4611 made an illegal u turn on Bordesley Green East in Stechford by the police station at about 16:15 today.

Why illegal?

So they can just make a U turn there in the middle of the road, by the bus stop?

Didn't think it was allowed, never seen anyone else turn there anyway.

Is there anything preventing deckers being used on the 98 route, like low bridges etc?

There is no sign stating no U turns allowed judging by Google maps therefore it's legal

Hang on. Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but...

With the introduction of contactless payment (being 'trialled' on the X1/X2) - would that mean (hypothetically) you'd be able to pay with mobile phones like you would, using Apple/Android Pay? ??? Just a thought.

Will the stop announcements on the Hybrid buses be updated at any point? As some of them are out of date. And will the 24/29 routes be added?

Speaking of which, the X1 still says "Bishops Street" when inbound into Coventry City Centre instead of Upper Wells Street, Corporation Street and Pool Meadow Bus Station.

That and the odd Trident is what you get anyway.

Just seen a Pershore branded e400 on the 24 on Broad St if that's any use?
