I believe it was the same driver, Was quite friendly and welcoming to everyone who boarded at QE so didn't justify the abuse the youths gave him in Northfield!

these WB BV57s (specifically 4748) are sounding tired... it really sounded like it was struggling getting up the hill on Newton Road just before Scott Arms!

Everything struggles up that hill!

4748 was quite fast time I caught it.

Not 4739 when I saw it flying down the A38 dual carriageway in Rubery on the 20 on Thursday.

People on the 80 can be the worst, some guy was begging the driver to let him on , after the driver refused his partner started using the emergency doors after the driver said it was too late to get off.

@twm1990s as these ex-PB buses will all eventually be debranded, I don't think you need to let everyone know once they are.

I noticed last week that Monday to Friday, there's 1 decker a day on the 89 (today there were 2, in the form of 4485 and 6807)

Is this to meet passenger demand?

it could be 87s being delayed that deckers being allocated to the 89 to take some load off as many folks that get off red cow/bluegates live in and around in the uplands area which the 89 covers
