That's understandable to be honest, so many spammers.

@Ingleboro261F I don't know why you posted that in the 'Vehicles Away From Home Garage".

Split and moved into the BusTimes general topic.

The Changes aren't silly when children are hacking or pretending to be drivers here to say that some NX's plattys are open Top. When rubbish like that is posted editing Tony's updates and other NX Drivers or staff updates. Then only Tony and other NX staff should be allowed to edit it makes sense they know more than most of us. I wouldn't have known for example 4696 was on loan until I've seen it here from Tony himself. Or until we see the Veichle ourselves

There does need to be some open top buses though, to show the sites of Birmingham and the Black Country (sorry Sandy Lane, Coventry is getting ignored again).

OBC have even got electric open top buses in use in Oxford, although I've only ever seen them when it has been pissing it down.

Its OK, we are used to this situation!
Perhaps if open tops ever come about, Coventry could borrow one to show the TfWM people where we are?

What would you show you from an open top that couldn't be done from an old disused Euro 6 Double Decker

Well the Glasgow open toppers attract a good crowd and bring enough in to support 9 brand new electric open toppers, and Glasgow has never been known as the biggest tourist attraction city in Scotland.

Here's a photo I took last week of one almost full

Either there's a problem with Bustimes, as only one out of 3 326's is showing, or there's been 2 breakdowns today

I've noticed this on other services and that quite a few vehicles stuck in the same position on the map for between 5 and 15 minutes at a time before updating

Well luckily, the bus I want, is the one still tracking!

The fabulous delights of Birmingham/Black Country, with the opportunity of getting soaked in the process! The diesel particle filter regenerator does get a bit stinky so it'd need to be electric.

National Express West Midlands 11C Outer Circle has suddenly been removed from bus org
Only the 11A Outer Circle tracks on the 11A to Walsall and Dudley

But it the Walsall 11A suddenly has 27 buses running on it, even if 21 seem to have strayed into Birmingham!

Word of warning today a load of pn buses ticket machines might not be tracking properly as they have to be programmed manually
