Has anyone else ever wondered why the Enviros aren't used on other routes on Sundays? 45/47, for instance?

How many E400's are used on Sundays? I suppose they could do what Coventry do and put branded buses on other routes on Sundays because the B7's are more fuel efficient than the mercs

Should only be 5 for the 900 and 4 for the 957. Leaving 9 spare (minus the Enviro that's out of action)

They use them on the 60 as well on Sundays, don't they?

[Trident 4609]

Yes the unbranded E400's are used on the 60 on Sundays

[Sh4318]

Yes the unbranded E400's are used on the 60 on Sundays

All of them?

I'm not sure how many but I tend to see the unbranded E400's work the 60,900 and 957 on Sundays. Maybe Rob can help?

I go on the same bus routes as rob I know about 60,900,957
900/957 with their branded E400s they do use unbranded E400s like 4906 or 4903
60 MON-FRI-SAT there tridents but on sundays 60 and 60E can be tridents or unbranded E400s

Went on 5407 earlier today on a 24 to Woodgate Valley, what on earth is that horrible high-pitched whistle noise that occasionally comes over the speaker?  :o

[Liberator9]

Had it on one of the WN Wright Hybrids recently as well. I reckon it is the microphone coming on for the automated voice but the voice for some reason doesn't work. I have the OMSI simulator and there's a microphone system on the SD200, which when operated makes a very similar noise.

Noticed 98 also has super x blinds but the word font used looks tiny

Lol! The talking system doesn't work when on the 24, but I did have the 'pleasure' of Phil Upton announcing stops on the 23 I got back to Birmingham. It's not a bad idea in principle, but I imagine if you got the 22/23 everyday you'd soon get sick of it!

Does anybody know what happened to 4367 between 12-1pm today? Because it should have worked the 12:58 70 from Birmingham to Solihull due in Sheldon at 14:26 and it never showed up.

If anybody knows anything can you please let me know I'm just curious as to why it was missing.

Thank You :)

A breakdown or defect with the bus maybe?
