Thanks Tony for the info on the Bendies. I managed to travel on 6029 and 6030 this afternoon. Both were running well.

Are there any Bendies on the 67 today? It could be their last day with the arrivals from PE>

I had a short ride on 6107 today and was very impressed with the wheelchair and buggy provision .It must be the best on any double decker and better than almost all single deckers.

6105 is also on the 9 today, in Birmingham around midday.

Thanks Tony, I wasn't quite sure what I was seeing as I was passing in the car.

Do NX still own part of LH? Tony has mentioned some buses being inside and when I passed there last week the doors were open and the building seemed to have been partitioned off about two thirds of the way along.

6030 on the 67 this afternoon together with 8 deckers, including 4781.

Coventry Road closed at Bordesley Station, causing chaos on Coventry Road, Stratford Road and Warwick Road services.

I believe 31 was in service. It appeared to be one of the ten running in the morning.

I was in Wolverhampton today and Travel Express seemed to be running the 1, 11. 32 and 33 to schedule but I did not see any route 2's. Have they left this route already?

Trams running this morning were :19, 20, 22, 23, 31, 18, 04, 09, 25 and 16. No 05 had joined in by this afternoon, it may have replaced 22 or 23. My personal opinion I that the new trams are very suitable for street running e.g. from Five Ways to Curzon Street but for an interurban route like Birmingham to Wolverhampton more seats and more comfortable seats are needed.

At about 11.30.a.m. 2023 and 4249 had apparently broken down in Upper Dean Street. 4249 was being connected to a towing wagon. It was causing quite a lot of chaos. People waiting for a 126 said it had been there for sometime. With digital blinds you can not tell which route a bus was on. Drivers used to generally leave at least the rear one unchanged. I guess 2023 was on the 126 and 4249 on the 16.

I have seen all AG's Presidents over the past few weeks except 4077. Has anyone seen it in service?

802 on BC 58/9 this afternoon. It got rather full along the Coventry Road.

Meadway executive now have a Yutong, MC64MEC. I think it is the shorter version, but am not sure, as I have only seen it at speed.
