Polite Notice

Members should please refrain from reporting 'noteworthy workings' unless they have actually witnessed it themselves.

As has previously been discussed, fleet numbers that appear on the Bus Tracker app may not be accurate, as there is a possibility that the driver has entered it incorrectly on their ticket machine when logging in.

Noteworthy working reports posted here "according to the tracker" will be removed.

The Forum Rules have been updated to reflect this notice, do please take this opportunity to reacquaint yourselves with them.

Thank you!

Also good to see the solo's not being used on the 4 was on a 4 today 30211 and by the time it got to Walsall was standing room only and the bus was rammed but there were 3 NXWM 4's behind it.

Nice to know Diamond are still doing well or is it NXWM want a lazy day I used to sit behind NXWM if they were loads infront no way I way going to make the company money that many buses running late or just playing silly beggers.

Has it been re branded and repaired back into nifty fifty livery or been repainted into blue diamond livery.

At least 2 solo's on the 4 today including an 03 and 57 reg solo, I think the 57 reg one may be have been put on the service later in the day to replace 30205 which broke down.

It was still in nifty Fifty livery, I only managed a shot from the back as it took me by surprise (and pulled off by the time Id got across!). I did see the front though and it was nifty fifty branded so looks like its a keeper.

I saw a blue coloured Diamond Optare Solo operating a 17 to Tile Cross at lunchtime. Is this unusual?

Whenever I've seen a 17 while I'm in Birmingham, it's nearly always a Blue Solo.
