Waterlinks Shuttle bus. I don't know what it is, but it is in Aston

I don't know if it is for Waterlinks House, an Office block just off the ring road off Dartmouth Circus

That was the service ran using a Solo. So it must loop round the city then or something.

So,

1) A new bus out that hasn't been reported
2) The first time a branded 63-plate E400 has been off route

Amy. I got a nice photo which will be appearing soon

With 4922 out now, does this mean that 4919-21 (maybe even a few above 4922) are also out in service, or about to enter service?

Possibly, I have been in the office at Miller Street today, so not paying too much attention, so was surprised as anyone when 4922 turned up to take me back to City for my train. Driver had just brought it out for an evening peak board, had 244 miles on the clock, most of which would be the drive down from Scarborough
