Whats happened to 4625 @Tony? Off the road since October? At over 19 years old, will we see this one in service again?

Quote from: Stu on March 20, 2024, 07:25:35 PMSeems like a strange 'swap', unless there is some other reason for this, to do with 4722 being in a heritage livery?Something to do with 100 years of the 9? As they added 1924 - 2024 to the displays I think?
(Upcoming photo-shoot or private hire?)

Quote from: Steve3229vp on March 18, 2024, 07:40:17 PMThis is my point, I just think route branding's time has probably come and gone, if it was to continue I would suggest group branding egUnless any of the grey repaints E400 and MMC receive new branding maybe, which will still be in service for several years at least.
Quote from: JPC on March 17, 2024, 01:10:19 PMthe only exception to this is the NXCov Student ticket which I think only exists because Stagecoach has a similar product.It looks like this is why Coventry seem to have a cheaper monthly/termly pass as stagecoach seem to run this ticket
Quote from: Rachvince53 on March 16, 2024, 11:09:54 AMYou would need a Daysaver Extra. Normal daysaver (aka nBus) is not valid beyond the West Midlands boundary on the X51.The impression I got was that the N Bus is valid on all services including nx services over the boundary, but if you were to board the X13/891 in Coleshill or X51 in Cannock you'd be given a daysaver extra with them being out of the area?
Quote from: Tony on March 15, 2024, 03:15:04 PM4938 has been dead in BC garage for 8 days with an air leakIt must have been 4939 then that wasn't tracking at all on the 21:45 from the city centre on Tuesday night @Tony as it had black branding.
Quote from: Tony on March 12, 2024, 09:12:28 PMDefinitely not the way forward, have a look at any advert wrap and you will see it peeling or bits missing after a few months. Quality painting will last for 7-8 years. Both cost around the same4946 still carriers the red advert, although with reference to KFC removed from it.
Quote from: Steve3229vp on March 11, 2024, 04:24:16 PMI can't any other garage wanting themI'd guess these might be the last diesel double deckers to run from PB. Withdrawn late this year or early next year maybe.
Quote from: Rachvince53 on March 11, 2024, 05:38:53 PMNo. Its most likely connected to the Cotswold Vintage Bus Road Run on the 17th March in Bourton-on-the-Water.I'm sure that bus lives there permanently. It followed me from Cleobury area up to the Bewdley Bypass one day last autumn, when it was heading into Kidderminster.
