Anyone know whats up with Solo 2507 Im still looking for this but its not been out since November last year.

possibly withdrawn as I think the Solo SRs are slowly being removed from service

Just seen a report of a coach fire

This is correct it happened just outside of Ledbury Herefordshire

Former Leicester 32646 (46) is apparently due to be scrapped very soon. Got an engine misfire apparently. (Plus few other issues that it won't pass MOT)..
Shame to see it finally go. Would be great if one of the many enthusiasts/drivers got together to save it.

its been withdrawn as of today

Commandery have take delivery of a Neoplan Tourliner PSVAR Compliant OY72CCO

So has BX 12 DZJ (Mercedes Tourino) gone then?

No its still very much there and in use

Unless First/Stagecoach come back to the area, the only other company that run local services in Hereford is Sargeants, and they mainly do school routes and the A/B circulars. The TrawsCymru T14 is ran by Stagecoach.

I'm not including Lugg Valley as I would guess they wouldn't be looking at these routes if Yeomans weren't doing them.

Hereford Council's response to it

Stagecoach do operate into Hereford with the T14 and X3 operated by Stagecoach South Wales and Stagecoach West From Gloucester Via Ross-on-Wye.

First Bus only operate an Wednesday service from Ledbury

The biggest problem in Hereford is there is very little operators that do Stage carriage work.

Its only Yeomans/Lugg Valley, Nick Maddy Coaches, Sargeant`s & DRM of Bromyard left in Herefordshire that do service work

Just seen 5001 being removed from Thurmaston depot on back of Crouch recovery truck, also unidentified E400 parked at bottom of depot looks like ex Arriva London.

it probably the decker that think may have come London via Telford as 9549 YG52CMU has turned up at Telford

I`ve not seen any advertisement from Elcocks in Telford for the outlet centre but tbh if I don`t like the idea of these outlet centres as its doing away with with town centres in my opinion and I`ve been to a few outlet centres and you can find things in shops if not cheaper

Does anybody know which bus caught fire today in Shrewsbury?

Now believed to be 2988 YJ09OTW Optare Versa

Does anybody know which bus caught fire today in Shrewsbury?

Are the Scanias still there?  Thought they were brought in to cover schools.

They are withdrawn now but i think they are still in telford awitaing there fate

Optare Versa 2944 YJ61CFL & 2980 YJ09MKX are on Loan from Shrewsbury to cover the Additional School Services

2146 (previously 11 branded) now painted into the new livery.

As much as I dislike the new Arriva livery, I must admit it does make the E200s look rather smart.

2146 does look really smart now especially as it had starte to look very untidy and scruffy.

Sampled them all at Cannock over time, 3740-2 were always very tidy vehicles, inside and out. The Centros, 3841/4/6 I actually sampled down Hemel Hempstead and Watford and again a good few times when at Cannock, if anything they were improved over time at Cannock, particularly the repainted one.

I personally don`t see what the problem was every depot always have a few problematic that cause issues
