I assume you mean a Scania Omnilink, which is on the 16 daily, because an Omnicity Single Decker would be rare...

808 on the 99E to Quinton Stag, how many mins late would that have been ?

808 on the 99E to Quinton Stag, how many mins late would that have been ?

Most 99s have 7 minutes layover time at Halesowen and with that route being so tightly timed, they would probably turn it if its running more than 10 minutes late.

Most 99s have 7 minutes layover time at Halesowen and with that route being so tightly timed, they would probably turn it if its running more than 10 minutes late.

It could be more like 20minutes late as AVL instructions (I'm told) is the service needs to be more then half of the frequency after leaving the outer. Therefore:

20minute delay - (7minute Stag to Halesowen, + 7 minute drop back + 7 minute Halesowen to Stag) = 1minute early back at the Stag to city

I saw a 46** trident on the 45E to Cotteridge today. The rear display alternated showing '45E' and the last bit of the word 'Cotteridge'.

You'll find it should show;

45E - Cot - ter - idge

Unlike Arriva, it doesn't scroll. Just changes per 'slide'

I don't understand what the point is, that would take a while to get back to the route number while showing separate parts of the destination. Wouldn't it be easier just toggling between the route number and destination, like WB, PE and WN LEDs used to? So it would read '45E' - 'C'ridge'
