Trees are starting to be cut on Kenrick Avenue today.

Just seen a 63 displaying Rubery via Bristol Road instead of part route so I'm guessing timetabled. Bit of nostalgia nonetheless.

I've been seeing that recently with other routes too.The 4 says Acocks Green via Warwick road.It normally is a part route.

BC driver route learning on 55 today

Spoke to a BY driver on 55 who said is transferring to BC with 55 that 55 may be diverted from Sunday as trees have not been cut yet any confirmation of this?

There were still a couple hitting a test bus yesterday, which have been requested to be cut back, so a diversion is still possible

55 seems to be fully E400 today. Think 4899, 4905, 4939 and possibly 4880 are the ones I can remember seeing. Caught 4899 on there this afternoon.
94 also had 6823 and 09 Plate E400 and Gemini. So fully double decker on the 55/94 today.

Would be nice to see some joint 55/94 branding on the ex 16 09 plates and some of the BC E400 I think


Also saw 6827 and 6892 on the X12. Seems strange seeing BC Platinums there.
Local Routes

Joint branding for the 55 and 94 would be difficult as they're operated by different garages

I'd have thought they could just brand 2 different batches of buses at the different garages?

"55/94 City Centre - Washwood Heath - Ward End - Chelmsley every 4 minutes
55 via Shard End & Kingshurst 94 via Castle Brom".
