6854 is on the 60 today.
Is that usual and do BC use there spare platinums on the 60? As i've seen quite a few on there recently.

I would say yes, spares are put on the 60. On there quite often

[Ex BC driver]

Where is the best place to report potholes on the road? The Quinton Road has been absolutely shocking for a while but it seems to be getting even worse and I feel like there's going to be an accident on that road if it's not sorted.

You might be pleased to know that some potholes have been filled in, Quinton Road was closed when I went out early this morning

Oh really? That is good news! I might get the 29 tomorrow morning and take a look. I know that the Harbone Park Road was done not so long ago as that was bad in places too.

Well I had a go today. I could see where they've attempted to fill the holes but it's still very bumpy down there. That road needs resurfacing completely to be honest.

Is there any chance to see something different from Volvo B7R Wright Eclipse Urban 2 on line x64?

No chance of anything but a Volvo B7RLE, since it was rerouted on the 23/04 it now passes under the low trees Wheeleys Road, so deckers can't be used and the E200 left BC when the 99 was withdrawn last Sunday.

[MasterPlan]

In all honesty, this incarnation of the X64 is probably the best since it was introduced in the sense that it actually goes to places worth going. The Bristol Road malarky was never popular in terms of passengers boarding. Glad it now goes back past the University station etc again, but I'd still rather the 21. And it's a left turn at Pritchards Road from being that again...

[Michael Bevan]

Due to a person being hit by a train at Tile Hill (09:03 Euston-Birmingham) There are no trains running between Coventry and Birmingham International.

X1s are overloading so 4944 is currently out doing duplicates

@Tony any idea if it's going all the way to Coventry? And what time it'll be in Coventry?
