@Dom, 5512 on the 24 is not noteworthy. Whilst there haven't been quite so many Hybrids on the 24 of late, on some days you can see as many as 3 or 4 on there.

Its Birmingham International. Of course it's open 24/7.

97Airport ring any bells?

No the airport does not have any flights that arrive after half one in the morning (as I live by the airport I can hear it lol)  so I doubt the departures lounge is open 24/7 tbh

Some flights arrive about 3 am on odd days. Also some flights start at 5:00 am

I forgot about that one  :) however that is only servicing from Bordersley Green , Chelmsley Wood. I would imagine a lot of workers from the airport also from Coventry, Small heath etc

Wish I'd managed to get a shot of this, but 5512 went down Colmore Row at 15.45 this afternoon showing '33 Pheasey via Perry Barr'. Very quickly changed to a 23 before he'd even pulled into the stop though.

A shame. I often wondered, since being informed of garages with each others routes on them, what a hybrid would look like on any PB service, predominantly the 16/101. ;)

Do we know many are going to be done in total?

Is every bus programmed with every route ?! Or just routes associated with its garage.

It's normally just the routes that the garage operates, however some garages do have other routes programmed in!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

AG have YW routes programmed in. The 900 is also programmed in. I've not tried any other BC routes, but seeing as the staff bus display only has AG & YWs in, I doubt any other BC routes. I'll try tomorrow or the day after to see if anything else is in.

Also V festival routes are programmed in. It's just the letter V in the Hanover device.

Also the Enviro400 MMC display on a Plaxton President, and Enviro200 MMC on a Scania.

BC / BY / PB all in one.

AG / YW  together.

PN separate and CV separate.

@Tony confirm.

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.
