Both are no longer with NXWM. The "Z" ones that are in service replaced E004, E017 and E018.

In the compound at Coventry garage.

They are parked in the compound at Coventry garage.

Thank you Winston I presumed it was that one.

Was it severe front damage & was it a Levante 3?

Yes it was.

I had to pay a visit today to the trading estate and passed powertrain there's a badly damaged n/x coach does any one know its registration?

Nice pictures brings back memories.

Certainly not NX.

I believe that's for Oxford bus company.

In layman's terms is this correct then?

GNW have had Bolton depot from Diamond and Wigan depot from Stagecoach
Diamond have had Bolton depot from Arriva
2nd tranche
Stagecoach take Queens Road depot from GNW

Stagecoach will also take over Oldham of First and I believe First will have Transdevs site in Rochdale.

Heard a rumour today that Arriva Tamworth has been purchased by First I don't know if there's any truth in this could anyone clarify?

Must be April 1st...

Didn't think Digbeth every operated it. It was always Sutton when my dad worked there which was from 1972 onwards. Sutton had some DP Leopards until the PTE takeover in 1973 then it was normally Fleetlines until the Ailsas arrived then they were the favourite for it. When Miller Street took over 4242 was a regular, that left the fleet in 1983 so it did move to Miller Street before Sutton garage closure in 1984.

You may be right Tony,I just remember more than once I asked the driver if he was going down to digbeth on a Friday evening so I had a lift down there. 

It was Digbeth when I used it,with dp leopards.

Yes it was the 162 a nice lift down to digbeth

There was a limited stop from chelmsley Wood many years ago via collector Rd,Tyburn Rd and expressway every time I used it I was the only passenger normally directing the driver.

40819 not tracking since it left Manchester in April.

I watched the last episode of Last of the Summer Wine tonight and a Bedford OB appears towards the end of the episode to transport guests to a wedding. Any idea which bus this was and does it still exist?
