Some of green bus alao use a petrol station
In Newtown

Theres two in Newtown they use, think both are Murco stations. Central Buses also fill up there regularly.

Westy

At one point, going back quite a few years, I saw several green & yellow Choice Travel using the vehicle wash at the Spar depot in Willenhall one day.

(Did ask internally, as I worked there but no one could tell me more! )

Did Choice's old Watery Lane premises have a vehicle wash or was it out of action for some reason!

OH25

this has probably been asked before about a bus being parked there but why was there an ALX400 parked up in West Brom bus station today?

It's used for driver reliefs during the daytime

X233 NNO - it arrived at 11:20. I was hoping it would get onto the 30 or 74A!

Are evening reliefs at garage then?

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

I don't think central buses run after approx. 5/6pm

Liverpool Street

I dare say the duties aren't that bad. Probably long but if you're finished by 6pm, who's going to complain?

When did they arrive back from been sprayed Like rather good with the
branding

notepanel

It's interesting looking at those pictures that Central Buses appear to be launching this route as an almost separate entity - Xpre55, rather than simply route branding a bus.

Whilst to an enthusiast it is obviously Central Buses, there appears to be very little (if any) mention of Central Buses on the vehicles, and there is even a dedicated Xpre55 website.

They have also branded the interior of the new vehicles as well as having a dedicated website: http://www.xpre55.co.uk/
