If you mean the interior mirror, they are new drivecams

When I first noticed them a couple of months ago, I assumed they were facing the road, but they are facing inwards.

There are cameras both facing the road and the interior of the bus. We can press a button to record things on the road, like cars parked in bus stops, dangerous driving. They will also automaticly record if harsh acceleration/braking and cornering is detected

[Tony]

The clever thing wigh them is if the driver does trigger the recording either way  It records the 7 seconds before the trigger as well so the cause can normally be seen

I've yet to spot any crimson Scania's on the 17, 55. Why is this, especially when some of Yardley Wood's 19** Scania's are crimson?

Garages are doing them in batches and none of BY's buses have gone in for repaint. I think BY's overall fleet is still in pretty good shape.

BY's Scania were some of the last to be repainted in red/white livery

Because Bordesley don't have any Crimson Scanias.  ???

You've never been inside some of them then. They may all look smart on the outside, but I've been on some where the interiors are really grubby (floors, walls etc).  :o

Probably why they're in the process of getting new floors. I'm not sure if any have been completed yet, haven't noticed one on the 8 or 55.
