4529 seems to have spent most it's time on the 31, then the 5. A few daytime boards of the 31 go onto the 5 in the evening/night. It used to be 37s come off and go on the 31, but apparently it's 11s now.

Thanks MW, that answers my previous comment as to why I was only seeing doubles passing my house in the evening (I live on the 31 route).

I frequently see double in the evening.  However, I don't believe it's in any way bus related.
Don't you start.

The back dot matrix isn't working on 4529, seems to be just blank!

Someone on here said its actually missing and has been for many years. I seem to recall it not working/missing when originally at AG a good few years ago.

It looks good, but like someone else said, it would look better with front LEDs. I wonder if 4529 now has a rear dot matrix fitted

I'm surprised 4529 hasn't had a rear blind fitted, 4249 did and that hasn't even been repainted yet

The flip-dot displays could do with removing and giving them a good clean so the yellow dots are more visible from a distance; even when illuminated, some are very difficult to see!

1913, 4369 & 2124 parked up in AG in a row looking very out of place. Just the BX59 on the Scania looks weird. Short of buses, short of drivers and now short of engineers here. And then there's me thinking of transferring to another garage (BC or YW).

If you were ever to transfer a garage. YW would probably be the best.

Any particular reason why you would be considering transferring garages so soon? Fed up with going round in circles?
