Just seen 4905 heading out of town down Broad Street on the 24, no idea how uncommon this is or not.

Usual allocation at peaks
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

:D

4910 is having problems with opening & closing the door. An inspector fixed it using percussive maintenance technique, it was quite interesting to watch.

808 on the 98 today. Also had a scrolling display, so it must be programmed for all routes on the Enviro200s, not just on the 99 display

Noticed on 900 the 900 number is now on the left (like old times! That I remember that is) and says Birmingham no via points or anything

Really? After all that hullabaloo regarding it I thought it was permanently banned!

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.

I noticed a B7RLE on the 29 this evening with the '29' in a different font style. Is this one of the new 'Super X' displays?

There's a typo on the Super X 99 display. Towards Birmingham it was showing 'via QE Hosptial'.
