Keep forgetting to mention this.

4529 has gained an LED display on the back, after so many years of having a blank space.

Still has front and side dot matrix.



@Sh4318 you'll probably be interested in this lol

@MW how did you know?!  ;)

I'll be sure to keep an eye out

Yes I saw you post, only posted the 11 £2.10 single, so people know its still £2.40 on the 11 before 09:30 Monday to Friday.

4662 has had its 11 branding modified to include info about the £2.10 single fare on the 11. Its on the 11C today. It operated the 14:24 11C from Harborne.

Someone got on 6121 at the Gillot Road stop on the Hagley Road, on the 120 towards the City Centre asking for a £2.10 single as well.

@2206 I don't think E200MMC's are noteworthy on the 11 now since there has been one or two on almost if not everyday this week.

Looks like there might be a shortage of deckers,
one board that's had a E200 MMC nearly everyday this week is 11A/23 which comes out at 15:00, they come out in the peaks, I doubt they're supposed to be on there as a deckers are needed on the 11 because of the high loads.

If AG are short of deckers now, where will the ones for the 72 come from ?

For the PVR of the 72, for it to become decker operated, something would have to go Single Decker operated (only route I can see that happening on at AG is the 1), or deckers will come from elsewhere.
If they get more deckers from elsewhere, I wander whether it'll be B7TL deckers or a new type?

A driver today told me that Bordsley are getting some new buses for the 55 from Acocks Green

E200 MMC's probably. Only Single Decks at AG.

Are BY getting the E200 MMC, that would be good to see?
Then would allow PB to get the Omnilinks for the 96 and 71 (if its going to PB).

2204 is running along the 73 route this morning, marked Staff Bus, with a  number of drivers on board.

[Brummie45]

I'm not sure how true this is but I was told by a current 966 driver that the 58,73 and X12 are going on the same rota.

I would've thought 72 and 73 would go together
