If it was a new driver then they would not know the old route.

There is one inbound 70 School bus a day that uses Washwood Heath Road

It is scheduled to be nearly in the City Centre by then (15:14 - Park Hall School, 15:24 - Ward End, 15:45 - City Centre), but it is possible that it could have been late, maybe?

One AM outbound journey (from the City Centre all the way to Chelmsley Wood) and one inbound PM journey (from Park Hall School to the City Centre only).
The AM journey goes onto the 14 and the PM journey is normally a platinum and goes onto the X20's.

6892 has now also received generic Platinum branding and had its rear windows covered. I'd thought that maybe 6890-92 were being held back and might be X20/21/22 branded if a few of the 2018 deliveries were used to upgrade the X21 to Platinum, but looks like that won't be the case.

No surprise there really.

X20/x21/x22 running very late this evening

6847 (x1 branded) on x20 with no displays working. Surely shouldn't be in service

How did you know it was on the X20 then?  ;D

[I love Walsall buses]

Probably the real time information app or a paper number inside or asked the driver

The driver opened the door and said x20 when someone asked what service it was.

Parked with the ignition off?

If the bus was parked up with the engine off and powered down, then that would explain why the display was blank. It wouldn't have driven off with blank displays.

No it arrived with no displays working and left with no displays working. The driver said the displays weren't working. I don't know if it had x20 programmed considering it was an x1 branded bus?

Also noted an x1 branded on the 23 today but that had blinds working?

Doesn't every garage have there routes programmed on there with other routes and some from other garages I couldn't imagine it going out

Also do they have to check the blinds before leaving the garage

All BC routes should be on there as well as all BY and PB routes, I believe. The X1/2 branded buses have been on there in the past as well working blinds
The blinds more than likely aren't working for some reason, I saw 4803 on the 94 the other day picking and dropping passengers of in service, but its destination displays weren't working. There was no paper route number in the windscreen, so you'd have thought it was out of service, if you didn't know otherwise.

23/24 branded 6859 parked up just past the Aldi in Selly Oak with it's hazard lights on for some reason.
