well it looked like Z4004 i take your word for it you should know, its the first Zenobe ive seen
granted i was late getting to the studio so may not have been as observant as i thought, im not disputing it, obviously although it was Z400 we do not know the actual identity, but in that state, it cant be hard for you to confirm which one it was

E233 is in Solihull currently not in service. I don't know if anyone is able to add it on bus times or it's not ready yet

Tony · October 15, 2024, 05:42:52 PM

E281 has gone to Perry Barr today that's 112 there now.

One does not simply "add a bus to BusTimes".

QuoteThis is not a fleet list. It's a list of National Express West Midlands ticket machines, created as a by-product of the live bus tracking system.

When buses are first used in service - and if the tracking equipment is working - then they'll appear on BusTimes. And then everyone can race to update the details, and argue and bicker over reg numbers and livery names.

I can see that's the case on bus times anyway

Would I be correct in assuming that E280-E284 have been diverted to PB from YW as was initially planned?

Will they be returned to YW when the other PB vehicles are ready for service? (noting E181 will be somewhat later).

E235 seen on the 60

BC are not using any on normal service

I was thinking about that the other day. Has an electric bus been on a service that has been to Chelmsley Wood yet? I don't recall seeing one.
