They could have at least covered the front 2 top parts

What are you on about again?

I cannot see any missing bits

Guessing he means the upper front panels behind the tree defenders. Presuming they leave that red as it's the front and not the side of the bus.

There's no point in doing the front of the bus, as there is no space to advertise anything, making it a waste of time and money to paint it.  People view the advert from the side, so it doesn't matter wether the front is done or not.

Caught 6145 on the 11C  this morning at about 07:50, which got very busy and overcrowded. Could do with a duplicate I think. Or run the duplicate as a morning 11S as I was surprised in September when the timetable was first published that it only runs in the afternoon, as running it in the morning would give some extra capacity I would have thought.
Also it wasn't tracking on the bus stop and was only showing the timetabled departure time for some reason.

Could even run a duplicate or 11S off the 32 board as that doesn't start till 9AM I think.

1829 is a Perry Barr bus

It is been used for driver training/assessments as I saw it in Birmingham. Bus Times shows it as doing a loop of Shard End and Chelmsley Wood and back to garage via the Collector Road

Looks mostly like the 55 route from City Centre to the big Island by Forth Drive. Only difference is the tracking shows it as going right onto Longmeadow Crescent instead of Hurst Lane, WMN says that being due to a diversion on the 55 route today.

You get some really weird people on the 11. One old woman goes about rummging in the bins and then brings her bags of rubbish on the bus. She's wearing duct tape and elastic bands on her boots (which have clearly broken and she's tried to repair them. I'm told she's been wearing the same outfit for years and regularly seen rummaging through bins/picking up rubbish in the Stechford area.
Really weird - I expect she must have some sort of mental health problem.

She's clearly one of their passengers. I'm surprised she's allowed to bring rubbish out the bins on the bus to be honest. As it's spreading germs.

I am usually on 11. I do see a lot of mess sometimes but not always

6125 was in service at Ward End on the 11C at about 15:00 being driven with a smashed wing mirror.
Also running 30 minutes late.
Never seen a bus being driven in service like that with a smashed mirror before.

One in front 4658, went straight past the bus stop displaying not in service. But it was tracking on the bus stop as an 11C for some reason and then seemed to be picking up passengers at the next stop, which is weird.

Heard and seen a lot of Acocks greens buses either broken or have problems. I wonder whats happening with them
