This is probably NXWM's best branding yet I would say and ties in nicely with the 33 green, glad to have them on my local routes :)

Agreed, I like what they've done there, like the 51 and X51

except if any of the buses went onto the X51, which doesn't serve Perry Barr technically.

Technically it does now, the stop by the Alexander Stadium is closer to the historical centre of Perry Barr (st johns church) than Ome Stop..... technically... (being pedantic, sorry)

Just spent an evening out walking, watching the lightning and listening to loud Norwegian black metal...

Nice, like it, seems a bit more than what is currently on other routes as well, will have to wait til I get a better view than a picture on me phone though

1864 on the 94, been a while since I've seen a single decker on there

Kevin, are you sure it was 1864? As I thought this was still at NXC

No! You meaning 1874! 1864 was working on the 16/A or 23 at today! 1867 to Walsall garage for repaint and collect 1678 to CV then replaced 4693 and on the 6/6A.

So I make an attempt to write it down sp I don't balls it up on here, and I wrote the wrong number down... Meh

Longstanding?

Is that where Mike Yarlwood lives?

;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm actually starting to routinely refer to places by their 'alternative' names because of this forum.

My apologies, predictive text on me phone decided "kingstanding" was not a real word

Apparently yet another crash this morning, bus and car at the junction of ellerton road and Finchley road in longstanding, can only assume it was a 33. Anyone know anything more?

So car turning right in front of bus going straight on. Straight on always has right of way so doesn't look like bus driver's fault again

This is not the first incident here involving a bus, not by a long shot and neither of them were the drivers fault either, how can they not see the bus I mean I'm big, green HELLO!!!

Camouflage?

Well the 256/7 are double deck routes and Spectras are double deckers!

Valid, but by that logic Hybrids on the 255 in that sense is not unusual

On the 45 there buses wont get up the Charlemont farm hill :) there would be better trying out the 4 between Walsall and West Bromwich rather than the 45.

LOL, was my first thought as well, even nx buses struggle sometimes

I think the toothpaste 451 livery branding combo looked somewhat nicer

Agreed, don't particularly mind the new branding that much though, it does a job after all

[Possibly a Branded 51 on the X51]

They really need to be careful to avoid doing stuff like that, if there's any other bus available for christ's sake use that instead

something interesting I noticed yesterday morning, the one journey on the X51 in the morning that runs city - Scott arms only at 07:50, according to the running board it then goes to the garage for a while then onto the 41. Thought the whole reason for it terminating at Scott arms was so it could do a short journey into the city in the rush hour. Or is it just a summer timetable thing?

Yeah the only difference in route is that the 907A doesn't use the flyovers and underpasses on the A34, no idea what the registration of the route to streetly was all about though

That was all about reintroducing the 113, that should never have been withdrawn in the first place.

But it wasn't reintroduced in the end, which is what confused me
