tbh E400's seem to be a regular occurance on weekday 60's judging by your postings.

Hey. He won't learn unless he does his homework himself.

A few tridents on X64 today, including 4368... Is this a regular working? I'd much prefer them as a B7RLE operated route. Much better, imo... Unless its a B7/Trident operation now? Is it?

@clayderman yeah

4326 is currently brokendown in Allesley Village. Heading towards Coventry. Looks like 4898 Gabriella had to rescue the driver since 4326 would thoretically be the last Cov-Brum bus of the evening. I wonder what the procedure is?

EDIT: 4324 in attendance of 4326, sounds like a replacement  was sent into Coventry.
EDIT 2: 'Annie' operated the 23:20 from Pool Meadow.
4326 was driven NIS from Allesley-By a mechanic. 4324 presumably also returned to BC Depot, driven NIS by the original driver of 4326.
And they all lived happily ever after. The end.

EDIT 3: Pictures. 4324:

The two running cards on the X64 which only operate X64 and finish early evening in garage are normally double deck operated. X6405 and X6403. I think that's correct...

As well as 5510, 5514 has gained branding and seen on the 24 today. Finally!

I'm starting to miss these being at WN. We only have 4 left now and they are bound to leave by next week :(

Looks like the entire ex-WN batch will receive this. 5518 has the remnants of the red branding and it looks like all of them have been pre-prepared by WN to receive the new Harborne branding.

Not entirely clear where the every 4 minutes comes from though? 22/23 are every 7-8 mins and the 24 is every 10 mins. If you add the 29/A which follow an identical route to Harborne Junction, they are also every 10 mins.

5404/5/6 all out on the 22/23 today, I would imagine tomorrow will be their last day at BC.

I'd have though the 4 would've applied to the 22/23 only. I know for sure the 24 is every 10 minutes, to be honest, I'd have though the branding should've said up to every 10 mins or 15 mins...

Whilst talking about 54**, bettert catch a ride before they go. Also, been able to spot inside the ex-WN buses... Still got the 1 Branded E400s on the Next Stop screens.

I imagine it would be based on number of journeys per hour or is that being to simplistic lol. 60/14 = 4.28

4 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 20
60 / 20 = 3

So there should actually be on average a bus every 3 mins

Didn't include the 29 on mine. Should give that separate W Castle branding, not sure if that will happen.
