Tony mentioned on Facebook that it's common for buses to get panels replaced like that before going into repaints, you can tell that it's been done on the B7RLEs by comparing one from before and after a repaint, as the original livery version would've had a ridge on the side panels, whereas the new panels are flat. 2102 is one of them, it's gained flat side panels at the same time as it's 'new' heritage livery.

After these new deliveries, will WB be the only garage to not have any platinums? (Bar Bordesley). In fact they don't even have any MMCs at the moment?

But WB do have quite of lot of 13/14 plate E400's (57) + then 25 x 57 plate E400's.

Yes to WB & Platinum's

Not quite. The letter is a bit smaller and at the top of the number rather than the bottom. I suppose there will be a pic of it taken before too long

Eww! No. 4924 & 4925 have the new displays, to be honest, it doesn't look too bad on the 80. I don't like the new displays on the 80A at all, just looks squashed, font is too thick and narrow

Does anyone know more details about the inter working between the 49 & 89?

Is it just one bus an hour? The 89 is every 30 mins and the 49 is every 20. So it can't be very journey that interworks?

They're both standalone

Noticed 4253 on 12A/13 even though it doesn't have a trap fitted.

I see. When did they stop interworking?

I don't remember them ever interworking

UID ticket-branded E200 on the 74.

Just entered Birmingham

@CL aren't E200s used on the overnight 74Es? Correct me if I'm wrong

Last time I caught it it was, and rather full at that

Correct. The overnight bus is meant to be an Enviro 200.
