A modern electronic departures board keeps intending passengers up to date.
The identification of the operator requires a bit of explaining. ARR is obviously Arriva, CEB is Central Buses whilst the two letter codes refer to the NXWM garage that operates this particular route. The list of all NXWM garage codes are, AG Acocks Green, BC Birmingham Central, BY Bordesley Green, CV Coventry, PB Perry Barr, PE Pensnett, WA Walsall, WB West Bromwich, WN Wolverhampton, YW Yardley Wood and XS which is for buses that are stored.
I always tend to think of the big fleets (such as NXWM) as being highly standardised but within a very short space of time, I was presented with 5 different double decker types to photograph. As will also be seen, they come in a wide variety of colour schemes which are variations on the red, white and blue theme.
