4688 does a full day in service and not one comment?
Tom's photo on Facebook is the only mention. Strange after all the fuss about 4687.

At least it shows the advantage of duplicate service numbers! If someone forgets to reprogramme the Destination it can still show the service number!

Didn't see 4688, are Perry Barr that short of buses they place a bus in service before they reprogrammed the destinations!

4687 on 94 today for anyone who wants it, it looks stunning.

Apologies, it may have changed routes then? At the time of posting BU05 HEV was definitely parked On priory queensway displaying '94 Birmingham'.

I know got to ride it from the Wood to Chipperfield Road refused a 44** Gemini in preference for 4687 actually missed 4688 earlier as I was in the KFC having some food. Makes a refreshing change to have Voith Gemini's as well as the Alx400 B7's

It was at 15:30 as I caught it from Chelmsley Wood to Chipperfield Road @Tony

@lauren1993 4697 has been on the 94 before I think sometime last week or the week before and so have 4777-4781 but it is a novelty as the normal allocation are B7TL either Gemini or ALX400's

4688 is on the 77 today.
