How many are being done

I'm not certain but I'd hazard a guess that all the X1/X2 branded buses will have their branding removed

6844 being debranded/having generic branding applied as I type

6849 also been done

Looking on Bustimes no hydrogen buses tracking for today so they must all be in the depot.

Strangely enough, I noted one out in the yard at Perry Barr earlier this afternoon - too far to ID -  but had disappeared by the time I returned from a road test.

Not really a bus incident but fire crews are/have been in attendance of a blaze at the former Hockley garage this evening - known today as the New Bingley Hall, near Hockley Circus

1902 went back to Perry Barr from Saltley with Queen Elizabeth II Thankyou ma'am on the display at the end of its morning peak on the Inner Circle.

Most/all buses are supposed to carry this blind from today

What happened the Coventry E400FCEV?

It was in Coventry for a bus conference, I don't think it actually visited Coventry garage.

Nobody ever said 3 weeks in his previous post on yardley wood garage thread on the 18th of August it came and it was here for a few weeks

Three weeks was the timeframe mentioned on Facebook

What I have noticed on the new Coventry electrics is that the nearside fleet number is up by the wing mirror/camera and not by the door release as normal. Is there a particular reason for this or is this the norm now for just the electrics? @Tony

The recent repaints into the new livery have the fleet number above the doors/driver's cab window also. I think it may be the new standard positioning across the fleet.

Nice one. I managed to get it several times today, while E009 was leapfrogging E011 😂

Just if anyone's interested; photos now up: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjA4vFk

Possibly a long shot but does anyone know which bus it's shadowing today, or if it has come out at all? Thanks

1933 - YW35

Random question but am I right in thinking that ALL of the pre MMC Enviro 400s NXWM bought are still in service?

All bar 4698 

4479 PB - WB

Sound, no worries. I do plan to head out for it next Friday, I'll ask again then. Cheers again!
