Birmingham Central Garage

[MasterPlan]

I was on 6864 earlier this afternoon and the next stop announcement onboard display was blank while the vehicle was moving. When it came to a bus stop it came on briefly and then it turned off again similar to what @Materplan said above.
I noticed a few weeks ago 7522 was doing the same thing. So it might be a fault on some of the BC vehicles maybe @Tony?

No, what I said above was it was disappearing inbetween stops then all of a sudden it went to the generic NXWM screen before coming back on again only this time the NSA stayed on, which is why I asked if they could be fixed remotely.

do 4938 and 4939 carry the same black livery as when they were on 902 904 and 905?

The black travel card branding is original to when they was new in 2013 yes.

I'm pretty sure 4929 had it when it was at West Bromwich, then went to Wolverhampton where I think it got repainted then went to Birmingham central I'm sure.

4928-4937 all had it, they all got debranded when they was branded for the 5.

Yes I know but one of them lasted the longest because it was never branded for the 5. I thought it was 4929 but it wasent. I think its name was carol ann

[cris 99]

It was 4927

What route did the 96 take? (the 96 that was branded akin to the 97) 

And why was the the 97 branded buses painted all over red when no other bus was?

[ellspurs]

The 96 used to leave Birmingham via Deritend, Bordesley Station, Coventry Road, Cattell Road (past the Blues ground) up to Bordesley Green then as 97 route to Chelmsley Wood, then as current 72 route to Bluebell Drive.

If you mean Trident 4177, that was an experimental trial livery that was never adopted:

I believe 4177 was also fitted with a different Engine to the Other Tridents

4177 was one of a few 41** Tridents to have the Euro 4 engine as well as 4586/4619/4633/4

I knew it had something different to other Tridents in terms of Engine wasn't sure what. But yeah When 4633 and 34 were at WN and 4619 I did notice they sounded different
