1556, 1674 and 1694 in Miller St today. I thought I saw 1628 on the 289 today, but could have been mistaken as it was a good distance away.

809 was on the 58 this morning.

It could be that, as his buses are Euro 2, he should not be running any more than every 30 mins.

I was in West Brom on 31.12.2013 and saw 1577, 1585, 1592, 1556 and 1694 parked in a line at the back of the yard near to the bus station. All had red notices in the windscreen. 1577 and 1592 were with drawn in October. Does anyone know the status of the other three? 1585 has been there for a couple of months but has not been recorded aswithdrawn.

1882 0n the 39 in Wolverhampton today. I am not in that area very often, but can't remember seeing a Scania on that route before.

The change to the 73 route described by Rob4367 took place about Dec 1st with very little notice.

1408 and 1450 visited Perry Barr sometime ago. Have they returned to YW? I don't see the 27 very often so have not had a chance to check.

VIP used to operate a service to 'Alderman Bowen Day Centre'. Today the vehicle used was WMSNT 119. I believe the vehicle used on the two previous days was an Enviro 200, KX57PMC. All were showing on their digital blinds 'On hire to Birmingham City Council'.

7022 in Solihull today on theS1. Is this connected to the use of 2103 at Pensnett?

4724 was also on the35 this morning. 4721 was parked opposite Digbeth coach station with the hazard lights on. It may have had a collision with a car, which was nearby. I think it must also have been on the 35 as the16 does not go there.

I believe I saw another ex UNO Dart on the 71E today, W577. I couldn't be certain as I was driving in the opposite direction.

Are thereany more Presidents going to Dundee? They still have 6 B10L's. The first 10 B10BLE's are early models and may not have ramps.

I believe that 4 Mercs have had similar fires, 1644, 1663, 1664 and now 1658. These are all from the same batch [1628 to 1707] and none of the earlier batch have been involved. The only other fire was in 6010,I think, and that was cused by ancilliary equipment. I would think it is time for a full investigation into the problem before someone is injured.

There is a 900 branded Enviro on the 59 leaving Birmingham Monday to Friday at 1408, when it turns up. Does anyone know where it goes after Kingshurst? It does not come back on the 59.

569 on the 44 in West Brom today, running late.
