I've Never been lucky enough to bag one so What I'm saying is for me it will be weird, as I've never caught a platty on the 34/37 or if I have it was before the requirements, the fact it will be on an E200 will be even weirder as I'm used to the Plattys doing it in general.

But they didn't have next stop announcements for those routes then.

It seems the pronouncing of Solihull has changed yet again, it's now back to the old "Soli-hull"

Yes, the 20 plate EVs also do that

I wonder why the WB buses say Galton Bridge Station. When it should be Smethwick Galton Bridge Station

Does it make much difference? I think most passengers will know the station either way you call it, it's the only Galton Bridge Station in the Midlands... Pedantic aren't you?
