4909 had a new rear end fitted after her RTC with 4899 ;) I'll go into Solihull tomorrow to get a clip and a pic of her new rear end :)

They may re-apply the branding to both 4899 and 4909 as the time goes on but we'll just have to wait and see if they do. :)

They certainly haven't on the 99 branded E200s. 804, 805 and 807 all have either front or rear branding missing.

They have however reapplied missing livery detail on hybrids 5501 (serious offside accident damage) and 5502 (replacement upper rear window).

Seems 957 also now has Super X display
Are all BC route buses that support it getting it I wonder

Do you know which Enviro has this? As I might go and try and photograph or get a clip of it in the next few days :) I'll keep an eye on the 60 aswell as I know 1 Enviro is usually on the 60 almost everyday :)
was on a 21xx bus

Possibly 2150 then - that one has a Super X display at the moment.

I saw it on the 97p last week. The side display was scrolling, but the front wasn't

The front wasn't scrolling when I saw it on the 29 either, didn't see the side

I can safely say, the 29 side displays do not scroll... Ashamed that the front didn't tbh. I mean, if NX were GOING to SuperX it, then they might as well have used the scrolling feature... ::)

Currently on 4895 on 900 which doesn't sound very healthy, running 15 minutes late and losing time.

I noticed that when I walked past it in town this morning (Or was it yesterday?). Very "grindy" and rough sounding diesel lump.

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'm not an engineer but it make a sound I associate with the exhaust was failing. No go on the open road.

Funnily enough on Wednesday I seen 4615 in Sheldon Not In Service heading towards the Airport and I thought its either going to replace a Trident on the 97 or an E400 on a 900 from Coventry anyway I waited for the 10:10 900 to arrive in Sheldon at 11am to see if 4615 replaced that E400 but it didn't 4615 replaced 4895 on the 11:03 900 from the Airport seen it from my front door I wondered what the reason was now I know.
