will love seeing this mixture of PB buses on stechford lane on the 55 tomorrow

[monkeyjoe]

Just looked on bustimes shows at sn15 assuming ex 11 buses going down the collector Rd assuming positioning from PB

[Jack6101]

Just saw 4596 in town on the 94 but going else where so couldn't get it on the 94 like old times

[SK68MEV]

4488 is on the 55 very wierd too see it on the 55

They haven't changed the flags at the Fox & Goose.
Though they will probably all need changing again in about 4 weeks time.

the 55 is still running via coleshill road and both bc buses appearing on 94 and pb on 55 so it's nice too see a mixture of tridents e400 e40d e400 mmc and bc platinum 6852 on 94

4829 went down Stechford Lane and stopped on the 11C stop outside Aldi.
So some going one way and others going the other?
Might as well just have left the route change to August and change all the flags in one go.

i seen 4488 go down coleshill road i'm not sure if all drivers are aware of route change

I'm not being rude, but how can drivers not know about changes. Do they not get comms or radio messages / emails etc. Just curious really ?

normally if there a planned diversion on route the diversion route is always on the clipboard that shows the running board for the bus so surely the route changes have to be on there too so probably careless drivers not reading it or drivers not telling other drivers most likely

No. Route changes are done in the garage route learning on a bus with the DTOs Drivers on the rota will have to do it this way, as well as anyone wanting to do the 55/94 as overtime

It would be considered a waste of taxpayer money if they changed just those flags now, only to then have to change them again a few weeks later.

Ever consider the possibility of 'force of habit'? I would of course expect drivers to be fully aware of any route change before they start their duty, however bus drivers are also human just like the rest of us.

But equally passengers need to know where the bus is going to stop. So to change the route and not change the flags is unacceptable as well.
The answer would be to delay the route change I think.
