6029 and one of its brethren were still bending this morning at 0740.

I managed to get on 4829 on the 101 this morning. Great bus, for that service anyway. Notably quicker/smoother than the B7TL, however, the front of the bus' handrail positioning is certainly something the people, who are usually 'accustomed' to the B7s, will miss.

I always feel the Enviros are missing a handrail/handle behind the ticket machine. When waiting to get off the bus (and correctly stood off the platform), it is only possible to hold onto a pole on the left, rather than to hold onto two poles either side of the aisle.

I can't really see any obvious reason why there isn't a pole/handle there?

One of the many reasons I don't like the enviro 400 is lack of handrails.

I've noticed on 4830 onwards the single seat there is an extra bar something
The 47xx don't have.

There is also not a proper luggage rack.

Very poorley designed compared to earlier trident and Gemini.
Also outside the indicator lights are not as clear to Volvo products.

Well, on the BU07 Enviro 400's there is a handrail behind the driver area, the ticket machine is by the disabled zone.

@ronnoc1k8 Weirdly enough, I heard from someone that the only bus with the ticket machine, behind the two front seats, is 4718...

Whilst i was on the 11C earlier there was a 654 coming from perry barr, isn't today when the route was split?

Yes, thy are now split. Saw both a 54 and 68C today, and a Diamond Solo on the 54A on Sunday. But 763 (I think) still had 654 on, so it's blinds can't have been updated (must be the one you saw)

Bus Stop flags in One Stop are also still saying 654/A

4240 involved in an incident at Priory Queensway. 2 Ambulances in attendance. Must have happened in the last 45 minutes as it wasn't there when I passed Priory at 1720

6029 was bending around Tony Hancock square on the 2100 earlier. Couldn't board it as I had a Magners appointment to keep.

Not sure if I was seeing things, but has 4809 transferred? I think I saw it today, though, it could've been 4829.
