4235; 4261 & 4268 were the three on there. 4248 just covered one trip. 4235 was allocated from garage and did the whole board, was not a swap

Oh okay, like I said, though I may have been wrong. Was 4235 swapped on this morning then?

4706's last journey as a West Bromwich bus will be the 20:43 82 from the Square Peg to Bearwood. It is going to the paintshop tomorrow for a coat of green.

4710 can run until Wednesday, not sure if it will

4101 now has the circular headlights

Could I ask why the Presidents' original rectangular headlights are being replaced by the circular headlights?

I remember asking this question a while back and it was mentioned that it is cheaper and I think easier due to them already possessing the lights for Tridents and so on.

The reason for the circular lights are because the standard ones are long to change whereas the circular ones are relatively quick and easier. According to an engineer this is the case anyway.

They are also easier to set accurately for MoT
