@Tony Fair enough, Thanks!

Caught 4931 on the 101 this morning.. Makes a change from the usual Trident E400s, though, would've preferred a B7TL to show up! :P

4856 now in for repaint, last of the red/white 61 plates at PB

John · July 06, 2016, 05:54:56 PM

4852 is now 33 branded
4843 is now Group Daysaver branded

4855 has made an appearance on the 101 in all its unbranded glory..

Michael Bevan · July 20, 2016, 07:10:00 PM

4853 has finally had it's name and 33 branding applied. Was out on the 33 earlier.

Some delays on the 101 yesterday - 3 in convoy, city-bound, around 1730 - one of which was terminating in Jewellery Quarter; Since the only 101E journey that's been programmed is to Handsworth Grove Lane, I suggested to NX that they should program some more 'E' displays for the 101 - We shall see...

TL;DR I contacted NX and asked them if it were possible they could program more 'E' journeys on the 101.

The suggestions I gave were:
101E: Jewellery Quarter
101E: Winson Green (Devonshire Arms)

Question on top of your suggestion... Is it possible to Turn a bus around at Devonshire arms to pick up service in the other direction... Or is your suggestion based on the bus then running dead to either terminus,?

Anybody any ideas why 1864 (Iris) was in Stourbridge at Lunchtime, @Tony @John ??

I have no idea. Quite a way away from us. Maybe something to do with rail replacement or a special service?

Know it sounds daft, but looked like it was on Driver Training, I saw it heading towards Hagley from the Foley Arms island. Was a chap stood next to the driver, sadly it pulled into a bus stop and so I lost it.
