Does anyone know which crimson Trident took Myra Syal around Essington?

No, that is later on using 4453, 4601 and maybe the Metrobus and Daimler duplicating service buses

4601 is not a heritage vehicle, so could work the route anytime, I suppose. Including the first journey?

It should do the 09:33 301 from Walsall then back to garage

Photographed it this morning. Mostly good, but those fleetnumbers should be the same colour as the fleet name...

Thank you.

4601 today please.

I have written to the E&S concerning their coverage of these incidents and would urge others to do the same.  Respectfully of course!

Another couple of videos doing the rounds tonight online, again of wild animals attacking buses, this time both NXWM...

I must admit this one made me laugh from London, natural selection at its finest! Just a shame taxpayers will be paying for the damage.

Monday's edition of the Express and Star shows two 'fans' on top of West Midlands buses. Well done!
Just the way to encourage more behavoir like this...

A heritage style tram would be nice to replace tram 11. @Dom   8) 8)

As the trams are in fve sections you could have each section painted in a different heritage livery, Birmingham, West Brom, Coventry, Walsall and Wolverhampton?  I know, I'll get my coat....

But a nice idea for expert photoshoppers, perhaps?

Three people on the track were killed when struck by a train at Loughborough Junction, south London this morning.

Some reports say body parts in bags found on railway. Lets not jump to conclusions...

Waiting for the number transfers and Walsall Corporation fleetnames to come from the printers

Thanks for that.

Strange you ask that as I have just suggested a single deck for the next one

Any more news on 4601, Tony?

Just been sent this by a friend of mine. Apparently the 10 will be renumbered the 10A from the 22nd of July...

When was there last a Sunday service from Walsall to Lichfield?

Whoever edited Saturday's documentary about Germaine Greer was obviously no well infrmed on transport matters. Firstly there were no Quantas 747s around in 1964, but more relevantly when introducing her time in Cambridge we saw a clip of High Street, Oxford, complee with COMS AEC....

Are there any plans to name 4601?  With the 70th aniversary of the NHS coming soon, can I again suggest 'Sister Dora'?  Could be some good publiclty around this?

What livery will that be, Tony?   West Brom would be nice...
