(And yes, I managed to photo it without any hand signals or anything...then I boarded it when he came back round - 20 down!)

I saw the 40X enter City around 3.50pm this afternoon, it had nearly a full seated load and people standing, most were school kids too. Never seen that many people on it before!

So far it's 20 late and counting to depart city!

I must say though the driver is very friendly!

Still incredibly dangerous, especially in the city centre where all it takes is a kid to run across the road quickly and him not see.

The bus was stationary when I took that photograph. Note the zigzags, there is a pedestrian crossing which was stopping traffic behind me

If the bus wasn't moving then fair enough I guess.

He is back using the ex-Stagecoach Dart today

I do love the branding on the Green FJN Dart. One side reads 'Town & Aston Bus', another reads 'Town & Perry Barr Bus' and I can not remember the third version.
