Anyone noticed the displays on the Coventry Road buses today? Was on 4805(?) on the 16, went pass an exWA E400, on the 60 displaying its normal destination, and then alternating between that and "on diversion; enquire with driver" - saw it on a B7RLE, on the 59, also.

Or possibly the buses were on diversion due to Birmingham City playing at home

They're not normally diverted Blues games are they? Or was there a good attendance with the mighty QPR being in town?

Sorry for going off topic, but have to ask @Dom who the "Dingles" are?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Not sure, sometimes I pass there and the Coventry road is closed, or see on Twitter that the buses are being diverted
