AG running a Sutton school service didn't see the number but saw Rougley on the fest blind 848 I think it said on positioning journey at spitfire island that's a lot of dead mileage, I'm assuming goes on the 11 after

4304 operated a 11E to Ward End on the 11A this afternoon, two passengers were still on the top deck as it pulled away Out Of Service, as it turned round and started going back towards Acocks Green one of them looked a bit confused.

That reminds me... slightly unrelated but I saw a streetdeck yesterday on the 9E which then goes NIS from Halesowen in the morning. Passengers remained on this bus when it departed Halesowen NIS. What happens to these passengers??

Are you sure?
If it was at Spitfire Island going towards Roughley then that doesn't sound like its a NX bus and it sounds like it's the TGB 843.
TGB 843 - King Edwards Handsworth - King Edwards Aston - Ward End - Bromford - Spitfire Island, Castle Vale - Walmley - Roughley.
I can't find any NX 848 route or NX school route that goes to Roughley.
It sounds like a President still in NX Red and White on the 843?

4501 is on the X12. I've seen quite a few E400 MMC, including 6705 though.

The X12 has a Gemini in it everyday.

Noticed today when 6704 was on the 37 towards Birmingham, the rear display showed the list of stops in the wrong order! It showed Olton, Acocks Green, Sparkbrook THEN Tyseley! The front LED was correct though.

I actually saw 6706 doing the same! Must be a programming error on the Platties.
