Why the actual 100 was displayed i dont know, maybe a prank. Some staff put there own "call" signs up such as a Diagnostic technician who puts up 21 spinkhill as he lives out that way or a cleaner who puts up 94 birley as its his name. There was also someone who kept putting X78 doncaster up, god knows why. 94 Birley..what a funny name!!! I know of a 63 Birley -- any relation?

I saw 34055 on the 52, yesterday afternoon while going up to my mom's.

I think I saw one of TM's ex-Cardif Excels in Dronny on the 293 this morning - looked very nice in all-over white, tho no fleetnames and the flip-dot (?) display wasn't working (said 293 on paper in the windscreen).
I say I think it was on the 293 because I followed it from Hilltop to the Civic Centre running either 15 mins early or 15 mins late. Then the next one due in the Civic Centre at 10:40ish didn't come, arriving around 10:55 on its way back to Sheffield - having normally been through the Civic Centre and looped around Hilltop. And all this whilst waiting for my mum to finish nattering!!!

[TML] Another Centro on the FreeBee today (YN08JWC) with YN57KFE still amiss. The 'Bee was getting good loadings too, although I'm not sure if you're supposed to get 3 buggies on a Solo. For anyone following the loss of the TM Travel Vario, R669LFV was still out on the 214.
[FSY] 81/2 branded Y946CSF was on the 84, although earlier it had been an MV02 B7L. Orange branded YN53EFO escaped out to Bakewell on the 240.
Finally, someone's taken away a bus shelter on Ecclesall Road and instead strapped a stop to a lamp post (in the new style) which has "Stripe Lane/Bawtry Road" crossed out and "Temporary Stop" written underneath it! I was half tempted to text the YNB number on it...

Stripe Lane at Bawtry Road is at Parrots Corner, near Rosso. I think one of the stops was changed recently. Temporary signs on the cheap!

There was a First bus in All Saints Square at dinner time today. It had the number 37486 and the seats etc were all covered up so I'm guessing it was brand new. Anyone know what it might have been doing there? From the people I saw round it I can only assume they were showing off.
Also, there was an ALX400 parked in Rotherham interchange today which said X78 Doncaster on it.

What on earth would a Sheffield vehicle be doing in All Saints Square in Rotherham and how would they have got into the Square seen as all it is now is larger open cafes and fountains with a very large BIG TV!
Not seen the ALX400 today on the X78, so will keep my eye peeking out onto the X78 route tonight.
For today just Stagecoach Rotherham N106 CET on the 109, spotted in Eastwood at 17:12.

Well, it wasn't actually in the square, but behind the big screen.
It had Wrightbus on the front, side and W on the rear LED displays.
I'm not sure whether that the ALX400 was actually doing the X78 route as it was just parked.

Ah so it was on the Road near to Gamestation, but still what would a Olive Grove vehicle be doing in Rotherham, unless of course Rotherham are to receive 21 new Wright Eclipse Volvo B9TL Geminis for the X78 again and swap the current Rotherham Vehicles which could go on the Olive Line in Sheffield ;D Sounds a little what Tom was saying, with First advertising the 205 service with a Olive Grove B7L!

The MAN Centro on the FreeBee was on the board that goes on to do a 3, by the way.
