That's completely wrong,  A driver would not drive a bus with the tracking out. I presume you mean the steering wheel isn't centred like .any vehicles

6731 needs its downstairs screen repositioning internally, as its displaying 'irmingham City Centre'!

@Tony I've notice that on the B7RLEs, many of the side panels to the right of the emergency exit and the opposite N/S panels tend to have been repaired, rather than any other noticeable panels parts of the fleet names missing on either sides. 

As this affects a number of the type, is this a metallurgic defect rather than accident damage?

It's RTC damage repairs. Panels on Wrightbus vehicles are very easy to change, unlike Alexander Dennis ones, so garages tend to remove minor damage much quicker on these.

Gotcha - it just seemed that the same panels on the buses I've seen all need replacing/have been replaced - I found it hard to believe that there's so much RTC damage in the same place on each bus. You live and learn!

6900 on the 3 earlier this evening, audio NSAs stopped playing after Chesterton Road (towards Yardley Wood). Displays appeared to still be updating, noticed the upstairs one showed the next stop was Hullbrook Road as I was heading downstairs to get off.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to QE Hospital | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

On 1921 yesterday and the doors could be best described as terrifying

ZF B7

Scania doors seem to be so prone to having issues

6818 now has the rear lights the 68/19 plates have.. but only on the offside. Looks horrible

There's a lot of B7RLE's where the window/windows by the disabled seat seem to be loose. They make a heck of a noise which can be pretty uncomfortable

Don't know what they're like in other garages but im referring to a number of B7RLE's at Wolverhampton garage

4839 recently just come back into service after just over a month rear display not working currently on the 126 to Birmingham
