30827 out in Stourbridge on the 142 (xx00 ex Stourbridge, xx30 ex Dudley if anyone is interested)

Dudley? Do you mean Halesowen? ;)

Yeah I meant halesowen (I've hit the pop early - and I mean cola pop!)

Is this unusual? I'm not disputing it but I don't know the 99 so wouldn't know. I would guess an MPD/solo/primo/dart would be standard on there?

MPD's, Dart's and Solo's are regulars on the 96 & 99. Primos occasionally appear on the 96 or 99 but not all the time :)

Signature branded hybrid Versa seen in Acocks Green this evening on the 30. Probably unusual now the 30 is not a Signature service?

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Posted this on the wrong topic!

the 143 (Redditch - Bromsgrove) broke down this afternoon it was 20850 (KU52 RYK) I was on the X3 on the way back to Kidderminster and it there it was broken down just outside Redditch it's very rare that the KU52's ever break down but our bus which happened to be 30383 (V383 SVV) came to the rescue and picked up the stranded Bromsgrove bound passengers leaving the Charford and Webheath passengers on the broken down bus

It still seems to get its fair share of signatures - there was a Signature on there the other day, maybe 2, when there was a Diamond Centro on the 82/8!

There was also a Signature Versa on the 96 the other day, although it was only for the one trip, covering for the Drivers break.

20849 - 202 today. This bus then did the evening 205's

1930, 2115, 2315 journeys from Wall Heath

This board is normally a B7RLE unless something has changed

That is unusual-the 202 is pretty solid Royale's, even eclipses are rare...

Great spot of a great bus...! :)

Certainly a long day's work for a 12 year old dart...
