Is there a reason for the many E200MMC off route over the last few days? One or two is fair enough but 11 yesterday and 7 today?

I've noticed that since they've arrived myself. Suppose the allocator is taking it easy.

The destination display on 2236 look like something is wrong with it part of the part of the 11E and Fox And Goose were not displaying properly

I've noticed that fault since it first entered service. I would have thought that faults with destination equipment would be seen to quite quickly.

4661 was surrounded with ambulances in Acocks Green village around 5.

Looks as if the 71E went the wrong way out of JLR tonight. Spotted him doing a u turn just before the canal bridge. The 957 was parked up just after the bus stop, so I assume he was assisting with the reverse. He also seemed to start at the Hospital rather than the town centre!

As is 2243. I guess with the shortage of vehicles at present, the recent arrivals have been pressed into service quickly. Maybe over the weekend, when less buses are required, they'll be able to get them branded up and back on the correct routes next week.

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

The route brander has been at Coventry this week, doing the Enviro 400s, he's due back at AG tomorrow

An MMC on the 37 had an RTC with another bus this morning, apparently. At Solihull Station. Whether it's true or not, I can't confirm.

Does anyone know if since the recent timetable changes, the 31 evening allocations have changed? Its just that in the last couple of weeks, I only seem to see double-decks on the 31 passing my house throughout the evening, where previously it used to be single-decks that came off the 37.
