6811's rear destination blind does not work.

Not what you'd expect from a brand new bus.

Travelled on 4294 yesterday evening on the 37, and I have a couple of observations:
1) some of the downstairs grab rails could do with a lick of paint
2) apart from the retrimmed seats, the rest of the interior could do with a good 'deep clean'; just looks grubby and worn out, and feels like you're on a bus older than the Presidents!

They all seem to be like that. The President interiors are/were in better nick. Probably due to the proper refurbs they got.

They all must have done a lot of hard miles! 15 years with 10 at West Brom is a hard old life!!

Some of PB ones are in a similar condition along with tatty paintwork on the outside, shame as they some good buses otherwise

2247 has lost its rear window branding on the larger window.

Those Volvo's are almost indestructible. Sadly not likely to get a major refurbishment given their age.

I'd guess it is Adderley Street, same as the other BC Coventry Road services.

1872 has a pink handle bar.

4736 swapped doors with 4771 (blue handles)

4736 still has the blue handle on the door.

4741 missing its offside fleetnumber under the cab window, from its accident repairs

4968 & 4980 too

One of the fold up seats in the wheelchair area on 4303 has the TWM moquette.

Was on 4654 on the 966 yesterday and the rear downstairs bell push by the rear seats has a blue button instead of the usual red ones like on all the others

4666 has that as well.
Plus a grey bell instead of the usual yellow.
Both on the lower deck.
