Service Changes August 29th 2021.

[DJ]

It doesn't make any difference how many changes there are to make, as long as there's one somebody still has to physically plug either a big box, or on the newer destinations a USB stick into every bus in the garage, and when garages have up to 200 buses that is a massive task

A big box? Do NX not use Keylos for the older ones?

Got both

Still quite a few 55s knocking around THREE days into the changes the T.C would find that unacceptable

Just put 'Service Extra' as BCT used to do when a bus couldn't show the right destination!

These new route numbers were registered weeks ago, there is no excuse for this at all.

It's almost Tesco on promotion change over day, not changing pricing as didn't have the resources to changes 10k price changes. This must be some sort of exceptional service or someone needs a dressing down. Hope the drivers aren't getting to much grief.

X21 isn't much better. I saw 4 of them going the other way this morning and three of them still said Woodcock Hill.

There's been some confusion in the Bartley Green groups as to where it stops on Adam's Hill too.

41 In service but I'm pretty sure the 41 can have double deckers since the 36 had them. And if formans Road is closed, 36 still was double decker when it took redding lane then shaftmoor lane.

Why? Displaying "serivce extra" instead of "55" would be even worse surely. Then you wouldn't know if its a X12, 14, 94, 95 or what route its on.  (At least 55 and 95 are the same route.)
When 4797 was on the X21 some time ago now, it caused a lot of confusion with its blank destination display.

Couldn't agree more. Sloppy, embaressing and confusing.

Couldn't put service extra up anyway as that would need to be programmed into the blinds

No thank you, we need to keep double deckers for routes that really need them

Deckers can go on 41.

Problem is the CAZ.  Volvos are limited as to what services they can run on
