4446 - 61E Northfeild

That seems to happen very regually with buses going out of service in Northfield.

The other week 4364 came into Northfield (Bound for Birmingham) Not In Service the changed to a 63 as it reached the bus stop

As you said that's a regular peak time adjustment. Still good to note though.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Icy...

The only thing I can think of is Priory Road and Belgrave Middleway have been roadworked so thus causing lateness.

47E Stirchley Co-Op,

After asking the driver he says 'AVL adjustment; I'm over 1.5hours down'

After going to city, I find why. Gridlocked. Its half 4 in the afternoon and bedlam!

Although I know for a fact turning at Co-op he'll still be late as that wouldn't save 1.5hours.

Spotted 60E terminating at Yardley Swan Centre coming from Cranes Park. Possible contender for the shortest journey done on NX bus?

Nope, 400 from west brom to Sandwell Valley for any shows going on there surely wins that

When Lea Hall operated the 97 I used to see quite a few journeys operating just from Chelmsley Wood to the Mackadown. Also think I saw a 14 from Tile Cross to Lea Hall garage back in the day.

Although timetabled, back in 2006/7, there used to be an early morning 14E from City to Lea Hall Garage. I wonder if this is now what is the short to Tile Cross run by Enviro 200s sometimes.

Once, one evening, whilst waiting in Solihull Town Centre, I saw a 37E to Olton Station.  ::)

2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
