Was it an eclipse? If so, I didnt see it in west brom today....  :(

[Ash]

Yeah it was an eclipse saw it from a distance behind another blue diamond eclipse and was definitely in wessex red colours and had a piece of paper up the window probably saying the service number

Did you get the reg by any chance? I imagine it was an FJ57 one but do you know which?

[PM]

Wonder how many will be coming-there are 5 in the batch-would it be unrealistic to hope for all 5??!!

[Ash]

No I didn't manage to get the reg but will see if I can spot it before it goes out of service this evening.

There were some Wessex liveried Enviro 200s at Long Acre for the last couple of weeks, that seem to have moved now, wonder where those have gone?

Were they just up for maintainance or something or did they operate in service?

Didnt see any wessex buses out on any of the west brom routes today

It may have just been put into service yesterday due to a vehicle shortage as it didn't have a programmed destination display and was in the wrong livery and would definitely be repainted before entering service with diamond.

Would it?
I think this is still in service at Tividale looking like this, taken in November last year

Yeah it would be looking at the centros that have just transferred from wessex that have been repainted into the new diamond livery before entering service.

Those wessex darts need to be repainted-saw one yesterday and it looks a bit messy compared to the smart condition of many of the ex yourbus darts
