7501 (in service on the 16) has just passed my 74 on the Soho Road, heading citybound

can't think of where it came from.. somewhere from Handsworth Wood, I suppose - and then following the 101 route to Soho Road?

Would have been 7506, as that was on the 94 today.
(Left the City Centre at 15:30).

Nice allocation on the 94 this evening, all E400 and a 750X Platinum, didn't see any Gemini betweeen City Centre - Fox & Goose.
Would be good to see some route branding on this corridor I think, maybe route brand 4801 - 12.

P46, what are they talking about when they make the point depot redesign, i thought this garage was due to close soon and relocate or is that what they are referring too?

Scrap that, it said on P47 purchasing only EV buses this year but that's under the Done column

Still don't get where you are coming from. Where does it say no more (electric) buses will be ordered?

I'm confusing myself here haha.

On P47 it say only EVs purchased for the year (does that mean Only the electrics will be purchased in 2020 no normal diesels for the 2020 bus order?)
