Most illusive Buses

[John]

Well done John :)

Do you have a photo of every bus in the current NXWM fleet? Are there any batches you need to complete? Or buses at new garages you still need to photograph?

Cheers Matt

I am nearly there with pictures of all vehicles,

• I think I only need 2 Coventry B7RLEs now to get them all, 2167 and 2170
• A few Wolverhampton Hybrids 5416, 5417, 5418 and 5419, plus 5514
• and Birmingham Central 5405

I still need a good few that have since transferred, I found 4202 today, so now have all current Pensnett Tridents

Given it's now about 2 years old I would imagine 5405 is an elusive one for you?

Which ones do you need following transfers, as I will keep an eye out for them for you?

I have not been on the BC hybrids for a while, so I have not really been looking for it for a while, but yes, I guess it is the elusive Central Hybrid  :)

I also got 1628 at Pensnett today, it is just 1638 and 1639 left

Mainly, it is Acocks Green Presidents that transferred from Central with the City Centre Emissions that I need to catch up on, a good 20 or so to find, plus 4111, which has been avoiding me since repaint.

One that stands out though, is Yardley Wood 4351, which I have not found since May 2010 when it was at Walsall, plus logo replacements, bith TWM and NXWM liveries, which I have nearly done at Yardley Wood, but still have quite a few left to get at Central.

And 2 45** Geminis at West Brom which are 4520 and 4530, not pictured since Acocks Green

Not seen 4111 since my picture of it in Solihull , but good luck in Finding it :)

I have seen it once on the 11A, but was driving so unable to stop the car to get a pic. I have not seen it since, plus it did not have an offside advert on, as I always like taking pictures of buses with adverts on to break up the livery, unless they are recent repaints

Probably best places to go hunting then would be Erdington, as if they're not on the 11A/C you might spot one on the 966. Or pop down to Yardley Yew Tree, as you might spot one on the 73. Finally you could hang around Acocks Green village, where you can watch out for them on the 1.  ;)

Apart from the one time I saw it on the 1, I've only ever seen 4111 doing the 11A/C.

[trident4370]

I'm always seeing 4111 on the 11 although I still haven't caught it yet.

4520 was on the 74 today

[nitromatt1]

Nathan4775, is 4442 one you still need? I'm pretty sure I saw it on the 97 today

[Nathan4775]

Yup still after 4442, did see it heading to Chelmsley Wood but due to the weather I went straight into town an got the 997E home

[John]

Finally got a pic of 4150 on the 47 today

[Nathan4775]

 ::) still not found 804, on the bright side did catch 4778 & 1905  :)

[John]

::) still not found 804,

Nathan, you've missed a rare one, 804 is on the 97 as seen in the Branded Buses off Route thread (unless you're still out)

Missed it  :-\, I gave up waiting after a while never thought it would have made its way to Chelmsley Wood

I was keeping a look out for 804 on the 99 in the hour and half I had in Town this afternoon. Only the once before, has an Enviro200 (809) been on the 97. Whether it replaced a broken down Trident, or it was just a peak time extra, I have no idea. It may have even been on there all day
