Quote from: Squiz1971 on January 26, 2024, 07:27:42 PMOne I have seen on the 8A/C is 1951, the rear display seems to be squashed over to the left on the screen. Noticed it last week on either the 8A or 8C on my way to work by Saltley Gate
There was a 96 like this that I saw this evening making its way onto Lanchester Way. I didn't see which number it was. It was about 17:15.

Riding E052 today it correctly pronounced '17 to Fenside' throughout the journey however upon approaching the terminus stop 'Fenside Avenue' it was spelt correctly on screen but incorrectly pronounced as Fernside Avenue.  (Probably unrelated but a Centro map many years ago spelt it 'Fernside Avenue'.)
Also when we paused at Fenside we hear an end of journey announcement which is technically correct but it is common knowledge that passengers can travel through this terminus, for example if a passenger travelling on a 17 wishes to reach a stop on the 17A spur or vice versa, there was two others who travelled through on my journey today.  I do apologise if this sounds like I'm nitpicking  :cheesy:

2233. Seems to be making a lovely squeaking noise when the bus starts to accelerate 

Sh4318

1951's rear LEDs is showing rubbish and only the left side of the display is working
The near side grille (close to the rear of the vehicle) has some gaps on 6831 and 6839
6869's bottom deck announcements aren't working, and are stuck on (paraphrasing)
"this is the final destination, all change"
"thank you for travelling with National Express West Midlands"
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A

I reckon 1887 has an air leak. There's definitely something wrong with it

If it had an air leak the driver would not be driving it.

All buses release excess air, some differently to others.

Not so much an Oddity but 4595 out of the 459×'s at WN it has an odd reg the others begin BX54 this one is BU04 it seems odd when 4594 and 4596 are BX54. The BU04's are at YW and I think 4593 was a BX54 but I may be wrong

Please can we keep this to what it was intended for:-

Things wrong with buses that the driver will not necessarily report.
Livery mismatches, faulty destination displays, NSAs and mismatched seats

The rattling is quite bad inside downstairs at the back of 4651 when the engine is idling.
