6102 did run at about 1705 ex Colmore Row - but the driver had a parking brake problem so am not sure if it'll continue in service, he stopped at Quinton Church to phone a friend.

I'm sure that bus hasn't got a timetable, as I don't remember 6107 running before 6101, also 6101 was running 20 minutes behind 6102

What does 6107 have on its rear? I know 6102 has the cornbow

Just to ask does it have scrolling Via line or static?

Saw 1518 earlier in Lye heading towards Merry Hill. Not in service. It looked as though the destination blind had been taken out. Can anyone shed any light?

You would have thought a problem like that would have been discovered by ADL before it left the factory or on it's post delivery inspection??
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Someone has heard a verbal warning 'Apply park brake' and presumed something is wrong with the bus...nothing of the sort. 6102 is still happily plodding along the 9

Never managed to catch one or get a glimlse of one :( 

Went along the Halesowen-Stour this afternoon about 17:30. Had 4812 which is a good bus.

I think i'll leave it till Saturday when more are in service.

Nearly gave up looking for one, but finally managed to see 6102 about 10 minutes before I was due back on the 94, they are very impressive, and do stand out from the buses in the normal livery. Had a walk along the nearside as it was loading too, they do look very smart inside. I will make the most of my new staff pass and try and sample one on Thursday

6107 appears to be on board 205/02? Wonder if it did the 205 part

What time does it finish on the 205? Saw 4808 on the 205 this afternoon.
