The Off peak £2.10 single promotion on the 11 will end on Saturday 15th July 2017, after a 3 month promotion trial. After that date passengers will have to pay a normal single £2.40 fare on the 11 all day.
Saw the notice on 4512 today.

Heat? Maybe melting?

I think it's just one of several loans recently from YW to AG

Tony said that it was to move at a later date. That date clearly hasn't arrived yet.

4504 hasn't moved and neither has 2244. It was said last month that these would be moved at a later date. At a guess, PB seems low on vehicles at the moment. Maybe this is why 4504 hasn't moved, releasing 2244.

4504 hasn't moved because of it having work done away at PB. It's currently on loan to PB now it's back in service. It's officially an AG vehicle.

BC E400 (ex PB one) was on Thursday night staff bus duties. Usually a B7RLE. Spotted in Acocks Green / Shaftmoor Lane.

Not particularly noteworthy was 2240 on YW staff duty this morning. Seen in Acocks Green village. The new displays for AG/YW only say 'Staff Bus' and not the depot, so unsure whether this was on loan to AG or not. Most likely not.
What does the 801 use @MW?

The 801 is Yardley Wood operated and is booked Scalia Omnilinks.

801, as far as I can see, doesn't even run anymore. When the route was first registered, you regularly saw a Scania displaying 801. Saw it at various points (Shirley, Robin Hood, Fox Hollies).

Now, you just see 'Staff Bus'.

There isn't a booked type on staff bus routes per se. Just the smallest thing they've got. When AG ran both Scania and B7RLE, it couldn't be any. BC was recently E200 operated but since they've gone, it's become B7RLE. You see the BC staff bus regularly in Acocks Green/Gospel Oak. Weird when it was a 99 branded E200.

The 801 is still showing on NWM and the NX website?
