I'm on 4649, and on the front the vehicle, above headlights (on the door side), the bodywork is dented a bit.

One of the wb 63 plate e400s is missing both drivers side and rear fleet number and 2 126 buses are missing branding at the rear, ones of 6786 I think is missing lower window branding and another missing it top 126 branding at the rear will get the fleet number

Caught this on the X2 this evening, still not tracking - showed as a timetabled departure from Bordesley station at 18:14, arrived at 18:17 just as I'd got to the stop.

I have reported it. Traffilog seem to be having difficulty with that one for some reason

Trident 4194

Is the tracking system the priority for NX? For example does a bus not having tracking have priority over a bus that is missing some branding? Or are the two sections completely independent?

As a passenger, I'm more concerned with knowing how long I have to wait for a bus, rather than if its missing a bit of branding. So I'd say its more of a priority.

Tracking is more important of the two.

I check the complete fleet once a week, the aim is for every journey to show on real time. Over 95% do normally and improving

Was on 6834 this morning on the X2, it was very noisy inside! The cabin ventilation fans sounded like they were running at full speed, only cutting out when the engine turned off (stop-start). Even so, when the cabin fans weren't running, it still sounded downstairs like being next to an overloaded refrigerator.
