S3/W is only a minor timetable change.

The versa was on the s1 yesterday think it replaced a broken streetite

Didn't replace a broken streetlite at all.

A ex Central bus is used on the S1, usually 30967 at the moment. If one is not available then a streetlite is normally used.

DF Streetlites are common on the 30s now due to the Emissions in Solihull; I arranged for a Euro4+ to
Be allocated from July, along side 20884, in order to ensure we are compliant before the change.

I did notice a lack of speed when I travelled on 30823 on 16W. Every time a ex Redditch b7rle put out it seems to overheat or breakdown.

I drove 30856 last week; nothing wrong with that one :o

30163 is on the 28A today, it was at Ward End, The Fox and Goose about 15 - 20 minutes ago displaying
X31 Anstry Park.

Was correct every time I've passed it today as I'm on the other one...

The 82 and 88 don't interwork apart from one board in the day I think. @Matt.N0056 or @MW can clarify.

There is a bit of inter working- mainly in the afternoon

18 reg e200 MMC out on S10

30967s display was changing on its own on Moor St today, the driver was talking to a passenger while it was cycling between between 50 and Not In Service...

Yes, having issues with that one...

30962 has S2 on the front today with 50 on paper
30965 had Diamond Bus on front also with 50 on paper in windscreen

Both have been updated. Not sure why they've got paper destinations!

At least two Buses still running on the 50 today with paper destinations.

Which ones?
Most buses have been programmed, all of the ex central buses are done. I've seen a picture of 30962 with paper in windscreen not sure why!!

Think YX63ZXL may have moved to Redditch depot @Solo1 as I saw it in Redditch last weekend

It has been at Redditch since the Central buses moved over. There was some changes to which garages the buses were going to before they moved

30030 broken down at Hampton-in-Arden on the 82 this morning.

Judging by the large piece of component on the floor next to it I would imagine it will be off the road for sometime...

Dont believe everything you read on Facebook!!

Do you know when the Mercs are returning to service?

Haven't got a clue!

40544? I'm sure that's not got a DDA certificate, hence it always stays on the school's 182.

Someone put the wrong fleet number on machine!

20884 was on the 30 today.
Seems to be usual on there now, i've seen it on there a few times over the past week or so.

First time I believe. Both white SRs were on there today.

You really cannot even begin to comprehend what a shower of a Bus Operation this place is. Why not just reprogram the LED Displays?

They are being done. Hopefully will be finished this week.
