Don't forget the state of the roads

The B6's didn't have half the issues over pot holes as does the E200's do.

Just in case my point isn't clear; I truly hate the E200's. I've never hated anything as much as those buses. If my car was half as bad as them, I'd send it straight back to the manufacturer.

Agreed, yes the roads round Welsh house farm are bumpy, but the b6s never felt like you were on the rim of the road. Also the darts such as 3601 series never were that bad nor were the solos. Yes they cope up hills better than b6s, but there not that quick tbh

Meh. Hill climb speed isn't that impressive when they take 30 seconds to get to 30mph

They hardly ever reach 30 mph, due to the route there on, same with 222

Oh, trust me @Trident 4194 , there's certainly some drivers who will drive the pieces of shit to destruction. Well over 30mph over those roads

801 has rubbish on its side display

Seems to be becoming a regular occurance!!

Could possibly be in several other topics, but I'm sure 4895 was out on the Pershore Road this morning - however I didn't notice it as a branded vehicle? Not sure whether I just need glasses or whether it is now de-branded?

No you don't need glasses. It was one of two Enviros on morning peak boards on the Pershore Road with 4942. 2134 has added the variety on there in the evening peak

4898 has re-entered service, seen it today in Coventry on the 900, following the accident but with the front branding and name missing, with just a plain red front with no logo.
This bus now has no name as there is an advert on the back covering the rear name as well.

Are 4611/12/13/14/15 and 4624/25/26 all of the 14 branded buses, or are there any more I've missed?

4623 and 4627 are done aswell if it helps.

4457 appeared to have broken down on the 97 at around 16:30. It was parked with hazard lights flashing at the towards City stop at the Great Barr Street/Fazeley Street/Liverpool Street lights, almost at BC garage. This is an awkwardly placed stop and junction at the best of times without a bus stuck there.

Might be linked to the Solihull Gateway project.

From a very detailed search of Traveline, it appears the 2107 & 2137 from Solihull will now divert via the Jaguar Land Rover site entrance, with no impact on any other stops.
