So missing out Minworth? Sunday trade from the Hare and Hounds (at least that's what I think it's called)?

:o Jesus Christ! I'm going out to look for it in case it's still on! Strangest working of the year, that is.

Urr.. 99 BNS - Halesowen? Where did you see it? Its a bit hairy on Wheeleys Road as the trees are very low. (They've been known to strike the 'pod' on B7RLE's)

If you saw it parked up at BNS its probably on a suit Contract.

No I do believe it, they seem to be putting the deckers out in service, if they put one on the 71 which apparently has a low bridge, then I wouldn't put it past them to put one on the 99.

Oh yeah I read about that.. it diverted via the 71A or something?

Maybe it won't be long before you'll see a NX decker on there... I only wonder how it diverted around those trees..

Or was it that low height decker? If that makes any difference.

Wondering now if they have 3 now. I am now thinking one of the two I saw at Chelmsley today may have been T811 RFG, unfortunately the one I photographed was T816 RFG. Time to check next time I see one of them
