Has 5409 ventured out into service?

No, at Graysons for working out how to Euro 6 it. Because of the bigger engine than the other hybrids, less room for the new exhaust system

What is the difference with the engine? I'm guessing the hybrids had a 4cyl engine with the hybrid system, and 5409 had that replaced with a 6cyl?

Can we please have a moment of appreciation for the driver of 6765 on the 529 this afternoon?

How he continued driving while a group of 'school kids' ,for want of a better word, decided to hold an impromptu 'disco' on the upper deck, beats me.

Personally I wouldn't blamed him, if he wanted to 'test his brakes' for an emergency stop!

The racket of the little sods!

as a guess just   ignored them &  drove instead of the kids giving the driver  grief about why you stopped  but it will all be on film to show the school if they was at school

Of course, they wasn't / wouldn't have been at school anyway (AFAIK, unless they were children of key workers)!

Talking of 'film', looking at the screen downstairs, that cycled through the various cameras, there was a lovely close up of the one little darling, so if there was damage on the vehicle, there's a start for Tony & his mates!

Don't know if this has happened during the lockdown, but pre-lockdown I'm sure WB operated an AM board on the X8, which went onto the 74, and PN on the 16 (Think it did Kingswinford - Stourbridge). Do they still run these boards or have they stopped all together?

Do they still run these boards or have they stopped all together?

The WB peak morning board has run for many years starting with 140 / 241 journeys then running dead back to depot from Dudley. The board has gradually changed as the routes have changed latterly operating X8 Bearwood - Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton - Birmingham before going onto the 74E. The consistency has been the same WB driver operating that board, not sure what has happened in COVID, extra bus mainly needed due to peak time running times.

Looks like according to Twitter, Wolves has a 'celebrity' guest bus driver at the moment!
