Noticed today that 4484 has a 'Built in Britain' sticker added. Someone needs a geography lesson I think. 😝

I guess the body is built in Britain, even if the chassis isn't.

After doing some research, Northern Ireland as a land doesn't count as Britain, although the people of Northern Ireland can choose to identify as British or Irish or both.

Great Britain is England, Scotland & Wales as far as I understand. UK stands for 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland'.

So the sticker should say Built in UK. I think it's intended as a joke.

You've got too much time on your hands MW. But thanks for that geography lesson. 😉

Not sure if it's an oddity or it's gonna happen to all the hybrids but 5503 now has the top back window visible from the outside, as before it was covered in the 'Turning Birmingham Green' vinyl.

6846 doesn't appear to be tracking on the app still.

It did arrive pretty much on time this morning at the Swan Island stop (Broadyates Road!) towards city, though the RTI display and app were only showing timetabled departure (08:22).

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

It's not the bus, it's an error with the data, none of the short X1s are tracking at the moment only the full journeys

Ah thanks, it must just be a coincidence then that the couple of times I've noticed that journey not tracking has been operated by 6846!  :D
