Don't they all? On a related note, 5516 had a completely non functioning front number / destination display on the 24 yesterday morning. Must have been a pain for the driver to have to explain at each stop which of the 22/23/24 it was on.

Forgot to state, I meant it from inside so basically displays the number on driver side? I know sound confusing but that is the best way i could explain

I thought I saw this mentioned. I did try a quick-search for '1817' - but it only showed a post from 2013?

I just searched 1817 and it showed me Tony's post here.

2129 on the 99. Citybound. Seen at Five Ways at 1601.
2142 was on the 24. Outbound from Colmore Row @ 08:05

Also, a hybrid with a 'new' white replacement panel on the front of the bus, at the lower right, under the headlight. Identify. (Please.  ;D)

550*(?) on a 29/A. Outbound from Harborne Junction at 15:50 approx. - I dont even know if its in service, but a hybrid definitely went onto Vivian Road... :)

*4780 on 101 all day, i think.

Please don't post guesswork, There is no Hybrid on the 29A, I presume you saw 5504 running private to start service

May have been. @Tony - I do apologise, i'll try my best not to in the future, again, sorry.  ;)

5504 :)

That one had already lost its Electric Hybrid Bus branding on the upper windscreen, and fleetname on the front lower panels so might not be the first time this one has had front end damage.

2142 was on the 24 this morning, again. Same time departure, also. 08:05. *There's a glitch in the matrix*

At the junction with Bridge Street, by any chance?

Twice in the last week I've seen buses have to slam the brakes and horn on when a car decides to pull out in front (The first time i was on the bus in question, and the second i was on one going the opposite direction). Are they expecting the buses to give way? You'd think they'd be a bit more careful with a police officer standing next to them!

801, 805 in Wolverhampton earlier. Surprised none of you Wolvo based nuts @Nathan have a stake out in the bus station and frollock over the rarity of BC's finest E200's out of territory.

Still waiting on that list of Wolvos RR's.

@Liverpool Street, WN are using B7RLE's on Rail Replacement. 2003 was on there the other night and there was one parked up on Stand U in Wolves Bus Station earlier on this evening (Didn't catch fleet no. sorry)

[Liverpool Street]

Thanks @Nathan

Tonights offerings from BC were 804 and 4433 if anyone is bothered. There's loads of neat spaces just outside Wolverhampton for some decent photographs. Might have to bring a camera next time I have a late night stake out in the automobile .
