Do you have updated fleet list for Solo SR and Primo Disposals? for Igo?

Solo1

As a  guess the metrocity Solihull 89 service the solo sr on there moves to Wednesbury with the other new one to Wednesbury for 53 service

Doubt the MetroCitys are for the 89. Wouldn't think that would fill the Solo. People reckon 2 are due so like it has already been said, the 145 is the best bet for them

I have been told the Metrocity will initially be going on the 10/H...Eventually it'll end up on the 145. If it proves to be good, I'm told more will be following...

They're on the 96 and 99 again today.
So it looks like the 96 and 99 have had an upgrade.

Are they carrying any more passengers as a result? Whenever I've seen these services when I'm down in Acocks Green village, they're mostly empty, one or two passengers at most.  ;D
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

No, they're still only carrying 1 or 2 passengers.

Trident 4609

MPD KU52 RXR is working out if Wolverhampton depot today on the 57 (Wolverhampton to Bilston).

Westy

Must admit I was going to have a go at the northern section of the 57 earlier, so I ended up at Willenhall around 1115, having just come off a 326, waited for 25 mins, as a bus was due at 1121, which didnt show.

A Nx 25 arrived & this bloke got off & started chatting to me, mentioning that the same 57 bus hadnt arrived in Bilston earlier, which is why he was on the 25.(Apparantly some earlier journeys hadnt arrived either!)

I gave up & went in Wetherspoons for a curry, then went back to Walsall as I needed a new battery for my phone!

Trident 4609

Brand new addition to the fleet, Optare Solo SR YJ67 FYO is on the 326 (Bilston-Bloxwich) today.

Solo1

Any one seen yj67fyo to day thanks

Sandy Lane

I'm puzzled. On the 26 Coventry route today was GN09 KHP.
It has high floor narrow stepped side entrance with wheelchair tail lift at rear. More like a special needs bus. How the heck can this be put on the regular service?
I cant see the tail lift being used at bus stops to get the old and less able onto the bus if they cant climb the steps at the side?
