has been in City three days in a row this week. Probably something that hasn't happened since they were at Pensnett! 😂

4860 has been debranded from the 51.

It was most likely same one I saw around 6:35, this morning on the M6 just before J6 heading into Birmingham

Is Walsall keeping the debranded 51 vehicles  or are they going elsewhere?

It appears that they've found their 'happy' place at Walsall and the 77s.

Got a ride on 3302 on the full route of the 77 today. Sad that these left PN, however a couple of students on the bus seemed to be impressed with its London like look.

@Wumpty I've noticed they can usually be found on WA7 or WA77. They also seem to creep onto WA6, WA10, WA37, WA41 and WA51 (afternoon 51S school working) occasionally. Then every so often one will creep onto a City Platinum route (usually as a change bus or off an afternoon school working).
