It depends on if Brum CC have powers to issue PCNs for PCN Code 31J.

West Midlands Police will still be able to enforce moving traffic contraventions

There's talks of Northfield/Bell Lane junction being a camera yellow box junction. That would help massively as they don't care

6995 on Bristol Road😎

Very very strange seeing Milkfloats on the no8 route I had to look twice at springhill island , I haven't seen deckers on there since hockley garage days with metrobuses

Definitely a rare sight! I got slightly confused when I first saw it at Belgrave Middleway (by the McDonalds)

60's aren't serving Cranes Park and instead carrying onto the Radleys to turn around.

I think something to do with roadworks, been like it for a few days 

That's a real shame but I guess if every route must have announcements, it will be costly (both in terms of time and money) to hire the voice actor (I think her name is Elinor?) to record them.

The announcements are done externally by a company I believe 

4851 on Bristol Road, still in 33 branding

H1009 and H1013 on 997, don't know how long they're gonna be out for. H1009 is currently on the 0648 from Pheasey

Two more buses not going to run again are 4466 & 4467 at BC

Such a shame with these old buses coming to an end, such brilliant buses!

Could just change the terminus stop to say "Last stop" instead of next stop.

I think "next stop..." would be more beneficial as people are used to hearing "next stop".
If "last stop" was used, people may mistakenly hear "next stop" as they're so used to it. 

That's actually helpful and informative, and definitely benefits passengers.

I thought this was done already, though I must admit I've not travelled on many routes to their terminus to confirm this.

Certainly on travelling into Birmingham city centre, the announcements get 'confused' when the driver logs onto the next journey in advance of the terminus.

I was in Edinburgh last week, travelling on a lot of Lothian services (mainly to the terminus), and I kept hearing "...where this bus terminates." so it got me thinking 'why don't we have this?'

Idea for the NSA,
When you're arriving at the terminus, can it say:
"Next stop Solihull Station, where this bus terminates"?
Or
"Next stop Chelmsley Wood, where this bus terminates"?

I think this will really help people who don't know where the terminus is, such as tourists.
Could majorly help on 'E' routes too.

26223 on 88 to Balsall Common, don't usually see MMCs on the route 

Any reason why BC vehicles are tracking on the 14 to Chelmsley?

I can see a lot of drivers on the uni rotas hating the extension to Merry Hill

All the ones I've spoke to, don't mind it

3301 on 937 to Birmingham. Seen at Kingstanding circle at 0746

There're a lot slower than Init to issue tickets when paying by cash or contactless.

I thought they were quite quick when I was a driver for leamington
