2) my camera doesnt allow me to take fast moving images, even though I set it up correctly still comes out blur

I know how you feel about that one, mines the same, hit and ,miss for moving vehicles! My camera is in for repair so am back to using an old one for a few weeks

I need a new one, thats why most my pics are taken at bus stops, but ive manged to get a few moving pics but not many.

the 45/7 have a mix of Tridents dont they 44** batch 41** batch and so forth

Yes, the Bristol and Pershore have a good mix of 41**s, 43**s, the unbranded 44**s, and the 46**s.

I do find that the Chelmsley Wood routes (14/90), and the 59 have the 41** Tridents as the majority of the boards

Yes.

What I do when doing both roads is do down the Pershore Road, to Cotteridge, and when finished there, get the 18 into Northfield, and stay there for 45 minutes, and then go into Town noting Tridents working in the opposite direction and wait at the stops by TK Maxx to see any remaining Bristol Road buses that you might have missed  ;)

The Bristol rd did seem to have alot more 41** tridents over 44** and 46** today

Bear in mind though we would've seen less than half of them, only going from the city centre to Northfield. :)

I will go down to the terminus though (: , the only reason for that is I get nervous when everyone glares at me ::) only thing is 45/7 don't finish at the same place so that's extra work

I have learnt to ignore people if they look at me.

I have been to Cofton Hackett, never made it to West Heath when the 45 terminated there. I do want to do down to Longbridge, might go there when the 19 goes to WMSNT. I don't really fancy going to Frankley

I did that when I seen 4444 I shut everyone off an just pictured me an the bus an got a good outcome.

Might see about visiting all 4, just don't feel like travelling on a trident myself not my favourite type of bus other than 4141 an 4444 and 4455

The 61/3 terminus looks alright, never been to the 45/7 terminus might save frankley for when WMSNT run there 19 down there

Saw it last week, loading on Moor Street, so either on the 59/60. It stood out because it is the last Central Trident still with TWM logos when I saw it, with the unusual logo on the passenger side.
