Postings seem to have slowed down on here a bit. I know the garages have been told of everything that deserves correcting, so have they all done a good job or are there still a lot of non-working Destinations, odd seat cushions and weird livery variations out there?

Does this apply to Dundee?

May of already been mentioned but 4358's rear blind does not display correctly seen today on Colmore Row Not in service the display had bits of it with a line of dots from top to bottom in the middle of the display

Yes, The manager that reads this and passes them on to garages also deals with Dundee

5517 can be added to the ever growing list of B5s missing part of the Hybrid or Harborne branding vinyls, following its return from accident damage. 5504/6/7/9/10/15/16 are the others.

Seems a shame to rectify these oddities as it gives the fleet some character. Uniformity a boring trait

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.

Okay, here are some spotted today:

1782 has a 2007ish moquette seat cushion
1782's rear display is not working
2033's side display is not working
2033 has a large dent on the offside rear wheel arch
2053's nearside panels look like they have been sanded down for repaint
4117's rear display is not working
5429's rear bumper is hanging off (been like that for days now)
5429's tree defender is bent (been like that for 18 months now)
7015's rear display is not working properly

I see 4810 is missing the every 6 mins on the top deck of the front.

1885 still missing part of offside fleetname!

(Mind you, I suppose it will be crimsoned before its fixed!)

I doubt the anomalies of 4136, 4529 (not having a rear dot matrix display) will ever be rectified

For some reason, the rear destination blind on 1799 is displaying "Inner Circle" on the side of the route number (in this case 8A).

That is the same with a majority of 8A's. It's how the destination is programmed into HELEN, more than likely done deliberately.

They usually put it below the destination number but this one is squashed up the side. I'll send you the photo on Facebook.

WN 4586 has a silver coloured door that is not painted to match the rest of the bus with visible rivets securing parts in place.
