Any idea where 4672 has been? One of 2 of AG Gems I'm left to tick off but hasn't been out and about for while?

The 16:13 11A started at the Yew Tree again today I noticed. Does this have enough dead running time after it comes off the 11S at Ward End. As it seems to do that regularly.

Don't think its acceptable for the driver who is driving 1812 on the 17 be driving with only one window wiper in the heavy rain

I agree park bus up throw you all off in the rain and wait for the next one 
And take bus back to garage 
Or driver takes bus to the next terminus

Would you rather he parked it up and left you in the rain?

2171 has done a trip on the 5 this morning, first time it has been out at AG.

Due Solihull at 09:07 then back to garage, so anyone wanting the 'exclusive' needs to be fast!

Were you a passenger?
Were you a pedestrian and witnessed this?
Were you driving a motor vehicle and witnessed this?

6117 sped straight past the Ward End Old Bromford Lane stop without stopping on the 11C to Acocks Green Garage earlier at about 17:50 despite that I flagged it down and people were waving for it to stop. Wasn't full and it clearly stopped to pick up at the stop before and after, so no excuse at all for it.

To add to that as welll on the next one that stopped 6120 everyone was thrown off at the Yew Tree and left to wait for the next one. As the driver had been told to run back to Perry Barr.

2171 right next to me in Perry Barr with Driver Training up and loads of drivers aboard. Bit far for them to be out type training?

They aren't type training they are route learning with agency drivers

Presumably they're still struggling with driver recruitment?

Is there any plans to rejoin the outer circle? Or is the split helping with timings and reliability?

If it involves saving PVR or cutting costs then they'll probably do it.

If it increases costs then you have no chance!

It would cut PVR and costs, but be less reliable, so at the moment nothing changing

6140 has graffiti all-over the rear this morning. Seen at 07:40 at Fox and Goose going towards Acocks Green.
