Very sad, condolences to colleagues and family. If you MUST use a bus , sit on your own and stay away from the platform 'til the bus stops please.

Has 1790 been crimsoned recently?

Has been for a while. It was in crimson prior to the lockdown. Since the start of March I think.

Seen 1804 around 4pm and it was alternating between the regular destination display and the Bus Full-Social Distancing.  The funny thing is though... there was only one passenger on the bus  :D :D :D

55 seems to be operating to a near normal timetable now between City Centre and Buckland End.
With a Buckland End short between every full 55 to Chelmsley all day.

Is that a near normal between City and Buckland End only or near normal between City and Chelmsley with extras on top?

City Centre to Buckland End is near normal with 8 buses per hour. Combined with the 94 the 55/94 are approximately every 5 minutes. Buckland End to Chelmsley is every 15 minutes. Full timetable the 55 is running to is here:
