About half 2 I saw 4484 going up Moor St in town displaying "16E Church Lane Handsworth", maybe that's where it was going on it's way back out of town later I dunno but it's been a long time since I've seen that on a display.

Also, on me way home from the one stop about quarter to 8, 4737 pulled into Perry Barr bus station out of service, pulled up to the 51 stop and left in service as a 51, guessing it previously did an E working to Perry Barr, didn't see. Either way he must have been late cause he was hammering it up the Walsall road
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

4311 had a right bit of fun on the 126. Unfortunately I didn't have the times for this. It did a 126E to Dudley before running dead to Birmingham It then did a 126E to Dudley straight after then ran dead to Wolverhampton.

Noticed a 22E to California earlier.

Left work today, got to the Lichfield Road (Aston) about 17:40, checked me live bus times app and apparently the next bus was a 67 in 15 mins.... Worrying...

a few mins later, 4303 turned onto the Lichfield Rd from Cuckoo Road / star city direction, not in service. I assumed it was heading for the garage, see that a lot around about that time, but no it pulled up just short of the bus stop, driver got out checked around the bus, got back on, fiddled with the display control and pulled forwad displaying "67 city centre".
Empty bus into town!
Result!

Also, on the way, passed 6022 in a line of 3 67's displaying 67E Bagot Arms.

Something must have been up on that route this afternoon then!

I wonder if the roadworks at Spitfire have finally started. They were supposed to start on the 16th, but didn't
