Anything apart from double deckers (although deckers do appear on there sometimes but it is very sporadic) it is mainly single decker operated

I'm most grateful for the answer. Thank you.

Most grateful for the answer. I asked the question as I'll be in the West Midlands in two weeks for two days. A bit of tidying up some gaps in my various ways.

optare solo 2510/CX57 CYY seems to have operated the 7:40 birmingham/9:10 tamworth service on the 110 before being taken off for enviro 400 4414

shortages be hitting i guess lmao, quite the peaktime duty for a short slimline solo

That Solo is not compliant for Euro 6 be £50 to pay or bigger fine 

How many Scanias left in service at Tamworth now ?

Got lucky with getting a DAF on the 765/X65 yesterday in Lichfield. Very happy with that. For the record it was 3758.

I didn't ride on it-as I had an NX nBUS ticket. It sounded alright leaving......

110 seems to longer go inside ventura park, instead continuing up fazeley road then riverdrive up to tame drive across the river.

Also seems that once a day in each direction 
(7:40 tamworth - brum
14:40 brum - tamworth)

A 110 goes up reddicap hill instead of rectory road passing good hope normally.

To help keep buses running on time we'll be changing the route around Ventura Park. Buses will run along River Drive and along the A4091 Fazeley Road rather than the centre of Ventura Park where they are often getting caught up in traffic. Customers wishing to travel between Tamworth Town Centre and Ventura Park can use service 2 from Victoria Road which will run every 30 minutes on Monday to Saturday daytimes and every hour on Sundays.
We're working with Staffordshire County Council to provide additional bus stops on Fazeley Road.
At the request of TfWM, students attending John Willmott School will benefit from an extra journey along Reddicap Hill in both directions during school times.

Ventura Park traffic issues have always been a problem in running the 110 service, been removed  to travel on roadway outside before but not generally liked by shoppers carrying bags.
It really needs the entrance / exits improving by the council to speed up the traffic flow.
