Spotter was in merry hill sitting under the tree at the entrance of station young chap with note pad around 11.30am

Thought i would start a thread for Northern as i use them frequently when traveling to Yorkshire and the region. I have noticed they have probably the oldest rail rolling stock in the country. The pacers are the slowest trains i know of. I don't understand how northern have not invested on the Yorkshire betwork they are crying out for more modern trains.

The latest photo of the arriva's omnilink on main site is that Arrivas new livery?

It actually nice that nxwm is introducing core night bus across birmingham. 97A, 50, 74 and now 63. Will the the N suffix return as more night services are introduced. I feel that 9 and one of the sutton lines will be next ones

2005 on 126 at 21.55, just passed it at edgbaston towards Wolverhampton

Two spotters in stourbridge interchange taking pic of 6120

How odd, the same person was mentioned on the previous page for stealing Tony's photos

Yea that was the first pic of 4763 on the pits at walsall, The newest photo of 4763 in the garage with 4764 behind it is the photo this bhatfield28 has now put on their flicker

@Tony on flickr a guy bhatfield28 that has used your photos before without your permission has got a pic of 4763 in Coventry's new livery but has a link to the site. Did you give him permission to use?

Edit: heres the link

4194 was on 297 around 6ish at merry hill bus station

61/63 going 24/7
45 terminating at Longbridge.
Apparently.

I reckon that 61/63 will gain e400s cascades from walsall when the platinums arrive to WA. Which then lead to 61/63 to be branded for 24/7 and Bristol Road (Purple maybe?) Then existing tridents to West Brom to allow the presidents to be withdrawn? I am quite glad that nxwm are introducing 24/7 services.

I think that wolverhampton garage didn't like Pensnett's modification of the rear lights of 4135. 4135 pulled into merry hill on 255 with new standard trident rear lights. I think the e400 rear lights suited the trident

Wheres the driver change for the 37?

Acock Green Village

222 branded on 297 did the last but one journey from merry hill
