and more...

I do hope that PB will replace, or even better, order some new Eclispe Gemini 2's for the Sutton Lines Fleet, possibly with a Branding, however there is a very slim chance of this happening! :(

I think these may occur more often now, but yesterday on Broad Street, on my way to City, i saw an Eviro 200 on the 29 Route to Northfield. Today however, on my way to School, I saw an Enviro 200 on a 29A Route to City. Both times i did not catch fleet number, also, both were unbranded  ;D

This has the same effect on the 47, until AFTER it says "Via Pershore Road" for Example, it will say that the 47 goes to Coften, It does switch bettwen via... & Hackett, and I must say, It all could just fit onto one whole line!

[PB]

I could think of:
PB-4241 & 4242 - Everyday, i see these on the 16 or 101, once one a occasional day the 65!
*Mostly 4241 haunts me

PB-4777,4778 & 4779

[Personally]

Personally, I would want these buses to run on the 24, being a new cleaner bus, and with the occasional one on the Hybrid Bus, it would perfectly suit it, especially with new modernised hybrid buses on the 22/23 and whatnot. It has seemed that buses running from stop SH1 (Colmore Row) has modernised more than the 24.

If not running on the 24, i would prefer:
60 or 957 - to use a branding

I understand that NXWM has a new Summer timetable, but does it affect the 58? I was waiting for the 58 to Solihull today with my brother, and we waited at least 10 minutes and no 58! All other buses were running frequently... ???

Branded 55 > 8A
Branded 97 > 9 / 23
Branded 99 > 24 / 98 / X64

I think I may have seen more, but i don't recall it...

[11C]

2105 on the 11C!  ??? :o

Is it 4816 replace to new 4799?

Doubt it. The 4816 is the bus of which that "incident" happened, on Hagley Road. RIP Christina  :'(

Bring back the 68A/68C

I agree here several drivers told me they want it back too a good route this! On one of BY's mercs I think it still shows the route 68 route map :)

Quite a few people still miss the 68A/68C, which begs the question why is was withdrawn if it is so popular

Off the topic, but so is the 91/91E - Birmingham to Perry Barr/Hockley(91E)

46 Birmingham - Six Ways Aston

Unreliable before, even more unreliable now going to Six Ways Aston
Stupid rota (1 minute to get from Perry Barr Rail Bridge , into one stop and round again to the other side in 1 minute - makes no sense)
Often 10 - 90 minutes late (waited hour and a half b4 :L) - usuailly peak journeys but even first journey of the day is damn late by 4/5 minutes  :-\

This is why I get the original 46 route, Birmingham to Perry Barr  ;)
