Seen 4190 today on the 60 with its £8 Family Ticket Advert on the side looked a bit strange I couldn't take a pic as it passed me unexpected.

A completely trivial observation, but 5407 has had its missing near side leaves and fleetname reapplied. All of 801/4/5 and 7 have had missing bits of branding reapplied.

2115 still at BC, just left city on the 23A. 5408 is not far behind on the 24 (which inter works with the single deck operated 29/A) so wondering whether there are some changeovers or further inter workings with the last journeys of the night? Who knows, I've had a few beers.

2119 is also still at BC, just left Colmore Row NIS after finishing on one of the Harborne services.

4152 - Looking at Tonys latest photo of this bus on the 70 after refurb it appears to have gone back to dot matrix destinations.

So its gone from dot matrix - LED - dot matrix. Is this a first?

@Bham Central Driver I think 4152's and 4368's displays were swapped when 4368 went for refurb as 4368 gained an LED display when completed and 4152 regained it dot matrix round the same :)

It lost the LED front display not long after gaining it, when it was still branded for the 14.

I think it is a first to go back to dot matrix from LEDs

I don't think it was swapped with 4368, as 4368's display is different than the normal LEDs in other Tridents that have had them, the only one to show up differently on my camera, but yes it was about the same time

4368's is a full colour one, different to all others and not from 4152
