(I'm guessing I can do this here). This isn't rare, in fact the only rare decker you'll find on the 82/87 is a Plaxton President

You can. I missed deleting it off here, Tara, you are seriously starting to get irritating multiple posting non-news. I deleted it from the unusual workings page

Is there any news on 758?
Was very badly damaged in an accident, just wondered if it was being repaired or is it one of the first new buses to go? :(

Super X displays have finally made their way onto WB buses

Super X displays have finally made their way onto WB buses

I've been on 4955, on the 87 with Super-X. I'd like to see it on the Dudley Road Volvos, but I'm sure they'd get there soon. The '82' display definitely needs updating. The alternating displays aren't consistent. On one slide, you see 'Bearwood' in 8pt font, in the next it's in 9pt font. Same for the via points. 8pt font, then 7pt font.

Most of the Dudley Rd buses I saw yesterday had scrolling destionations

On another note I see the AG1 now shows Broad St, Five Ways Island opposed to Sheepcote Street.

I notice on some destinations, there is quite a few via points whereas on others, BC58 for example just shows 'via Coventry Road' where it could list Small Heath, Yardley & Lyndon/Wells Green

There were 2 B7TLs on the Soho Rd today, and their Dudley/Wednesbury destinations are now then same as the Enviro400s on the front, with the destination in large with no via points on the front display

Super X might actually be winning me over, dare I say the scrolling displays look good on the '06 Geminis.

Hopefully I can catch a glimpse of a President with Super X

I wish the Enviros would have the same displays on the 82/87 as they do on the 74/75

Two of the 5 branded Presidents have Super-X's now, 4085 and another that i saw yesterday in West Brom

That's sheer LED sacrilege!! It all should be either one or the other... I hate inconsistencies as you've described.

[the trainbasher]

That's why I'm in favour of superx with scrolling...

Very upset that no one noticed todays historic journey, that is set to become a new novelty working.

The 0800 6E Walsall - Aldridge is operated by WB garage, before later running on the (WB)40 & evening 5 service.

Todays vehicle was Merc 1699 - not sure if this will more commonly be an Enviro200 though!

No idea what the Merc displayed on its destination blind, but pretty sure this is the first WB service to depart from the main bus station in Walsall.
