From observations over the last week or so, it looks like the allocations have sorted themselves out now, I've only really seen 37-branded E200s on the 37, yesterday there were two unbranded E200s on the 1E, and this morning there were unbranded/price-branded E200s on both the 1 and the 11E. (Then a 37-branded E200 appeared on the 1E!)

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, 1940 was out on the 37 this morning, so would have been an early-starter based on where I saw it parked last night. (It was doing the journey that I normally find is a Gemini, the 8:13 from Acocks Green to city)

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

Apparently the management have been tackling the "branding" issue, and basically told the engineers to sort the allocations out.

Last week, a 37 branded MMC was about to go on the 1, but 1940 replaced it before it left the garage.

Saw 4529 today on the 5. Found it hard to tell it was repainted from the front, the whole repainted looks pretty good. Definitely doesn't have a rear dot matrix, where it should be is completely empty

1909 currently at AG. 4518 & 4678 now branded for the Circle. 4518 seems to have lost its cooling fan issue. Passed me 3 times on the other side of the road sounding normal.

:o. That's the most surprising thing I've heard all week, I don't think I've ever heard 4518 without the cooling fan going off

I was surprised to see 4518 branded. I passed it at Six Ways around half 7 tonight. The dot matrix display drew me to notice it.

When the cooling fan issue was ongoing, it would go off after a bit, when going down hill, and leaving it revving at approx 2000rpm, and letting go of the accelerator. It would stay off for about 30 seconds after a stop.

You'll be pleased to know that 4534 has a constant cooling fan then :)

2248 is on the 1

There are several on the 1 each day, they don't need individual reporting
