That wasn't a staff bus - it just left the destination up.

And B7RLE's are the allocation of the Staff.

It orginally was a Staff bus as an Engineer and Staff were sitting on it before they swapped buses and that went out as a 29

Yes engineer brought that bus as a change bus out to the driver around 13:25. Not quite sure why the driver taking the defective bus back would have put 'Staff Bus' back up, should have just put Sorry not in service up which is easier than staff bus

It was not a staff bus at 13:29. Staff Bus finishes at 07:00 and doesn't start again until Midnight

Oh, I thought it was as the Driver had Staff Bus on display, the driver on 2152 changed the display and left as the 29 the other bus left with NOT IN SERVICE with several staff on board ovbouisly the ones that had just finished the 22/3/4/9/9A

I don't know if it still comes up when you put up Staff Bus, Rail Replacement, or Metro Replacement, Misuse Prohibited would scroll along the bottom of the display in the cab

The 50 starts from Kings Heath around 3pm heads into Birmingham and does a few full trips

I think the 9 is around 7.30am and it starts from Halesowen into Birmingham

Nathan4775 may know about the 966 as he got a pic of it in Solihull

I never knew about the 49  ;)

[Nathan4775]

The 966 does a school run AM college days and gets into Solihull Station at around 8:30/8:45 I think will double check though

[Ashley 4566]

Would be a very early start but id one day tr and see them, thanks for the replies

[Nathan4775]

I just need to see the 71 an 50 seen the rest (:

BC did a 49E from St Thomas Aquinas in Kings Norton to Northfield think it starts around 15:25 although it maybe earlier but I have a feeling this has now been renumbered 849.
