Interesting.  Just shows how observent I am.  I don't use route 70 much.
I've noticed that route 72 is always Z except for the other day when I
got a B2 on this route.  Years ago there was W class trams on route 72.
Damn I miss those W class trams!! just the rattling they made as they
went over the junction and the fact that their bell sounds real!

Yes I've noticed that there's mostly As on route 109.  I don't really
recall seeing Bs on 109 either.
