Has anybody noticed the destination displays on a couple of the PE E400s is very poor, saw 4817 & 4819 today and you could hardly see the details, yet others look fine.

There is a 'night' setting and a 'day' setting on the LEDs which a sensor is supposed to select automatically, but a few sit on the night setting during the day making them hard to read

Thanks Tony, never knew that!

Me neither. One of BC's E400Hs also has this issue.

I have seen some of AG's Presidents on the 73 like that aswell
60 Birmingham - Cranes Park
72/72A Solihull Station - Chelmsley Wood
73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

Liverpool Street

Indeed. I think it was 5404, iirc. 

Its like the automatic screen brightness on mobile phones and satnavs when use in a motor vehicle.

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.

2079 has been on the 276

Interesting, when i was at the garage 2079 was parked next to 1743 which was being got ready for service, wondering if they took 2079 instead.

1743 went onto the 297.

4810 has the worst LEDs at PN, 4817, 4819 and 4823's also can be difficult to read.

4193 has appeared on the 9 this evening, think it was the only Trident not on the 246 when I did the full 246 earlier. Wonder if that was the one being worked on in the garage.

Also, the 140/241 is being thrown into chaos lately; Kent Road partially or fully closing when it feels like has caused drivers to make U-turns and invent their own diversions - saw something I've never seen before earlier, a Gemini going down Mucklow Hill! On top of that, there is a 4-way control halfway between Dudley and Blackheath, another 3-way control on Shell Corner in Blackheath, and most mornings lately, a manually operated 4-way control at the Royal Oak island on the 241's route, which on its own caused a 15 minute delay the other day.

276 back to normal now in time for the morning as Thorns Road has now reopened following the absolutely horrific incident of a pedestrian being killed following a collision with a lorry. http://www.stourbridgenews.co.uk/news/10623988.Man_dies_after_Quarry_Bank_lorry_crash/

Do we know if any Mercs are due for withdrawl at PE.

Just wondered as three Mercs, have been parked at the back of the garage, two of them have nothing on there blinds. Can't see if they have ticket machines or not. Maybe nothing, but they have been parked well away from the other buses.

Off the top of my head, the buses were, 1553, 1549 & 1541
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I'm sure 1549 was on the 276 this morning

Interesting, as i said maybe nothing, it was just that the 3 Mercs were parked out of the way of all the other buses.

824 is on the 276

Do some PE Mercs not have Hasbury on their top blind.

Saw 1525 today going up to Hasbury from Halesowen with Halesowen on the blind.
