Looking at the recent uploads of the TYB B6s it states that some of them after leaving miller Street transfered to PB garage for a short time in 2001, what routes did these operate on as I can't recall seeing these

Hi everyone, was just looking at the photograph of Your bus 9085. Never new they had this bus, was just wondering if anyone new when/where this operated and what routes did it do, or was it just a staff bus?

Noticed a Citaro heading into Birmingham City Centre about 8.30 this morning on the Bristol Road. As far as I no, Arriva dosent operate around there so any ideas what is was doing and where it came from.

On 4515 this morning on the 7 and one passenger managed to knock into (not hard, he jus clipped his side off it) one of the poles reaching from the roof to the handle at the top of the seat which came loose and was waving about. Never seen anything like that before, just wondering if any other members have.

P.s I imagine half of these replies will involve anything made by Optare.

Saw 4731 heading down the All Saints Way and then past the Bus station at 14:10 today, any ideas where this was heading?

Today i borded a VIP Dart on the 71 in Sutton and noticed the Driver was in full Central Connect uniform also chatting to another driver wearing a Diamond uniform. Just wondering if anyone knows if VIP hires drivers or if these were just ex Diamond/Connect drivers?

How long have Sandwell Travel been running on the 80, and how often do they (supposedly) run.

Many Thanks

Was on 1480 a couple weeks ago and noticed it has 3 different designs on the seats, most have the standard earlier refurb moquette used on the B10Ls along with one or two seat cushions in the newer style blue moquette (the type used on the first batch of omnilinks). The third is the original moquette that the B10Ls were delivered in (one seat cushion remains like this).

Does anybody know any other NXWM vehicles with three or more different seat patterns or why 1480 still has one seat cushion in the original moquette?

Anybody seen Centrals new deckers, any idea what services they will be used on or will they simply replace the 2 Olympians on school/contract/28E workings.
