Listened to a PB Driver bitchfest outside Aston Uni as they were changing drivers yesterday. They are not happy. Apparently the new E400's are substantially slower and less powerful than the ones they've lost. A couple have already run out of AdBlue resulting in them going no faster than 25mph. Apparently one of these incidents was on the Expressway.

I can see their point, was on the 957 yesterday, driver was hurrying passengers on as he was running late and was trying to catch up time but it just wasn't having it, but they might settle in a bit soon though as the same was said about the new B7s

The 900 E400's are fine now. Still slow in comparison but better then when they were brand new. The BC engineering team/ADL After Sales Support seems to have clocked the ECU for better power delivery.. don't know how it has affected overall MPG.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

I presume thats the old Ansells pub on Corporation Street, near Lancaster Circus.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Junction of Lichfield Road and Sandy Lane, but you need to be of a certain age to remember it was a pub to be honest, at least when it was an operational boozer!
Don't you start.

4. If not 5 28's running towards Heartlands Hospital. Would this be the most 28's grouped together ?

Two 66's left town together too (1907+7028)
