Ooooooh!!! 63E I an only expect it'll either be to Northfield or Longbridge Island.

Its not the vehicles that are important really. Cheap buses bright livery and day returns and they should be ok. Though lots of ppl have nx passes on the br routes so the 50p ticket strategy would be a good one. Surprised theyre not goingffor yhe 97 though as the fact diamond lasted longer on there than the br should show it is more profitable. To be fair the br at one time had a lot more first buses diamond on two routes and then travel express plus thandi companies of which all seemed to do quite well. Looking forward to seeing them though!!
