PN2102 (WMPTE Leyland National liveried B7RLE) at Hartshorne, Pensnett as of yesterday.

Of course it does, it's a mk2 metrobus. Best buses ever made

Scientists have said that only 2 things would survive a nuclear apocalypse - cockroaches and a Mk 2 Metrobus!

4450 has been sold and is just waiting collection

Looks like 9951 will outlive all of the Tridents and Geminis - who'd have thought it?!

None of yesterdays photos are loading.

I'm using Edge and they're loading fine for me.

When bus goes outside the tfwm land the nbus goes off the ticket machine so you cannot get a nbus it is replaced with daysaver extra so that is what you get and visa versa

Witchcraft!

Former Stagecoach Optare Solo, PX07HBL, has been filming for a new BBC3 television show.

The bus was destinated "11 Erdington". It was fitted with full studio cameras in the saloon for full interior and talking head shots.

The vehicle is currently for sale.

Quick visit to the NXWM Latest Changes page to see the latest official updates. Loads of nonsense about smashed windscreens, bicycle spaces, random vehicle removals. Won't be bothering with that again.

i see what you mean - someone has a very overactive imagination, or NXWM have a lot of open top work coming up!

Only 3 deckers remain at PN withdrawn yard:

9951(?), 

4453 (provisionally sold according to @Tony recent posts and notice in the windscreen)

4450 (?) 

All other vehicles are Scanias in various states of repair.

E255 at WN as of yesterday morning.

[Scania K230UB Wright Solar]

Vehicles noted at, not necessarily operating for, Chaserider yesterday at 10.10hrs:

FM11EJD  Mercedes Benz Citaro   Branded as a training bus

YX09FMG  Enviro 200

B6WER     Scania K230UB Wright Solar

FJ58HYW      Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban (rear damage)

PJZ9450       Volvo B7TL Plaxton President

YJ16DSO      Optare Metrocity

FJ58HYX      Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban

Bus 51         Heavy front RTA damage

2x UID         Optare Metrocity in white

Bus 144       Front panel missing

These are just observations as of yesterday. Seems to be a few others buried I couldn't make out.

Ex Whippet E200 seen in Chaserider's garage this morning in blue/yellow livery - new purchase perhaps?

We don't thank Liverpool for their bus age limit, it just drives older buses elsewhere, as has happened here in Leicestershire, with a rather large chunk of the double decker fleet being built before 2010.
Perhaps the lone Olympus might stick around as the two remaining Eclipse Geminis, also Volvo B9TLs, don't seem to be going anywhere at the moment. Besides that pair of Eclipse Geminis, we also still have three random Streetlites, so not impossible that the last Olympus will stay!

Spotted Arriva Merseyside's 4473 being towed on M6 south past J11 - perhaps heading your way?

Whatever the circumstances that led to the low bridge incident, it is useful to know that it has happened. 

This will be thoroughly investigated, though speculation isn't really helpful.
