The 966 is quite an interesting route - quite long but lots of turns - same with the 71 and 72. Think someone who drove for AG once described the 966 as "if you see a turn, take it!" This was it http://wmbusphotos.com/forum/index.php?topic=1596.msg35509#msg35509

I'd have to disagree with his view one Warwick rota, I find it boring on the 37 2 days in a row, it's just a straight road pretty much.

A lot of drivers say the Moseley rota is the best in the garage. I wouldn't know.

He also doesn't seem to like the Widney road. He's right about the 11 though! 11C is definately busier both passenger and traffic wise.

I agree the 11C is definitely busier passenger wise you can have bout 3 buses turn up at the Yew Tree in the morning and they will all leave with standing loads and overcrowded full of school childeren. @MW not sure if you have ever driven one that gets to the Yew Tree at about 8AM.

@2206 @MW - Can you continue your conversation in the AG thread & get this back on topic, Winston

Is the ticket branding on the Enviro400s ever going to get finished?

4951/2/3/4 are still running around with only the rear branding and the front window done

4955 has branding, £8 group daysaver: http://wmbusphotos.com/NXWM/4700-4879/4955.html
It's 4952 the one you missed off that also hasn't had its branding completed.

Couldn't tell for certain, but 758 has been finally been named. Didn't see what it was exactly, but having looked at the main site it should be named Carla.

Pause for thought for the unlucky ones who got the E200 for their duty.
