Has 4881 been reported as moving across to BC yet (apologies if I've missed it)?

It's on the 22/23 today.

Still not seen 4877.

4877 on the 45/47

Hasn't anybody mentioned 4881? I just got off it! It's been quite a while now... Rode it a couple times on the 24, as for 4877 - i'd usually find it on the 24. I'll let you know if I see it today, @Mike K

Cheers Clayderman, me not paying attention then.

You weren't the only one - I had 4881 still at WA as well. BC have 4872-84 & remaining at WA 4857-71, of that batch.

Is there many E400s on the 61/63 now as BC have 4872-4884 and 4940-4949 all unbranded?

Occasional enough to not be considered in the least sense of noteworthy. Standard allocation is E400/Tridents.

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.

Got on the first 900A this morning - 2:55 from moor st, and it seemed pretty well used. Last time I got the first bus was when it was at 4am and there was only a couple of people on it, so it seems to be picking up!

If not already mentioned, 4912 is now 45/47 branded which only leaves 4913 to be branded out of 4895-4913. Saw 4912 about 10 mins ago heading towards City Centre on 47 at Turves Green.

It didn't take 4152 long to get back home did it! Its only recently moved out! I assume its a loan?

@John 2116 has been on the 24 all day, IIRC. Transfer, I'm assuming - although, with a forum search, there's been no mention of it.

Also - it seems as if they've rectified the typo with the 23A display... No longer does it display '23A Kiwell & Woodgate' - yes, "Kiwell" - but it now scrolls, and replaced the '&' with the actual word, 'and'. Shame the 29A still shows 'via Haborne' - not "Harborne".

Assuming 2120 will complete the set, that's a healthy wedge of 37 B7RLEs BC has now to cover the 29/A, 58/59 and 98. No idea what the combined PVRs of that lot is, but I'm sure it can't be that high.

Word on the street is the 29 will be going back to deckers. Big changes rumoured for November - maybe the singles are for the 25 & 26...
