2 LWB all over white streetlites together come through halesowen last night, heading up to manor way.

I think those two you are referring to, are the two LWB that are parked in a HGV yard in Graingers Lane, Cradley Heath (I forget the operator, but I think they do Rail Replacement Work ?)

The two Rotala have have since been confirmed as Wrightbus Demo's covering some Warranty Work

30413 has been out in service for the first time in many months today! It covered the 889 school from Bishop Walsh to Kingstanding as the kids finished early today. Also worth noting it has been repainted into the Brighter Diamond livery now too.

What will be used on the 96 from Jan - obviously PB used omnilinks which did get quite busy at times so a solo wouldn't do it.

If it was that busy it wouldn't have been withdrawn for not carrying enough passengers

Will probably see anything from Tividale, even though full size singles can be tight in a few places along the route.

Looks like diamond using B7RLES on there. Also didn't realise how early this route started. 4;48 from erdington is surely diamonds earliest vehicle leaving tividale

Versa on there today as well
Streetlites have been used too. Apparently it's a Euro 5 contract but the Versa's and B7's are Euro 4...

It's Euro 4. Certain journeys need full size vehicles (schools etc)

Makes sense, and agreed some journeys on the 96 really wouldn't cope without a full size Single!

all 96s are now streetlights.
*Streetlites

I thought anything Euro 4 and above could be used though, don't understand where more Streetlites have come from for it as it usually see's normally 1 on it?

Steveminor

Since capacity isn't an issue it makes sense to use streelites, newer & more fuel efficient

cris 99

The streetlights have been taken off the 002 and replaced by volvos plus the 2 loans have been on recently
