E400 on the X64 today. This one wasn't the school board either!

Pretty surprised to see a BC NatWest allover ad trident heading along Middle Park Road, turning onto Swarthmore Road outbound from city about 1515 this afternoon?! It was in service on the 29 as well with passengers on, driver lost/confused or was there a diversion on?

I notice your immediate first comment is driver lost/confused. Why do you automatically presume someone has messed up?

Shenley Lane was closed do to a non-bus RTC

Wasn't assuming, I didn't claim to know, hence it was a question! Someone somewhere may have messed up for there to have been an RTC though!

Why put driver lost as the first option. That is the least likely option, it shows that was your first thought

Yes fully agree here.
I'm sick of people presuming its always the drivers fault. Not just on here but in real life too. Someone easy to blame with a number above his/her head !

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

4595/6 and 4606/7 moved over. No more due to move (yet!). WN had 2120-23 off BC as a swap for the Tridents if you weren't aware?

That's brilliant, thank you

So BC still have AG's B7RLE early examples?
