Is it probably due to 4903 being on the 61/3?

Trident 4609

I wonder if a trident has been filling in on the 900/57 with branded Enviro 400's appearing on other BC routes. Probably the unbranded E400's filling in though with more tridents on the 24 (Are the Unbranded E400's allocated to the 24 still?)

Would it not make more sense for:

Branded bus - to stay on route

Unbranded buses are used to fill were a branded bus would have been used. Instead of branded buses here! There an everywere

But it isn't always as simple as just sending a bus onto a route as one could be parked somewhere else at the garage meaning if say the next accesible bus to send out onto say the 60 is a 900 branded E400 then that gets sent out instead of waiting till a trident becomes avaliable

I see what your saying, regards to how there parked etc, yesterday I was having one of them days, wasn't thinking any of my post's through, so apologies

Proper Tridents, better than plastics, keep them on there if you can or have to :D

I saw a Trident on the X64 yesterday displaying Woodgate as the destination, anyone know why?

Possibly it had been on the 23 previously, and had switched onto the X64, but the display had got stuck whilst changing, see this happen quite often with dot matrix displays

It still had the number and via points correct though, only the destination was wrong.

Oh, not sure then.

It reminds me though, I have noticed in Colmore Row the digital departures list on the 22/23/24 etc. stand has been displaying the 22 with destination as Harborne

A lot of them do that. The 56 was being displayed as Fordbridge, and the 24 as World's End. The 952 had a weird one as well, something like Old Oscott on one of the stops. I'm not sure if these are all still the case.

New x64 route from February. It'll do up to Newman College then down to Woodgate and terminate. This is to coincide with the 29 changes. By the way, it's February now for the changes... they just cannot make up their minds.

That's the latest anyway!! Half and half for reliability of source though.

Makes sense with the destinations etc.

21 anyone?!

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
