Thanks for the info. A quick download of the cctv will have him bang to rights.

A claribels 94 was on Bromford Lane this afternoon with passengers on going towards Chelmsley Wood at about 16:30 - 17:00.
Does anyone know what it was doing as all other buses (both Claribels and NX) were using the normal line of route at that time

YJ55KZX was on Shirley Road in Acocks Green at 08:50 today with 71 on the destination display. Does anyone know what it was doing?

Definitely was a commander repainted with an LED with 71 on the destination display in Acocks Green on Shirley Road at 08:50 today.
Maybe YJ56JXX then, unless there are any others?

Yeah was jxx on a contract run. Then called in to replace fdv which suffered a breakdown

Yes also seen on Cov Road showing destination T1 Claribels only noticed because the destination was so bright in the gloom!

YJ56JXX was on the 55 today.

looks like Claribels have realised tender work is quite a good little income

The Chelmsley Wood MEB lives on it seems!

It is when some of the drivers just drive by the stops when you've got your arm out for them!

That's sad news. I'm glad that I only have to catch one bus late afternoon on a Saturday. There's going to be quite a lot of extra people to squeeze on NX now.
Unless Saturday loadings are that low?

The changes are required to cover for the tendered duties.
