I don't know, I hope they don't go up to redditch though, in my opinion they are getting all the nice buses

Redditch cast off's?! You could say the same about the e300's being CT Plus/Yourbus cast off's!!

The b7rle's are in fantastic condition inside and when repanelled and painted with old interior notices taken off the 1/2 that still have them, they'll pass as new buses.

E300's are mostly older and it would make sense to standardise them at one depot...

The Redditch cast offs as you put it are 5-6 years younger than the incoming E300's & Tividale doesn't/has never operated the type. So it would be daft putting 30488-490 in there.

The ex midland b7rles are miles better. They lack any character, all the same, and 30813, not the best bus, very slow

The value branded are pretty good, but they get dirty easily.

The Royales are by far the best buses at te.

Am I correct in thinking kidderminster getting mans?

There's still the 2 x 10 plate B7RLE/Plaxton Centro to be allocated yet

KR are getting approx 4 x MAN/Centro's from Heathrow when the BA staff shuttle moves to NX end of Feb

I imagine the Value branded ones get dirty at the same rate as any other member of fleet...?!

30813 and the other b7rle's are certainly not slow... It's hard as has been said before for passengers to judge whether a bus is slow or not either... All depends on driving style!

The ex Midland Classic ones are nice but the red moquette makes for a far brighter and  nicer looking interior on the RH ones.

KR getting ex Heathrow MANs

What are the regs for these 2 10 plate buses ?
I thought they were meant to be standardising vehicles at each garage
Why has redditch got streetlites and b7rles and e300s and sb120. Surely te should have the b7rles and sb120
