EPC was parked there at 16.10 causing a problem for a school coach which drew up alongside and couldn't make the turn and, probably wisely, then chose to back off rather than continue along Railway Street and try to get out that way. I thought it was still there when I came back from the pub around 20.00 and didn't register it being a different one - if it was both have an advert for Stagecoach MegaRider in the first offside window.

Other vehicles noted were OW15WKC, who's owner I can't recall, which had both front and rear screens scrolling between "Departs 14.10" and "LNw Replacement to Rugby". No idea what the rationale for the 14.10 departure time was about 13.45 a clearly exasperated announcer had directed Rugeley passengers to the "public bus" and the rest via Birmingham.

Orbit E21ORB was there at 12.50 , I assumed having arrived from Rugby, but never heard it announced as going back.

OW15 WKC is owned by "Mighty Travels"

YW 1912 was involved in a minor RTC with a Megabus coach yesterday. 

I've just had a quick look on Bus View and the fleet of Southern Coachlines looks to be very varied and interesting. 

It was a tourismo last time so who knows.

The Green Bus, South Staffs, Cymru Coaches, solus coaches, Lingburg and Southern Coachlines will be out on Sunday.  Operating for XC between Leamington Spa, Banbury and Oxford. And Leamington Spa - Didcot Parkway direct if anyone is interested

The Green Bus, South Staffs, Cymru Coaches, solus coaches, Lingburg and Southern Coachlines will be out on Sunday and maybe Saturday operating for XC between Leamington Spa, Banbury and Oxford. And Leamington Spa - Didcot Parkway direct if anyone is interested.

Diamond are going with the jubilee bus I believe.

[We understand Warwick County Council intend to tender a replacement service for withdrawn Solihull to Stratford section.]

In the case of the X20 between Stratford & Solihull, the actual wording is:

Will operate current timetable in full until 14/8/22. From 14/8/22 service will operate between Coventry to Solihull only. We understand Warwick County Council intend to tender a replacement service for withdrawn Solihull to Stratford section.

I've heard from drivers that the 8 Rifle range to Hales Park via Kidderminster is being withdrawn from 28/08/22 and replaced by the 2 Kidderminster - Bewdley and not serving Hales Park or Rifle Range.

Seen Ex sapphire E400 4402 in Derby depot today in the base arriva Livery. Also noted another Sapphire 110 E400 at the back of derby Garage.

Hi Simon, who can I speak to regarding an injury I got off one of your buses?if 

40726 has been on the Kidderminster 3 and associated 52 workings to and from Redditch, currently on its way back to Redditch on the 52 if anyone wants to see it!

Luckily it was mine on the 11:10 52 from Redditch. I have to say there was a fair few looks when it arrived into Kidderminster and whilst going through Stourport on the 3.

Also can you confirm or deny if the 52A is moving from Redditch to Kidderminster depot?

Hi Simon, is there any chance Diamond maybe increasing there presence on the Stratford Rd with Redditch gaining the X50 on a Sunday. Could this be trialed in the week as well or maybe even a Birmingham to Stratford upon Avon route again?

1953 on 76 to Northfield. Is it a loan to YW?

Green bus 120 was spotted in Kevs Yard. This afternoon.
