Must be a typo error for 4786

It is a typo! 2706 isn't a transponder bus either and the PVR of the 10 is 3 on Saturdays not 4.

You a driver mate?

[BK63 YWP]

You a driver mate?

Nope but i get the X96 every day

I wasn't being rude, just the amount of times people get on the X96 at stand G and say you going to Dudley...

Doesn't help also that the side blind say via dudley which confuses some people
