When the '67 batch of platinums arrived (before they put announcements on them), all the screen said was DOOR OPEN/Door Closed.

Hopefully they do get to using the NSA equipment on the hybrids sooner rather than later.

It appears 6825 terminated on the 63 towards Frankley early on New Inns Lane after chaos at the temporary lights. The destination blinds blanked and turned right to Cross Farms Lane instead of turning left continuing down New Inns Lane. There doesn't seem to be a diversion as shortly afterwards I saw 4893 doing normal route towards Birmingham.

Saw a few UID E400s going down Stratford Road (by Highgate Road) at around 11ish, were they deadrunning to Solihull?

I wouldn't have thought so as our dead routes to solihull from BC garage tend to run up the A45, however if there was an issue on the A45 then drivers may have been told to use an alternative route but it's usually given to us as to what roads we can use as its already been checked that a 14'6" vehicle can get down the road to prevent bridge strikes and the like.

Noticed a little blast from the past whilst on 4894 earlier. The little bracket on the floor holding the grab pole was orange. What would the last buses with the orange interiors be? S Reg Mercs and B6LEs? Think everything else after that was pink and latterly red.

Will 4916 see service soon?

It will be back in service once its works have been completed.

Ah yes. But I suppose that was never a proper NX bus to begin with.

Thank god, that's the only BC E400 I need ticking off my driving list

Been like that for awhile, Recall seeing that back when it was branded for the Bristol Road Services.
