Quote from: Dababa015 on Today at 06:54:23 AMIs it possible to have regular optare solos on the A15 route or is it just too much of a hassle, i know we already get frequently solo srs but theres just something I like about regular optare solos
The A15 is ran from Redditch depot not Tividale.
20885 is based at Redditch and according to gov.uk euro 6 and CAZ compliant. But thats the only one they seem to have.
According to bus times it spend most of its time on the 62.

Quote from: Rachvince53 on Today at 11:18:03 AMDepends upon the terms of the contract. Some (such as Diamond's 25 in Stourbridge)  specifically state what type or size of vehicle can be used.
I don't know of any contracts that specify the type of vehicle, only the seating capacity and the euro rating.

According to TfWM upcoming bus service changes the Coventry SC 60 will no longer call at the Jaguar plant from 06 April.

It's is good to see TfWM covering Coventry changes although so far not found this mentioned on the SC service changes site?

Quote from: B7RLE on Yesterday at 08:16:06 PME400s are a normal allocation for the PN 7, they appear everyday and have done since the start of the 2023 when PN got the route back, meanwhile E200s are quite rare on it
E200 are not rare they come off the 2 running boards on late night and do the 7 and 2
