Saw someone wearing a fluorescent coat with "NX BUS CHAPLAIN" on the back of it in Birmingham City centre today.

Noticed today that 4171 has got its fleet number on the interior of the upper saloon.

Finally managed to complete haulage on all NXWM and NXC. Set myself a target of completing the task in 3 years and have done it in just under 2  years. Happy days.

Do any buses use the Stetchford bus interchange.

If a train were to breakdown on the cross city line at e.g. Selly Oak where would it be recovered to. I'm not too interested in trains (sorry) but buses yes. Just curious what would be the procedure in the event of a breakdown.

On my way back from another futile attempt to spot 586 & 661 in Coventry a spotter (presume he was) got on 2118 in Lode Lane about 1240hrs. It was the same person I had seen on Moor Street about a month ago talking to a policeman. Seems I have more luck spotting spotters than I do buses.

BCT had 2 Matador recovery vehicles. I have just come across them on Flickr. One was 107 and the other 117. Which was the one based at Harborne?

How many Bundy clocks (if any) are there left intact? Used to be one at West Bromwich but are there any more?

Has NXWM got any "all over advert" buses in service? I remember 2 fleetlines 3480 and 3487 used to be Everton Mints and Mintex. Can anyone remember any others?

This question must have been asked before but I cant find the answer. What is the oldest route in Birmingham that is still operating to its original route give or take the odd deviation. Also what is or was the longest route in Birmingham time/distance? I was told it was the 69 route of 1999-2004 Weoley Castle-Heartlands.

On a picture just loaded of 1767 it states its location as Walsall July 2004 isnt that a couple of years before it was delivered?
