Gemini about to go past your house on the 1 if you live on Shirley Road :)

Therefore will the Presidents get withdrawn or sent to other garges e.g. YW,WB,WN


And isnt there any tridents that have a fleet number higher than 4125 ?

[Stu]

The Dennis Tridents are fleetnumbers 4125-4224 and 4305-4414. The later Transbus Tridents are 4425-4474 and 4536-4634.

The Presidents won't get withdrawn yet, as they've still got a few years left in them, but they're likely to be used on non-city-centre routes at AG and WB, and maybe elsewhere.

Presidents are 13 years old, tridents are 8-10 years old
80/127/128 get a mix of all B7 doubles (ALX400s, geminis and presidents)
59/60/957 are operated by Dennis and transbus tridents, presidents on these routes are rare

I believe its anything older than a Y reg, so all Merc O405's, B6's, B10's, the Darts at WB, Presidents and Spectras, that's all I can think off, anymore?

What about route 636 wich is B6LE operated
What about route 31/31A/61/63 which are plaxton operated because BC dont have enough buses to fill services 61/63 if there not allowed into Birmingham, if anything the Tridents should not be allowed to enter Birmingham as there older
80/127/128 are all Plaxton Operated with the odd ALX400 operating
Service 1 is also Plaxton Operated
59/60/957 are also Plaxton operated

All of BC routes operate into B'ham so they carnt swap buses with other routes if you get what I mean

Service 60 is quite common to plaxtons

I was on Birmingham Moor Street every day this week, bar Tuesday, and I didn't see one Paxton president on the 60

Service 60 is My Route and I have seen at least 2 or 3 President's on it this week, I know one of them was 4116 but cannot remember the others ;)

Service 59/900/957 are rarely Plaxton Operated
Service 60 Trident & Plaxton Operated  ;D as I saw today

[John]

The 59 does have President's on it quite a bit, Last time I saw it there was 2, 4028 and 4031.
I agree with the 900 and 957

Ohh i thought the 59 was a Solid Trident route

[John]

It depends, it can vary from having 100% Tridents some days to a mix of both Presidents and Trident's other days.

[Nathan4775]

Does the 900 ever have an Plaxtons ?
I know the 957 has Plaxtons & Tridents

[John]

Yes, President's used to appear on there a few times, before BC transferred a lot to AG/WB. After this, no, they are all Trident's perhaps for the very rare occasion.
