How wrong impressions can be! Left Wolverhampton on time and was one and a half minutes late at Lewis Grove. On its next trip it didn't lose any time at all so the next trip was faster.

Amazing how buses can be driven "fast" and get there actually after a bus which left the same time and drove "Slow".

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.

Caught 4126 on WA89 home this evening. Prefered taking the bus with the nice sounding Voith gearbox over the ZF crap which was just behind on WN59!

4394 on a 76 home from Solihull (with a long walk at the end)

Took a bit of a long way home yesterday after work; got a 900 from Bordesley station to the Airport, then a 966 to Solihull, and finally a 37 back to Acocks Green.

Still think that the 900 would have benefited more from the new bus only road if it went to the airport terminal before the rail station, on journeys towards Coventry.
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

A 172 (336 I think...), 2143 Kidderminster to Stourbridge Junction. Handy that my best friend's house is right by the station!!

Jesus these 172s really shift through the gears, especially in the long stretch between Kidder and Hagley (didn't stop at Blakedown). Brilliant trains!
