I assume so if I saw it right and it wasn't just a mark or something. But it did look like one of the Stickers you see on the EV's and Hydrogens. I've never seen on them cars. And I know from experience The fire brigade were presumably called by the Police as a Drunk Taxi Driver decided to crash his Prius on a Cul De Sac In Darlaston

Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on June 27, 2024, 01:08:38 PMNoticed on my way to the Doctors this morning 5426 a hybrid which I believe is still Hybrid has a little Sticker on the destination board surround with what looks like the sort of sticker you see on the Hydrogens and Electrics. Assuming these Hybrids remain Hybrids will they all get this sticker. 5404 which is Diesel didn't have one
All 30 had them applied a couple of weeks ago, the converted ones by mistake and had them removed

As a matter of interest which ones haven't been converted and I guess they wouldn't be now

Do others sound like Enviro 200s then or does it have it's own unique sound , the 4 cylinders versions must feel underpowered some what.
