1) broad st is getting a nightmare in evening rush-hour when there are events on what can take 10-15 mins from five ways is taking 40 mins on the 22/23/24/29.  The lights where the copper is on broad street need changing from pelican crossing and have  the lights so outbound stop and cars can easy turn onto bridge street or you move the diversion for private vechicles so they use sheepcote st, enabling buses to use broad street more easy. 

2)It is going to get worse when they start sprint & metrto on Broad st later this year.

2124 is on the 99

Don't know if it had been mentioned, but there is a branded Hybrid with the number on the left and big destinations (like the 35 on Some Enviro400s), on the 24

a 99 branded E200 should make it to Wolverhampton by tonight unless it's on its way back to Birmingham

I saw that last week @John, think it was 5516

Yes it is 5516, saw it again today. (There might be more than 1 though)

Is the Adderly Street open area opposite Birmingham Central, the pen they keep the buses ?! I've wanted to get good shots of bus garages yet I can't seem to do so. I don't want to be seen as intrusive so I keep my distance.

Not open to the public but you can peer through the gate I guess.

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.

@Tony; Like @nxwmbusfan1999 - I agree, it's a nice shot...

By any chance, would 6111 be at BC for type training, for when they get their MMCs?

No, it was there because I needed somewhere to park it.
