Have all of the Birmingham garages' blinds been updated now? Or are there still some buses showing different variations for the same route?

Not much seems to be changing with Walsall/West Bromwich and nothing seems any different with Wolverhampton and Pensnett...

Not all of AGs have been done yet I think - I've seen a couple of their Platinums on the 5 which now show "via Widney Manor & Monkspath, via Shirley & Hall Green", but some still show 'via Monkspath'. Noticed some of the Outer Circle buses now have multiple via points too.

As for YW, I've only seen one vehicle so far, an E400EV I caught the other week on the 3, that was alternating between "via Sparkbrook & Stoney Lane" and "via Billesley & Trittiford Rd", every other 2 and 3 I've seen still shows 'via Stoney Lane'.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

God I loved the Green dests when they had constant via changing for example the 11A/11C

Most of the AG ones that have the new dest are the outer circle e400mmcs and a couple geminis. The rest haven't changed yet. I did see 2 Yardley Wood Electrics with the new dest saying Solihull town centre and then via Shirley

Still a few stragglers.. Not long passed 1823 on the 8C with the old-style displays

4491 has only just been updated, although will require a new front blind as the current one has been stuck displaying "94 Birmingham"

Great Wyrley is spelt incorrectly on the rear 128 x 17 blinds on the Platinums. It's spelt as "Greay Wyrley" instead. Not sure whether it's just on the Cannock blind or any others though.

It's mostly overcast so not a bad description  of it!!!!!

Was out and about in Birmingham today, it seems BC and PB are much more ahead of updating their blinds than depots in the Black Country. Are some depots waiting until the 24th April changes maybe?

Seems the X21 inbound display has changed again, University and Selly Oak are displayed separately now instead of together. Don't get that to be honest, surely if you can fit more than one on a single line it's preferable.
