I got out bed, half asleep
On Monday at 7am boarded S stock District line train and was immediately wide awake.
Today at 7am boarded 6703 and only fully woke up when the bus didn't go via Small Heath by pass without warning!

What difference does it make??? It doesn't stop along Small Heath bypass anyway... ::)

The point was about the differance the interior can make to ones state of mind. I wonder how much anti social behaviour on NX buses is caused by drabness of their vehicles!

Idiots are only idiots because of the interior decor?
What a pathetic criticism

Any more x10 buses spotted yet @Nathan

I know the frequencies, route maps and via points are often wrong on the NX site, but it's a bit poor that the frequencies are wrong on a brand new service:

This further emphasises my thoughts on their marketing department pmsl. "Cringe" indeed.

Platinum gets the X factor, bi cringey isnt it!?

The fact that they don't appear to proof read any of their articles before publishing them is most certainly cringeworthy.

I would blame a placement student. The timetable part on the X61 timetable ; states x62 above it. Also where is the explanation of the extension to the Eastside. I'm assuming they rushed it through and will finish it tomorrow. You would think anyway.

It was this error strewn sentence that caught my eye:
"In addition to some existing services are changing numbers, we are also introducing a brand new Platinum buses for our Bristol Road customers"

My attention to detail is not great, so needed it pointing out. That is really quite bad though. They have time to redeem ;)

It would have made sense if they'd finished the sentence with 'innit bro'.  8)
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

I think the X10 should have a Black Country accent doing the stop then the brummys still wouldn't have a clue what we're saying
