I was tempted to go for it but decided its not worth putting the mileage on my car and driving in an area I don't know.

Why not use the free rail pass they provide you with?

Because pheasey don't have a train station so by time I drive / bus it to bham it's not worth it and will be easier said than done when I start at 4am!

Are 4769 and 4775 branded yet?

JoNi

4769 has branding for Uni service, 4775 has no branding.

Sounds a stupid question I know but how often is there something other than a E400 on the 13?

Can be daily, can be weekly, or even more sporadically. But as of late there are fewer reports from Cov. The 21 is a similar story.

13 most days. Often the extra weekday afternoon bus that does schools then 16:15 to Whitmore Park staying out til the end.

I like the branding, and actually really like the livery too. The only thing that bugs me is the blue bars on the Ex-Perry Barr Enviro400s. Would have looked a lot better if the bars were painted black at refurb like 4768 onwards

1776 had its bar repainted upon refurb to Xplore Dundee livery

I did notice yesterday that 4765 has had its blue bars between the destination glass repainted black from blue. Looks a whole lot better than the others

Driver of 4403 put his foot down on the 18A this morning, gaining a cracked window in the process.
