The vehicle recognises when it's approaching a bus stop and cuts power to slow itself down. This can be overridden by the driver simply by coming off then back onto the throttle.

The 70 does go onto the 14 when it arrives in City pm, same with the 829A going onto the 126

Probably was one that had just returned from Glastonbury and the driver took it out without checking the destinations!

I believe it's 6947, as I've seen it in Birmingham a couple of times this evening with "Private Hire" on the blinds.
