Look at the photo of 4040 just posted on the main site. It was repainted back in 2008 - no wonder it's dented and faded!

I seem to remember 4040 was one of the very early repaints

2240/41 parked in the garage with 65 plates, although the last letters are covered. Not sure if already mentioned.

Two E200s off route today. I was on 2211 on the 37 and at around 1245 the driver turned off at Camp Hill down Bradford Street, rejoining the route via Rea Street. The E200 in front of us went straight on as usual. Is that an authorised diversion? 2212 was in Moor Street beyond the Albert Street junction, perhaps broken down.

Bad day for AG today.

Three drivers sat in traffic office this morning due to no buses!

I had an hours wait for my Gemini which came off another route after the morning peak!

Also 4082 has broke its gearbox, after being repaired and being on the road for around 2 weeks. Looks like the next withdrawal!

2236 seems to have a fault with the right side of the destination screen noticed yesterday when I caught it on Chipperfield Road & on the 3 occasions I have caught it on the 72 the CCTV monitor was switched off.

2237 on 72 saw it at Saltley about 9:50 heading to Solihull if anybody wants photos

2242 and two others (2243/4? Maybe?) now at AG.

By the series of photos of it, appears to have been repainted December 2007, and had a succession of logos applied. Interestingly that dent on the offside lower deck panel in front of the short central bay seems to have been there since at least 2012.....

Good news on delivery of some of the remaining E200s, presumably the last few will arrive next week.

2212 has really taken a dislike to the 37 hasn't it  ???
