One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

As a mobile bar, last I heard.

Its opening windows live on in 2989 I believe.

Note the destination. It might actually happen soon. How did they know?!

Talking of branding... isn't 2811 going into Pershore Road livery?

I've only seen them on the Wythall facebook page. I'll try and post a link.

That looks very good. Nice to see a Metrobus preserved to one of its later liveries rather than WMPTE

Hopefully this link for 2811 will work for facebook users.

2811 looks fantastic they're doing a Great Job :) It will be strange seeing this branding once again the last time I seen this Pershore Road Branding was when I was 9/10 Years Old

I believe 2989s opening windows came from a Fleetline but you probably know more Matt

As for 3013, a waste of a good motor

2811 looks great
