Quote from: mesub on February 10, 2023, 01:48:22 PM4801 is following the 23 route but not in service, so I'm assuming it's doing route learning (looked like there were a few drivers inside). Is it on loan to BC or?

It's back at PB now. Just seen it on Aldridge Road heading towards the Boars Head.

4780 back in service. A noticeably shinier blue rear end. You wouldn't think it had had any repair work done, a real credit to the engineering staff.

A 16 branded E400 MMC turning from Walford Road to Stratford Road at around 12PM just now. Not sure what it was doing, looked a bit out of place.

It wanted a change of scenery.

Because the driver found a fault on the platinum on his walk round check and 1898 was the ready spare

Just been told by a family member who works at PB that the old depot is becoming the birmingham wholesale market. They're moving it from town to perry barr for some reason!

The wholesale Market is already in Perry Barr, so that would be just a move up the road like the garage was

4780 was supposed to do the 1620 turn on the 907 yesterday but because it was late coming of the school service 814 which is a regular occurrence it didn't show and ended up starting at Perry Barr at 1704, what's worse it that 6818 which comes into City at 1610 on the 907 goes out not in service. This duty needs changing

When the new Perry Barr depot was built, were electric points put in ready for electric vehicles at some point?

nbus is not valid beyond the Watford Gap Island bus stop.
All NX tickets are valid.

@Bartosz not noteworthy to see an Omnicity on the 16 at all. They crop up everywhere apart from the X3/4/5.

4812 on the 14 did a unusual loop today up Saltley Bridge, Washwood Heath Road, Aston Church Road, Heartlands Parkway.
Also the woman sat behind the driver taking up the first 2 seats at the front, spent the whole journey from City to Alum Rock Road ranting at the driver because she wants "no person sat next to her".
Think she may have been asked to let someone sit down as it was a busy service.

There shouldn't be no forward facing seats by the driver . people distract the driver. Either constant staring ,mobile phone or playing music.
