Won't be 1447 then, I suspect the B10L might be 1471 which should still be at Pensnett

Further to my post in Noteworthy Workings, I know doubles now appear to be the norm on Sundays on the 120, but with the addition of the Streetdecks, is it likely that E400s will be more common on there, or is it more a case of whatever spare doubles are available on Sunday?

I did note a Trident and an E400 on the X10 today, which sounds about right as the X10 is a direct replacement for the 141.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley

120's are now booked DD's on Sundays now, but I imagine it will be a general mix of MMC's and Tridents now, as the 246 only had Tridents on Sunday's anyway so won't make a huge difference to the amount of MMC's out.

Trident 4194

4433-9
4428-x10

Surely they can make x10 fully Crimson operated?

You don't know what is off the road! For all you know there may not be enough crimson tridents to make it fully crimson. The 9 has to take priority of the MMC's but because of the 5 streetdecks they can free up 5 mmc's roughly providing they aren't off the road. It's going to be a rarity that the X10 is fully MMC, until the buses that are to go on to the X10 arrive at PN later in the year.
