@@westmidlandstransport I was happy when i saw those old seats.. the nostalgia.. anyways i got a pic of that moquette

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Doing more of these on friday.. still gotta do 4468, 4469, 4470, 4472 🥱

Don't do 4474 it sounds bad

@@MasontheTransportEthusiast May sound bad, but worth a video!

@@westmidlandsbusspotter yesh

@westmidlandsbusspotter let me ask you a question what is the point of the e400 tridents getting the new livery if they are phasing out

These are leased to NX. The contract expired (I think) so they are going off lease and they’ve been sold to Go-Ahead. I’ll see if I can get a vid on one of them in their new lives

@@westmidlandsbusspotter Oh right ok, are all the ADL Enviro 400's leased?

@@ctrmediawalsall4262 Not sure. I believe the BV57 Enviro 400s aren’t leased

@@westmidlandsbusspotter I hope they own at least some of them!

@@ctrmediawalsall4262Yeah I heard they own the BV57s, not sure about BU07s though

Lucky! Heading out tonight to see if i can get it. Hopefully 🤞

@@westmidlandsbusspotter was on the 12 for nearly all this week. So i was lucky to get it twice.

@@EnviroEnviro Lucky! Just got home to see they’ve been withdrawn. Luckily I didn’t stay out - original plan was to go into town and see if it was there

4815, 4827 - Loaned to WB and will be out of service next week, ride them while you can. (Might be out of service tmrw, check bustimes)

@@westmidlandsbusspotter oh I didn’t know they were loaned to WB so it will be a good chance to ride them

Thanks.

Not BC. I heard they’re closing

@@westmidlandsbusspotter oh how come?

@@Jaaagfanboy Apparently there’s gonna be a garage in Kitts Green and Chelmsley Wood

@@westmidlandsbusspotter oh ok

So the routes in Birmingham Central arnt getting them

Not really. These are slowly being phased into service this week.

I’ve done the X2 (a route visual on it)

Thanks.

Yeah I don’t like arching down and holding my phone there, but I do see your point. Might get some blu tac and try that for visuals.

​@@westmidlandsbusspotter you just made me realise i should start using blu tac and not arching down 😂

Thanks! I wonder why everyone has a thing against them. They’re nice!

@@westmidlandsbusspotter i hate them, but nx ones are.... eh mid

Thanks! This one was preserved and was loaned to Britt’s Coaches.

Thanks for the corrections, been rushing these posts at night so I’ve been really tired while typing lol

Nice meeting you again too.

Thanks! Glad you were there!

No, this ones preserved but is being loaned to a company for Rail Replacements

Thanks

Sadly they’ve stoped operating buses.

@@westmidlandsbusspotter oh that’s sad

@@Jaaagfanboy Agreed

Thanks!

Thanks. I’d suggest doing the Diesel ones.

Apparently these are going off lease soon thanks to the electrics so i might be busy today lol

Thanks, and agreed lol

Thanks! Yeah should’ve done my video sideways though. Looking back, it looks so wrong lol

The X15 used to be run by Perry Barr garage, but Perry Barr lost a few routes thanks to them having to store the training fleet. That’s why Walsall have this route. Walsall use the 77/77A to interwork with the X15. As it’s the school holidays, the school rota becomes the X15 rota, meaning that the 6 interworks with the X15

@@westmidlandsbusspotter At least the 77/77A has relevance to Walsall as they depart from the Town Centre. The X15 doesn't even leave Birmingham does it?

@@ctrmediawalsall4262 X15 does Sutton to Birmingham

@@westmidlandsbusspotter It does indeed! However Sutton Coldfield is a suburb of Birmingham, so as the bus route is between Sutton and the City Centre, with Sutton being a suburb. That means that the bus stays within the City of Birmingham Metropolitan Borough!
