Noted today earlier an all electric bus on a lowloader in olive green heading North. Heading South were 2 KMB Wright bodies Hong Kong standard deckers. No fleet numbers or Hong Kong registration plates. Anyone know any info on these?
Seen a 900 branded Metrobus on the M5 on Monday. About 17:00 heading South near Bromsgrove I think, possibly further South.
Would have been that Mk2a that's been preserved.

First Group at Bristol are currently taking delivery of Scania/E400MMC's in Orange/Grey for Metrobus & standard colours
Saw a plain white e200 67 plate coming down the M42, claribels maybe?
Seen 2 London Streetlites on the M6 (Bescot) on delivery.
You missed one then because there were 3 almost behind each other!!!WS83,WS84,WS85
Looked like Blackpool Transport 324 (PN04 XDH) heading south today.

Probably for Go Ahead London on route 360
Noted on suspended tow just before lunch time today heading north on the M5 was an ex-Lothian & Thamesdown d/d. Did it venture north on the M6 ?? If so did anyone see it or are able to identify it please ?? It was either SN51AYD or AYO. :-\ [ It may of course have taken the M42 depending on its destination. ]. Cheers. ANDREW.

Annoyingly, Thamesdown have both AYD and AYO so could have been either of them! AYD is marked as withdrawn on Thamesdown's fleetlist so may have been that one.
Well it had not passed bescot by 13:00
Brighton & Hove streetdeck (rollercoaster livery) passed M6 (Walsall) 11:35 going south

Cheers for that , on checking back in time , I appear to have seen both vehicles at some time - Edinburgh I guess ,so the precise i/d is not quite so much of an issue now ! :D I tend to forget that even with the bus carrying the "new style" reg plates , this vehicle is in fact 16 years old. ;D
London United VH45238 on trade plates being delivered to London already with 18 destination blinds fitted. Seen seen leaving Warwick services on M40. Presume it had been on M6 earlier!
