Twas waiting for the correction lol  ;)

But saying that, either one. An Enviro would be a nice change. Be better when they remove the door pedal to save your poor left leg from being bent right up under the seat or stretched out in front of the bus, lol.

4810 sounds rough to me. 4807, 4825 and 4829 are all good ones but of course, the best one is 4813 ;)

On the Enviro subject 4822 was belching black exhaust smoke at lunch time climbing up to Colmore Row so something wasn't quite right as it would have had plenty of time to warm up

Something must be wrong as the climb to Colmore Row is hardly steep.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

My left hamstring always hurts, apart from that I still prefer the enviro

On 4822 currently and its not at all happy, constant low pressure alarm, as soon as driver revs it to get pressure, touch brakes and it goes again, the interior is looking worn out and as soon as it goes past about 3rd 4th gear it starts changing back down again, I've changed my mind on the PE Enviro refurbs! Some definitely did need doing

5514 Volvo on the 59 today.
What happened to free speech?

Trident 4609

5513 and 5414 on the 59 today. On two concecutive running boards with 5514 in front and 5513 straight behind. I just caught both of them on the 59

On the peak running board?

Trident 4609

Yes it would be the peak running board more than likley.

Couple of questions on the Wolverhampton hybrids, as I've not seen these in the flesh:

Are they in the cargo white, as per the E200s or is it the same plain white as the BC hybrids?
Is the audio visual stop announcement technology in use yet? It was months before the BC ones started using this.

Andrew1991

If cargo white is the creamish looking one then yes & audio/visual next stop announcements not yet working.

Gets annoying after a while. Although it does help you remember your stages.

The nest stop will be Broad Street Sheepcote Street. Broad Street Sheepcote Street.

And another irritating one, although I'm not sure why; The next stop will be Harborne, The Green Man. The Green Man.

And randomly;;

Coolant okayyyy... doors open?
