Bordesley Garage

The same thing has happened on 11 where some buses have had their displays updated, though it was only on the front destination display.
The vehicle number was 4523.

'E' journeys have too. Saw a 5E to Pheasey like it too

[Stu]

Inner Circle displays have now been updated. As well as the #Thank You 100 added, the A and C have been made smaller and are at the top of the number 8 both front and rear coming to about halfway down the 8. (Hope someone understands what the hell I'm on about  ;D )

Looks a lot smarter too

Saw this on an 8A in Sparkbrook this morning, the correct terminology is that the suffix has been styled 'superscript'.

Like this: 8^A and 8^C  ;)

It was no different on the rear though, with the suffix being the same font size.

Some of Wolverhampton are like it aswell

[I love Walsall buses]

Some of Wolverhampton are like it aswell

i think all garages will have it cause of the #thankyou100

Yes that's correct, a large percentage of the fleet have it.

1826 passed me at Hockley Circus (working an 8C) with its engine door wide open!

Is the 55 being rerouted via coleshill rd due to the roadworks. Double the frequency of buses in Hodge hill.

Presumably Stechford Lane roadworks, how long do these last for?
Not that the frequency increase in Hodge Hill will really be needed. The 94 copes after Fox and Goose without the 55.

Back in the day when i used to use the buses every 5 mins on that stretch they all used to be full. If ever have to use the bus, uber isn't working and can cope with extra walk might give the x70/x12 a try.

I catch the same 55 every night, and for the past week or so it's been a 17 branded example. Does a late night 55 now come off the 17? Up until last week it was extremely rare to get a branded bus on that journey.

Yes, there are now a few running boards on the 17 that now do a couple of trips on the 55 in the evening (and vice versa for late night 55 running boards, i've noticed there are a number of 17 trips in the evening)

2138 on 55 not  2136

@Nx Sam it was 2136 that I saw. The one I saw was a red and white B7RLE.
2138 is a Crimson B7RLE. If you've seen 2138, maybe there have been 2 on there today?

[Nx Sam]

Yes 2137 2138  Crimson B7RLE.
