Nothing to do with the number of buses on the route, more to do with Birmingham city centre traffic lights not working properly causing gaps in service

My x20 outbound from city arrived at university only 3 minutes late

Does anyone know why the 45/47 branded E200s are being rebranded? Are they going to be crimsoned or are the 45/47 expecting new buses?

Doesn't make sense - E200? & re-branded ?

Busboy105

E400s and debranded. I don't know why I wrote e200 and rebranded. It was actually the opposite of what I was thinking.

They should be, that change is a month old.

It also needs adjusting on the announcements as the Moor St inbound one now is out of sync.

Credit to the driver of 6869 this morning for the way he dealt with one of the fare dodging little sh*ts from Harborne Academy, who marched past him without paying and then responded with a string of obscenities when challenged. Driver sounded the panic alarm for a good 2-3 minutes and refused to move until the offender, being stared at by loads of increasingly irate passengers, went back downstairs and paid.

There was a BC 682X Platinum on Cardigan Street earlier today at about 15:00. Looked like it was operating a shuttle route to Aston Villa.

It was 6821 and 6823 PB operating shuttle for the uni to wolves horse race tracks

Thanks for the info, fleet number was probably 6823 then. I wasn't able to make out what it said on the display or its fleet number, when I went past on the 94.

Anyone know what times the streetlites can be found working into the city, is it the evening peak 10?

On the 23 to Bartley green, I've noticed that there are 2 destination codes 1000 and 1003, any difference between the two?
