[Please note: I neither work for Endeavour Coaches Ltd or am asked to endorse their vehicles or services. I too am just a fellow bus/coach enthusiast with a particular interest in the company and have a good relationship with the company, hence why I have the low-down.]

S200END has been acquired to be used on school contract work on behalf of Birmingham City Council to transport youngsters from the Warstock and Maypole area to Bournville College. These are pupils who used to attend the now closed down Baverstock Academy.
S100END (the double-decker) is also to be used on school contract work but won't be on the road for a while yet.
I can vouch that S200END is an excellent runner as I had a ride on her yesterday.

Hope this is of interest.
PS: To those of you saying the vehicle is still going round in its Bay Travel livery, I am reliably informed that it will be in Endeavour livery asap. This hasn't been done yet as it is in daily use on its contractual duties.

As of 30/9/16, Endeavour Coaches Ltd new fleet addition. BV66GVZ is a Mercedes Benz Tourismo with the added extra of wheelchair access. A stunning vehicle. To see pictures, view my facebook profile, you'll find me as Pete Beard, or Endeavour Coaches official facebook page there are also their full pictures available. Hope this is of interest.

Hi Everyone,
I would be grateful of some help and assistance if possible please. If anyone out there has any fleet list information for Zak's Bus & Coach Services Ltd that you would be willing to let me have copies of for reference, either via email or by post which I will pay the postage costs for. Also if anyone has pics or information on 2 specific vehicles, Mercedes Minibus F427 JFT and Renault Master Minibus N104 KBZ I would be most grateful for any help and assistance. You can either personal message me in the first instance or, if you prefer, email me direct on pete.beard@btinternet.com. Many thanks
Pete

Hi, I'm looking for someone who would be able to paint a couple of bus/coach models for me. Photographs available to work from and I would be be able to supply the models which would need to be stripped down and repainted. Please email me for further details of my requirements at pete.beard@btinternet.com. Cheers, Pete :)

[Northfield Private Hire]

Hi, just as a matter of interest, does anybody know if a company that used to be known as Northfield Private Hire is still trading? Their offices and yard were based in the Moseley Road area and they mainly operated minibuses and coaches on Special Needs contracts for Birmingham City Council. I know they were trading still in the early 2000's but I'm not sure whether they are still around. Cheers, I will be grateful for any info. Pete.

[Grosvenor sold the coach 315RTO]

Hi, Just as a little add-on, does anybody know who Grosvenor sold the coach 315RTO (previously J232HVK) to? I know Tony has a picture of it within the Grosvenor fleet list and for those of you who may be interested I have my own exterior and interior photos on my photostream. To check it out go to www.ipernity.com and search for 'pete beard'. Any comments and feedback welcome and of course, if anyone can tell me where the coach is now I would be grateful. Cheers, Pete.

Hi Fleetline,
I believe that Grosvenor no longer operate tendered/commercial routes because there is no bus service information on their website anymore and also, I used to see the Northfield Shopper Service regularly (sorry, I can't remember the route number) and I know that the same service is now being operated by WMSNT. I would guess that as they haven't been running their office from Hall Green for well over a year now(?), I am led to believe they just operate from their yard at Dickens Heath and things seem to be more School Service/ Coach Service orientated. I hope that this has of some help to you. Kind regards. Brummiebusman.
