Central Buses currently have a new Optare Versa en route for the fleet. Two others are also being temporary stored at their Perry Barr Garage.

YJ57 XWD, XWG and XWF are the Versa's that have arrived. I'm told Central Buses are only keeping one. However I'm not sure which one.

YX64VLZ is out on the S1

Also spotted on the 108 this evening (3rd departure), judging by the timetable I think this bus would also do the first evening 108 run

Central Buses have kept Versa YJ57 XWG to become part of the fleet. The other two Versa's (XWD and XWF) that were being temporarily stored in the yard has now moved to Centrebus in Leicester.

From what I can see they seem to be doggedly and efficiently getting on with the job.
No one is giving in on the Lichfield competition although my wife was on the Central the other week and the driver evidently stopped and gave a short speech to his passengers against something or other that Arriva had done.
They have cornered the Kingsbury market.
Surely no one can be making anything on the 4 at the moment as it has too many buses.
Their 3B seems to catch many of the passengers from what I have seen recently while taking photos of the varied buses that Arriva put on (or not) .
Having been brought up in the North East in an era of very strict regulation, I don't like to see predatory competition but Central seem to run on time, have decent buses and look the part.
Only Guy Arabs (a choice of 63) stopped at my front door 1957-1964!

Central Buses Optare Solo YJ59 PKC is currently VOR due to major accident damage incurred following the incident in West Bromwich yesterday. They will be getting Enviro 200 YX11 CTZ on hire temporarily to replace it. This should be arriving tomorrow. Credit to Central Buses for the information.

Constantly early from what i see. Loadings very hit and miss. Only concessionary pass holders use it i think

If you can provide us with details supporting early operation of service, we will investigate this.
