595 on the 444
4099 on the 401/2
4268 on the 448B
1795 back on the 311 along with 1881 which is unusual not to see it on the 404
1882/1893/1899/1900/1902/1904 all on the 404 must be a few branded ones off the road today.

4480 has been re-painted because I spotted it in Sutton working either the Sutton Lines or 907

Gemini - working 33
1843 - working 907
4697 - working 115

2066 on the 33 in Wolves.
4012, another Spectra and 4604 (branded for the 59's return ticket) on the 126
Is a Gemini on the 33 in Birmz unusual or not since the arrival of the Enviros? I saw one on there while I passed through Perry Barr.
I also so a white Omnilink on the M5 exit roundabout while I was on the 126. I wasn't close enough, so I couldn't make out it's fleetnumber or whether or not it belonged to NXWM.
We'll get rid of your bus to Wolves and replace it with one to Walsall instead.......... Oh the joy of a Network Review. -_-

4012 was still on the 126 after 20.30
4001 was running the evening route 1
706 - 27
510 - 141
4329/4752 - 6
Enviro400 - 3
4062 - 5
President on peak 37s
1795 - 311/313

I should add, alot of bunching was happening on Birmingham routes today, two 49s (4362 and 4382), three 957s, an hours worth in five minutes (4316,4315,4176 with new engine), two 5s, 8 Brstol Road buses convoying (yes really, 2 or 3 B7RLEs, 3 branded Presidents and 3 branded Tridents, in the space of 2 minutes).

But I will say, took me nearly 40 minutes on 4056 to get from the QE to new Street station because of alot of inbound traffic, yet after a walk across town, it took me 56 minutes to get from Brum to Wolves on 4580 on the 126 (i could rant on about the emission zone in this post but il save that for later)

QuotePresident on peak 37s

As stated several times previously, Presidents commonly appear on peak-time 37 journeys, so they don't really count as an unusual working.

Quote4480 has been re-painted because I spotted it in Sutton working either the Sutton Lines or 907

You sure it hadn't just been freshly washed?  ;)
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

Unidentified Scania Omnilink on the 31A seen in AG village at 15:30ish heading for the City.

I haven't seen any single deckers on the 31/31A since the departure of the B10Ls. I would have thought we'd see some Eclipses on there but obviously not. Having said that, 23 Eclipses replaced 25 B10Ls, so those two workings might just be operated by double deckers now.
