What's 2213 doing at Yardley Wood?

[MW]

What's 2213 doing at Yardley Wood?

MOT maybe? YW do AG MOTs, they also did CVs MOTs. I'm not sure if that's still the case.

Not sure what the rules and regs are with buses though, as cars don't need to be MOTd until after 3 years old. Maybe Tony can confirm.

"Lorries and buses (including coaches) must be tested each year. The first test should be 12 months after the vehicle was first registered with DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency)."

2220 is an Acocks Green bus, the X12 is an Acocks Green route, so it's not away from its home garage?

It's route branded off route! He should've posted this in there.

There is a photo of it at PCS (Paul Clark) on their website, it is on the photo reel on the main page and looks to have had the mirror edited green for some reason. http://www.paulclarkservices.co.uk/
