I used to use the AS1 down the Coventry Rd save waiting for the 900. I don't know if its the same/will be the same, although I did have trouble getting the bus to stop sometimes along the Coventry rd, but I haven't used it for a good while now

Does anyone know what the reg of the plain white double door E200 operating at Birmingham Airport on Sunday evening was. It think the reg may have started with DX10, but not to sure?

DD18 GAS (Scania Biogas bus) & LF67 EVV (Volvo 7900E) are currently parked at the coach park at Birmingham Airport currently, with the latter branded for Birmingham Airport trials.

edit Not sure where the 7900E is at the moment, but the BYD Demo is here now as well.
Second edit: here's two photos of the aforementioned buses (except the BYD)

I believe they're for BHX's own operation, covering on-site car park shuttles.

Fair play, I wasn't sure if APH ran those or not, haven't been to the airport for a while.

Not a problem. APH still use MetroAtrocities on their run to Hams Hall & Airparks use King Wrongs & a Solo to Garrett's Green.

Of course, it's Airparks I'm getting mixed up with.

Indeed, to replace the current fleet of 4 MAN MCVs, 2 Citaros and an E200

I went out to photograph the electric buses last week - two were on charge in the bus park just north of International station, and when the first one  arrived at the Airport Terminal the pantograph came down and immediately retracted, although that may have been because it was having a driver change. If they can (or need to) take two out of service at a time to recharge are the gantries anything other than a gimmick?
The next one did however stay connected during its layover.
