I've never seen this until today, the B7s on the 29 are displaying it too. It looks like the driver changeover point has moved to Colmore Row from Snow Hill too.

Why can't other bus garages do that as well damnit... Forever waiting at the stop before Lancaster circus for the sutton / Lichfield rd drivers to change when they could quite easily do it at the Priory / Square Peg
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Tbf, the hybrids (and route 222 E200s) are basically the only buses with speech. Such a shame that they've only done 22 & 23. Would like a voice on the rest of the Harborne corridor. Would be nice to see some on the E400MMCs, destined for the 900/957 when they arrive. :)

Clayderman, that's not speech we're referring to, it's the message put up on the destination displays when the Harborne services change driver on Colmore Row.

2148-9 School run?

Yes. One of the BC 9 boards that then goes onto an 829 to St Paul's school is normally a B7RLE.
