Is that your handy work, Tommy?

What job you got at CB?

Jack of all trades :-) And no, it's not my handy work! It is at Volant in Aldridge.

Better keep the black on the rear bumper and silver headlights tom!

The silver light surrounds will go black but the black on the rear bumper will stay.

Not all operators have their own fuel pumps. I used to see Green Buses fuelling up at the Texaco garage on Kingstanding Road frequently a while back. You do also see lots of other small operators also using petrol stations

Not the only operators to do this either. Banga Travel and Travel Express both use the Petrol Station Just off Dudley Rd/Birmingham Rd

re fuel, even if an operator has their own tank, it can sometimes be necessary to fill up elsewhere for many reasons. when i used to be on the coaches, sometimes we got a better deal using fuel cards than having fuel in the tank at depot. sometimes deliveries were day slots so if you were getting close to running out it may be necessary to fill up elsewhere. you also need to have funds available before delivery, and you need to buy a decent amount to get a good deal.

Midland Rider used public fueling stations regularly.

For obvious reasons of course.
