Should of reported it to the driver to get it sorted. Worse when your driving and get soaked from above you normally all over the steering wheel

WB thanks for your advice.....

   YES I did report it to the driver, (A Stocky guy in his late forties poss. with short ginger hair).. as I got off the service from Sutton around 5pm.  TBH it was not until I saw the dolphin that I realised there might be a problem :)...seriously,. I would have considered changing my seat as I'm sure there would have been at least one seat free from crisp packets, drinks cans, chewing gum or chip papers but  couldn't be asked...
Mind the Gap.....?:-)

I noticed today that 4234 doesn't have the vents at the back unlike all the other B7TL ALX400's at NXWM. Does anyone know why?

Just the way it was repaired after it was deroofed on Witton Lodge Road on the 7. None of the 10 Coventry examples have them either

I didn't know it was the one involved in that incident! I know the NXC ones don't have them.

@Michael Bevan Your signature is wrong. It's Bilston then Moxley. (I know it's off topic but just making him aware)

I remember first time seeing a B7TL/ALX400 on the 87 a long time ago, I saw the infamous B7TL block steering wheel and I thought it was was shoddy fix on a Trident !

It's not really, it's quite refreshing to see a different type of bus on the 5 every time I visit West Bromwich
