AVL must have been busy today as I noticed a couple:

6E from City to Solihull Town (never seen this one on a 6 before)

My locals:

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.

This on as well on the 8C, 1802 came right behind the 8C in front of it, so it was 20 minutes late

At the Jewellery Quarter, if I see 2 8C's bunched up together, you'd best believe an 8E will follow, and on some occasions two! with the first one to Saltley & the second one to Hockley, Hunters Road, which i guess is slightly uncommon...

Lately, i have seen quite a few 246Es to Russells Hall Hospital, unusual as in the past you would rarely get a 246E. and then it would be to Brierley Hill.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Is this from Dudley or Stourbridge?

The one i saw was coming from Stourbridge Matt.

probably a few 276Es due to the closure of Thorns Road (and massive delays this afternoon because of it!)

Saw a few 246E's from Stourbridge to Russells Hall in the 6 weeks Holidays because of delays due to roadworks i think

Think Russells Hall is the choice to turn the 246s short now, Brierley Hill can be a pain especially in the rush hour.

Am surprised there are no 246Es to Russells Hall timetabled, would be easier for the buses to run to garage from there and would cut down on dead mileage.

saw a 55E to Saltley in town on me way home earlier, was 1836 and hazarding a guess it was just going back to the garage
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Think that is the first time a 60 has terminated at Wagon Lane because I think its usually The Wheatsheaf they terminate if they're late but I could be wrong

My Mom has just told me the 60 used to turn round at Wagon Lane in its early days but not since then so I think you've witnessed the first one in a long while :)
60 Birmingham - Cranes Park
72/72A Solihull Station - Chelmsley Wood
73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood
