99/X64 Destinations

[nitromatt1]

Unlike most people, I actually think it's a good idea. Living in Halesowen, there's something about seeing "Halesowen Town" on the 99 displays that I like. Plus, the 140 and 53 both go into Halesowen but not to the town centre

I agree... Not hat i live anywhere NEAR Halesowen, but i do usually see the 99 and i think it looks smarter & more informative when it displays Halesowen Town... I'm not quite the same with "City Centre" though. It goes right through the bends of Quinton and Birmingham sounds and looks much more suitable for E200's. (Only my opinion)

After a post about the X64 displaying Woodgate, i thought it might've seemed a little bit odd... But having been in the City Centre today, and saw an X64 on its way out of the city, there was another destination... It did not say Rubery, or even Woodgate. And I'm afraid i forgot what it actually said. But from what i CAN recall, The top destination began with an "M" with a Street Name on the lower panel.

Maybe;

Moors Lane (top line)
Bartley Green (bottom line)

I'm really clutching at straws on this one. I'll have a think about it but that's what I've come up with.

It would have been

Merritts Brook
Hoggs Lane

The X64 was curtailed on a sunday to terminate at Hoggs Lane in Frankley.  I saw this a few weeks ago, and it confused me too at first.

Yes, sonic84 is right. Just looked at the timetable.

Thanks Sonic84, now i remember! I saw it coming down The Priory Queensway... It looks very well presented...

Saw 802 today on the 99, its display said Halesowen instead of Halesowen Town. Don't know if any others have been reprogrammed.

I have seen a few others like that as well, including an unbranded Enviro200
