Has anyone seen any Hybrids on the 24 since the April 27th service changes? Up until last week there were around 4 -5 a day on there, I don't recall having seen any this week - unless they're avoiding me.

5404 on there today

Ok cheers Tony - looks like they have cut back on the numbers on there over the last few days.

All 16 22/23 running boards were hybrids today and 5505 hasn't come out

Maybe coming off a 70 or 97?

Could also have been there for training purposes or route learning, you never know. I wouldn't have thought 14 purely as Yorkminster drive was mentioned, but 97 or 70 maybe.

Victoria (aka 4909) has had her rear branding reapplied. :)

Also this morning around 9:15am I seen 805 parked up at Marston Green Rail Station I immediatley thought it worked the 14E to Tile Cross then around 09:25-09:30 it left the station it turned towards Marston Green Tavern then a couple of minutes later it returned heading towards Birmingham.

Has the 14E to Tile Cross been extended to Marston Green? As I don't usually see a 99 E200 parked there. :)

From what I've seen it also looks like the 22/23 has reverted back to hybrid operation at night.

2123 is at AG Tony ;)

I think you will find it is at BC! been on the X64 all day, why do you think AG have 7027!

That must be why we got 1837 back from Bordesley

Alanna aka 4910 is now back in traffic having being repaired and has a new top front window and the branding which probably will get reapplied at some point.
