Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I am an out of town enthusiast planning to visit the city soon to look at the electrics. I note that E127 hasnt tracked for sometime. Is there a reason for this? Thanks
Yes, the tracker doesn't work

E232 has now entered service at Coventry and has just left Birmingham on the X1

I noticed E239 had been transferred to Coventry in July this year?  Is it still at Coventry or has it returned to Yardley wood?
Mind the Gap.....?:-)

The 9S timetable has had an increase to x4 journeys in the PM x3 AM.
So I guess that might be the service.

Strange timetable, the first journeys randomly run short, would this be to detract everyone cramming on to first bus and for the purpose of quickly recycling vehicle for another journey?.
PM trips are rerouted via Kenilworth Rd, the original 1515 journey only tracks at the moment and has correctly ran the new route only once this week.
To think in the nineties WMT ran a network of at least 6 routes from the school to suburban areas where the pupils lived but all now lost in the name of funding removal etc, I guess it's only lucrative to quickly dump all in the City Centre.

E232 was on the 13 from Segro Park early this morning but couldn't see it on Bustimes tracking.
