That one hasn't been working for years now I think @mesub. It used to be regularly on the 94/95's.

Hmmm, I wonder why it hasn't been noticed (or at least followed up) for some time

7512 tracker looks to be working now and it's tracking as an x5 instead of 14 (which is the route it's doing and the blinds say 14) for some reason

4490 is on the morning peak 14 & 869.  It has now done its last trip this morning the 10:05 City - Chelmsley Wood.

Looks like its one of the last B7TL out in service from Perry Barr according to bus times, the other being 4484 on the morning peak FD.

   Iv'e not noticed any obvious changes to the perry barr garage site/depot
   (at least not from the aldridge road)  are the original building(s)  still in use?
   or is there a new garage nearby?

Seen an Enviro400 (481?//482?) go past Villa Park with a front display that had "national express West Midlands"

They often display this instead of 'Not In Service' 
Don't you start.

Omnilinks on the 14 seem to be a daily occurrence now. Today 1831 is on there, yesterday 28 branded 1872 was.
1831 left rammed on the 14:04 to Chelmsley with half empty 6820 following behind it.

Oddly 1831, seems to be working the same board as 1872 was yesterday as well.

Been seeing omnilinks almost every day since 14 started operation at PB except for some reason they're never on there on weekends

Because there's double deckers free to use on those days???

There are many things displayed when not in service such as hire this bus, tribute to her majesty recently and I know there's a dedication to a driver who recently passed away.

4812 was seen running down Nechells Parkway yesterday afternoon city bound around 13.10 with passengers on board but 'not in service'. Let a couple of passengers off opposite the old Bloomsbury library. Assume it was running non stop from somewhere on the 14 route as it departed City as a 14.
