I haven't seen 4535,4540,4553,4558,4561 are all illusive to me at present. Haven't seen the mentioned buses for weeks now

I seen 4561 on the 126 about 09:45 while aboard 1795 on the 17 yesterday :)

4147 is still 100% illusive to me never see it out at all

4561 is on the 126 again today, photographed it in Dudley Bus SDtation earlier

Didn't think you were still looking for it, it's been out and about on the 1 for the last few days, otherwise I'd have let you know!
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

No worries Stu, Thanks anyway. I am not able to get out as much as I used to now.

After 4111 had its repaint, I have only saw it about 3 times before today, and I saw it today without even trying to find it, so a bit of luck my way  :D

recently, my daily sightings of 4368 has gone 'ka-put'!  :o

Still out and about. Keep a sharp eye on the Pershore and Bristol, seems to making more then adequate sightings on there.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

I have seen it quite a bit now since I got my pic of it on the 1 in January. I saw it today, plus a few other times over the past few weeks


I see 4780 all of the time while at work, but on a day off when I want a pic of it, it evades me! It was in front of my 997 this morning, but by the time I got to Bull Street, It had just pulled off on the 907, and it appeared this evening "Not in Service"

Sh4318

I don't think 4529 is eluding me anymore. Saw it on the 80 on Sunday and the 83 yesterday. It's now 4511 that I can't find
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
Local Routes: 21, 89, 48/A, 12/A, 54/A
Semi-local routes: 80, 87

584 has been avoiding me for a year. Finally, today... I finally saw 584 on 45 in West Bromwich, I took the opportunity to catch it to Walsall! It was a great ride. I can now tick that off on my list. 1477 is eluding me for 2 weeks...
