4898 900 e400 broke down in meridian today around 1530 I was on it 1508 from Coventry pool meadow due to a problem with its gearbox when I asked the driver

Your post is very unclear. Could you elaborate on which direction it was heading?

Quite clear, it was on the 15:08 from Pool Meadow when it failed at 15:30 in Meriden, spelling & grammar may not be perfect, but a perfectly acceptable and understandable post.

4317 on this mornings 957

4324 out on the 957 today rode it back to Sheldon working the 10:37 ex Solihull

[:D]

I spotted a NX bus (although it doesn't seem to be from BC garage) being towed on Coventry Road going towards Tyseley on 14th feb at around 15:45.

Does anyone why tridents is becoming more common on 900/957 route? When enviro400 was introduced, these routes were usually worked fully by enviro400s.

Lastly, does sending a complaint letter/email to NX work? I complained once a while ago, no action was taken (as said by the same driver I complained about!) despite having evidence on my part. Now something happened with one of the drivers at BC garage, I'm debating if I should waste my time on writing a complaint letter/email to them, can anyone advise me on this one?

[Trident 4609]

E400's 4899/4909 are off the road after both were involved in a collision with each other meaning tridents/B7RLE's are filling in on the 957's and tridents are filling in on the 900. Also recently 900/57 branded buses have been appearing on the 24,45/7,59,60,61/3 etc

I'll PM you.

And the reason for the Tridents I think is due merely to the parking arrangements at BC. Bit, all over the place. Also some are put on short runnings due to V. I. and Steam Clean. I saw Alice getting steamed in Digbeth yesterday. Probably explains it.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is V. I. ?
Thanks.

My best friend lives close to the Caarlyle yard in West Bromwich. He said the other day he saw 4899 and 4909. I just forgot to mention it. Thanks LS

Does this mean Tridents will stop appearing on the 900/957 now?
