Trident 4609

Several Trident's on the 60 today. Usually fully E400 operated nowadays (especially on a Sunday)

The photo of the new Pershore Road 45/47 branding on 4896 on the main site shows West Heath in the list of places served. I thought that only the 45 served West Heath (47 serving Turves Green and Cofton Hackett). Is this correct?

Crap branding.

Cotteridge / Stirchley / Selly Park / city centre (no capitals??) Is what it should be.

And orange? Pfft.

And below the front windscreen, why have NXWM logo instead of a big Pershore Road woriding?

While I am having a moan...please can members(or some of them) please try to write in at least understandable English,whilst nobody expects Shakespeare,the standard is abysmal,especially now spell checkers exist.

As far as I'm aware all branding say 'city centre'. It's always annoyed me as well, looks out of place with all the other place names.

I took a visit to BC today and upon returning I saw a 14 Branded Trident being driven by an Engineer which left a cloud of black smoke upon pulling off

The branding's ok. I don't know about orange for the Pershore Road, but at least it's not blue

I don't use the 63, but that's good news. Hopefully now all the students based there can use the bus, freeing up and stopping the price surges with Uber. Meaning I can get home from work more quickly and cheaper. 😃

That's an impressive night service frequency. Will any journeys extend beyond Selly Oak say on an hourly basis?

Looks like a one bus operation so it'll only be doing Selly to city

Bit of a waste only running to Selly Oak.
Hopefully over time they'd extend to Northfield at least
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Quite tight timings then. It could take more than a minute to get round Selly Oak triangle if the lights are against you. I sincerely hope that the destination shows "Selly Oak, Big John's" but I suspect it might be Oak Tree Lane.
