The Real 4778

I can just imagine the mushroom cloud ... when that lot gets fired up after months of no action

LOL - Greta wouldn't be impressed!  Seriously though, in reality I expect the services will be reintroduced gradually and ramp-up accordingly. 

I imagine that it remains to be seen what impact the period of lockdown might have on active fleet sizes and the buses that never return to service as a consequence.
Don't you start.

Has 4812 come off, not seen that one recently?
Are the Omincity and E400 that are still in service - 4779, 4780, 4799 and 4801, as these are the ones that I've seen over the past few days on the 94. Or are there any others?
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

That doesn't work because about 500 of the parked up buses are not SORN.
It's not worth SORNing those parked after the 1st April until the end of the month

No worries, thought it would save you some hassle.

Yes, those are the only 4 non-platinum deckers currently in use at PB.

Next week at AG, WA & WN extra' deckers are likely to be used with more single decks parked up

Could BY routes be transferred to different depots with double deckers whilst the pandemic is going on, your meant to keep 2 metres and some times on 55 that can prove impossible.

Think 6147 and possibly 6137 as well must be among some of those that have been reinstated at AG.
As think I saw them on the 11 earlier at the Fox and Goose, but they're not on the original list of buses still in use.

The 4/4A have been mostly double-deck from what I've seen this week, so that explains the restoration of more E400s at AG.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
