Of slight interest, 51 home from town was 4776, didn't pay attention to the fleetnumber when I got on but inside seemed different, had the high back seats but they were the dark blue with dots material not leather. Just searched on here and found out it was one of the tacho buses. Didn't expect to find it in normal service late in the evening

It was refurbed in standard moquette instead of leather last year sometime

244 is at Yardley Wood having front accident damaged repaired. Already had the front new moulding fitted when I saw it today. 4048 was next to it being repaired still

Hopefully X56 is re-routed back through Kingstanding then to Pheasey then normal line of route (:

Also watched a driver put his trip into the Wayfare an wondered how routes such as 934E/935A/X51/4H/4M are entered into the wayfare

Have no idea, except maybe when the route eg 4, is put in the machine, the driver is asked to select from 4, 4M,or 4H

With the changes been to the X51/6, It is probably a change of route in Birmingham City Centre

I don't see a problem with the current route of the X56. It gives a direct route to Birmingham for people living on Queslett Road between Scott Arms and Asda, and it helps the X51 with loadings at peak times, which is a lot more busier than the 934/5/6s

[Kevin]

Erm.... ok, worrying... guessing it's only a minor route change? Potentially moving the X51 and X56 back round Masshouse circus with all the other A34 buses?

You can push a button to get letters on the main screen then select, but all services are programmed in in numerical order, so, for example, when I do a 97A I prefer to type in 97 and the press the down key which scrolls down the full list of routes at that garage. 97A is one below 97 so only requires one key push that way to find the A

Not really seen the X56's that full yet, see the X51 carry heavier loads. its usualy the 17:40 journey I see which can get quite full the 2 shorts dont seem to carry a full load but at the same time its not empty.

[Kevin]

The full X56 (both am and pm) definitely do seem to be well loaded, the shorts quite the opposite

[Nathan4775]

What route is the X56 (18:25) trip from an what time does it get into town (:
