It didn't come out of depot. It was used after finishing the last 62 journey on the running board to cover so the bus left on time. If a bus had come out of garage to cover that then it wouldn't have been anywhere near time, so basically wouldn't have run as far as the TC was concerned

Don't suppose 756 is still out?

I guess you're on about 4368; seeing as it's a rather recent transfer to Wolverhampton.

It was dubbed the "trojan bus" by some media outlets.. Here's an article by the BBC
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-24832520

It was kitted out in 2013, and also features "full-colour" LED destination displays; on front, side, and rear. Only ever time I've seen this used to its potential was when it was at BC, and the blinds for the 22 were programmed in bright green (as opposed to the typical orange).

4368, is the only bus I can think of which fits that description. I recall the speakers and screen (from what I recall at the time had a picture of a green hybrid bus on it).
From when it was at BC a few years back, I recall catching  that on a 70 from the Fox & Goose to Solihull.
