In the last few months I have twice been alighting a bus where the revenue squad have been waiting. The first time I was stopped from getting off until I showed my pass so the second time I knew what to expect. I realise what a difficult job it must be but can a passenger be physically stopped from getting off a bus?

Yes, you've read it right! 'Woodagte' is what the 23A displays (Flip dot)...

For example:

23A - Kitwell
23A - then to Woodagte
(Seen on: 4170, I don't know if this is the case for all tridents...)

I was going to inform the driver, but there wasn't anything he could do about it there and then... What other spelling Mistakes have you seen on buses?

X64 shows Merrits instead of Merritts.

Fires I can recall (some scrapped, some repaired)

Yardley Wood must have had something go up at some point?!

They did. One caught fire in the garage on a Sunday morning many years ago. 3750 or 3751

It looks like all 26 are to be allocated to Perry Barr. Some of the un-branded Sutton Lines Enviro400s look like to be branded up for £12 bus passes prices

Some early and evening 37 journey's go to Land Rover to transport workers :)

Thanks for that info.

Saw an Enviro on the 3 yesterday evening (posting it in here because I'm not sure if it's unusual or not - looked odd though)

I saw that yesterday. It was a 474* unbranded one, can not remember which.

4799 was also on the 2. Looks like it has a new rear end, I know it was off the road for a bit, so it must have had a rear end impact

Noticed today that the rear is damaged above rear window.

4707 parked Priory Queensway lunch time O/S/R puncture. ATS in attendance fitting new tyres.

Four spotters on Priory Queensway this morning complete with cameras notebooks and binoculars. Serious business

Not all the spotters were at Walsall. One taking a photo of 4914 by Old Square.

4914 "Keya" out today.
 

Didn't see 4918 with a name? if I pass it again today ill have a look, was in a rush

I know 4918's name starts with a N but thats all I could make out

Tianan doesn't start with an N

Thanks Tony :) I don't know why N come into my mind ::)

Notice on my photo of the rear of 4918 Sutton Coldfield is in a different place and size to that image with it blurred out posted on twitter
