Forgot it even it existed but I saw a 97P yesterday. Is this still usual to see? Haven't seen one for a very long time!

I think advertised 97P workings disappeared some time ago, but the 97P display evidently still exists is used for the occasional (presumably unscheduled) short working to Pine Square.

Thanks @MasterPlan!

I've just been on a 22, which stopped in Harborne to allow a wheelchair-bound passenger onboard.

I'm not quite sure how it's activated, whether through the cab, or more likely the wheelchair request button on the exterior of the bus - but the following message then played: (or somewhere along the lines of)

"Your attention please! A customer who requires the wheelchair area is about to board. Please vacate this space to allow them to travel safely."

Not sure if anyone else has heard this message being played. Just thought I'd mention it.

When I got to Sipson Road 114 was easier to get out so Coventry have had that one instead. 116 will now go to BC

Not sure if that would answer your question; but this reply in the Vehicle Transfers thread confirms that it's transferred there.

@Solo1 I'm guessing it goes on any decker route. It's a noteworthy working in the sense that's it's an E400 on the 97 which is why I posted. I forgot the fleet number as i was posting although I probably could have had a better look as I boarded the bus.
