Spotted a First 144 within the Great Park complex today.  I didn't see which direction it was heading, but could anyone tell me when it started diverting in towards Great  Park.  I always thought it just ran along the Bristol Road South direct.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Bingo. Unbelievably so in fact. Don't know how bad it is now - I gave up.

Not a big smash - The roof has come off Bournville College! Yes that nice new building.

The 19 I got from Northfield to Maypole was running 40 minutes late today. The driver was saying that the Roof on Sainsburys was unsafe with road closures put in place.

I don't know if the college roof problem was the reason for him been so late, or whether something was going on at Sainsburys, but I have not heard anything about Sainsburys on BBC news, just about the college

It was Bournville College again, the temporary repair that had been done on Monday had come unstuck:

Wasn't that the building which had its tiles blown off onto the Bristol Road earlier on in the week, causing service disruption?
