Lmao it was diverted today. Broken down coach. Misses out Swanshurst Park/Lane area. It was diverted for around 5-6 hours.

I noticed the broken down coach as I was at that island waiting for a A service as plenty of 2s and 3s passed me and 11Cs but nothing on the A...until GRS turned up.

I had noticed on my app before I got there on a President that there was bunching even at King's Heath so the diversion wasn't the only thing affecting it

Bunching began at Bromford, but it wasn't causing delays of greater than 15 mins so it wouldn't have been adjusted.

Forgive me for asking but since when has the 1 gone to Hall Green?

Also has anyone noticed on 4023 that the one tip up seat is in a similar style as what stagecoach have on their olympians?

Three ADL guys delivered some buses today at AG. I saw 2224 with papers/plastic covers all over the interior. Not sure how long this has been at AG as I don't really watch the delivery dates, but this could be one of the fresh ones.

4023 is now on the list of to be withdrawn from AG. Should be going with the next lot of Presidents.

Edit: 4082 has not moved now for around 2 weeks. This ones probably due out too.

Yeah, according to "people in the know" at AG lol

Something about at MOT due to expire.

You'd obviously be able to correct me if it's wrong.
