Why are they having heritage vehicles on display ?! "Have a look at what you won't be driving"  :P

Precisely, some older people still think the actual driving of a vehicle is difficult. It isn't, they are far easier to drive than a lot of cars. Just being able to know the size of the vehicle is the only difficult part to bus driving

Somebody said something about an MMC from YW and another from BC, but the BC one isn't 100%

4666 was filling in for a B7/Scania on the 966 today seen by the Cargo Terminal heading for Erdington while aboard 6703 operating the 14:50 900 from Coventry.

Gems are the norm on the 966

C8NEX parked up in the corner in the yard at AG, there was a 7*** dumped there before for the last few days/past week so I presume that's one of the ones gone to PB. Quite a few single deckers parked up in the depot as opposed to usually when there's hardly any except the ones in engineering.

@Tony did you just leave AG, driving 4767 I think?

Also 6147 just left the garage.

Edit: 4776 I think it was actually

Yeah I seen you walking towards 4776, wasn't sure if it was you, and you were pacing so I left you to it. Didn't catch the driver of 6147, just seen it hanging around in the depot and then the back of it leaving.

2108 (I think it was) was on the 5 today. Saw it in City around 4.30pm. Normal for a Sunday?

They just stick any single decker on the 1/5/31 in the evenings. Usually would be a Scania, but only because there's a handful of Eclipses, and there usually not parked at the front.

I expect the MMCs to be used on these routes in the Evenings/Sunday's which'll look interesting.
