The front destination display on 4615 was hardly legible on the 49 this afternoon- you could just about read the top half of the first line.

I think it was 6846 might have be mistaken however seen this one a few BC and PB 2016 MMCs, the back seats are very very loose at the lower deck at the back behind the engine. The seats are literally jumping forward.

This is happening on 6950 too. The 1st seat on the left

While on the X13 to Birmingham this afternoon, next stops were being announced as normal, however when actually stopping at a stop, it neither announced the current stop, nor did it follow with the route/destination announcement as would happen normally.

I believe this is programmed to link with the opening/closing of the doors, so unless this is now common to all BC buses, it would indicate a fault/defect with a sensor in the door mechanism.

E016
Boarded this from city centre this afternoon, it showed the correct route and destination (3 to Yardley Wood) on the interior displays, however no stops were being announced.
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

WA1835 has smaller black fleet numbers on the rear instead of the usual larger white numbers - passed on Green Lane earlier today.
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

1847
This morning had 1847 on the 4M, every now and again the door closest to the windscreen would play up the one door would close fully then about 5 seconds later the other one would eventually close. Nothing major but is will affect running times as will delay it at every single stop with issues like that. As will take longer for the door interlock to release.

6872's announcements play but the internal display is blank. Also looks like the GPS trigger for Wentworth Way is placed too early, meaning that the next stop is announced before the bus even gets to the Wentworth Way stop.
23 - Bartley Green
76 - Northfield
X20 - Birmingham Via Longbridge, Northfield & QE Hospital / University

Please follow the rules of this thread. The fact a bus has had a new steering wheel is not something that needs correcting

The Next Stop Announcement voices on all Coventry electrics cut off at any random point usually after their first trip this has been a recurring problem for over a year now.

Quote from: Sh4318 on August 15, 2023, 02:38:06 PM6873's rear display has now been taken out completely. It's on the 23/24s today

Also it's missing its tree deflector
6873 has had a rear destination display fitted, it's not working (single dot in left top corner), but it's there

6878's upper salon LCD screen is damaged
