Why would you rebrand ones with price advertising when there are plenty of plain ones at the same garage?
arent the plain ones fitted with tacho graphs

Not all the 75XX have price branding. 7528 and 7529 don't as I've seen those on the University routes over the last few days.
Looking at the main site it looks like 7523 upwards are all unbranded. Do all of them have tachographs?

Disappointingly it seems that a stop has been added between George Road and Granville St for the X20/X21/X22 where the 98 and X64 used to stop (though not updated on the announcements). Can't see the point of this unless the 'temporary' stop on George Road is going.

07:56 X2 from Yardley Swan to Solihull never operated this morning for some reason?

4 platinums on the 55 today. So looks like these are going to be normal on there. As they are on there every day now.

6856, 7520, 7523 and 7526.

Birmingham City Centre is also at a standstill today.
Priory Queensway/Old Square/Moor Street/Bull Street/Jennens Road. All completly blocked up and at a standstill. Not seen it that bad before.
4, 6, 50, 97, Sutton routes, etc. are all using Priory Queensway.

Anyone boarding the 55/94 services out of City Centre today, would be advised to board the service on Jennens Road outside Matthew Boulton College I think.

I suspect they were like that on Friday too.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

Must admit it was weird to hear '63 to Frankley' earlier on 6840 (though even weirder to hear "Northfield Baths" as it's not been called that in some time).

Got me thinking though what's stopping the Hybrids from doing these announcements too as it seems like a waste. Is it that they've not been used in some time and would cost money to sort out?
