Good to know, Nathan. Thanks.

Now, I don't know if it was just waiting time but there was a 002 branded Centro with hazards on near Weoley Castle Square this afternoon. Maybe a Diamond nut can shed some light on it.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

The whole of Birmingham City Centre flowed OK today all the time I was watching from 11 am to 6pm

For a change. Wait a couple of weeks and it'll be normal service resumed.

It sounds like their were radio issues earlier? And got speaking to a Great Park driver and he was saying a lot of the services were early!! Looks like the corridors were flowing nicely.

While travelling on 4442 on 63 this evening got clipped by a passing car when pulling up for a bus stop just north of Selly Oak. Caught next bus that came along as Bus Driver was still taking motorists details.

Minor scrape on offside rear of bus, it was dark , so couldn't see the nearside of the car which stopped after passing bus. Only realised what happened when Bus Driver got out of his cab and announced to everyone he was going to get the motorists details.

There is about 5 mins layover so I'd imagine he was actually on time
