Yesterday I seen 4169 displaying 90 Chelmsley Wood front, back and side  ;D, how come this doesn't have 70,

The destinations must not have been updated.

4169 may have been away for refurb when the 90 changed to the 70, and the destinations not updated when it returned

True, but it can't take more than five minutes to update the destination display with the new data. And in a worse-case scenario, what would be wrong with a piece of paper showing '70' taped in the front windscreen?  ::)

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.

4800 to 4804 appeared on the 22/23 on a daily basis. Sundays occasionally saw all 5 of them on the 22/22. I saw one on the 24 only once.

 One of the hagley road branded enviros got away with one fulll 900 trip when they were at BC, was swapped for a Trident so I recall

Crystal ball says yes

This B7RLE allocation on Harborne routes at night seems a totally random thing. The 3 buses I saw tonight on the 22/23 were 4144, 4160 and 5502. Incidentally there were 5 Hybrids (3 x E400 and 2 x B5LH) on the 24 during the day today.
