Tony, is the plan for the Enviros to be cascaded onto the Bristol Rd too as there are always a few on there over the last few weeks.

808 AND 2127 on the 24 today. Does anybody know if 2127 will stay out all day?

@nxwmbusfan1999 Enviro400s on the 45/7 are not unusual anymore

Sayeed · June 23, 2015, 11:02:51 AM

It was about an hour ago. I was in convoy with it (was driving 4519).

Were you driving not in service? Or were you in convoy along the minute section of Lordswood Road between Harborne baths and Court Oak Road?

@MW Are you on about 2127? Anyway, I know 808 stayed out. I had the *pleasure* of riding it to and from school, well, from school to the terminus...

Also, despite not being noteworthy, 4904 is on the 45/7, as was 4948 - which isn't in service now, I believe - I did see it on the 47, citybound, before changing to NIS.

Can we stop reporting every E400 on the Pershore Road now please, there are up to 10 of them on there each day now

CL · June 24, 2015, 08:24:38 AM

808 on the 24, that makes it two days in a row... It may get to Five Ways, going citybound at 0830.

Also, had forgotten that 4368(?) - the 'trojan' bus is also on the 24. It should've left Colmore Row at 0815...

Jaysnerz007 · June 24, 2015, 10:53:16 AM

Why do they call it the trojan bus ?
