4466 is on the 24 today; I saw a 99 branded E200 zoom down Court Oak Road, near Queens Park - not sure if that's on the 24, though..

99 has been on diversion from city via Fellows Lane, Court Oak Rd, Tennal Lane for a few weeks now due to gasworks on Tennal Rd. Thought it was supposed to be finished by now.

Was this meant to be in both directions? I caught the 99 into City from Halesowen around a week and a half ago, and it was following it's normal route. ???

Thanks, @Sayeed :)

I can only apologise for the lateness but yesterday I clocked a Y Reg Trident with an engineer behind the wheel in Bordesley Green heading outbound. Any idea of where it was going ?

No, just from city

Ah, apparently the Fellows Lane diversion is in place until 18th April:

Not sure which one, but a 900 platinum is issuing NXC tickets today. As informed by my sister who was concerned about its validity. Haha

Same thing happened Tuesday. I really feel sorry for people buying the West Midlands daysavers on the blue Coventry tickets though; a lot of  drivers (outside of Coventry/Non Birmingham Central) seem to get confused about it.

Its the same reason I won't purchase N network tickets on a train.

They've been the 900 and 957 a lot recently with the odd Red and White E400 also on itsometimes.

Don't forget 4871/2 are the spare Platinum buses specifically painted for use on the 900/957

That's where I read about them being spare buses for the Platinum Buses on the 900 and 957.
