Saw an E200 at Moor Street this afternoon. The destination boards were scrolling the stations it was serving. That's something I've never seen before
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Yeah, saw one earlier, with scrolling side displays. Is the rail replacement running all day? It's just that on the Network West Midlands and London Midlands website it's showing 'Good Service' for the Snow Hill line.

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

Thank you. I have also seen the comments I agree with a lot of them. I mean titles like "Fox & Goose" great for locals but ermmm...

Who ever designed the 11 icon, without being disrespectful; was it a school competition? I'll read up on it later, cheers.

Took a photo of my bus. 4510 it was.

Is AG really overcrowded with them losing the 73 and the rumours of the 966 and some 11s??? Maybe they might gain more ex Lea hall routes and bring some up grades lol

I bet the 11 and 966 rumours aren't true.

I think it's more due to a shortage of drivers though at AG. But think about it, we're losing the 73 but extra journeys on the 72. I think it's two buses we're losing, and BC is gaining 4608/9 from WN.
