Quote from the Buses Magazine FaceBook page:

Volvo has unveiled its first all-electric 7900E single-decker for the UK. The demonstrator is scheduled to spend a year on trial in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham

I wonder if the visit to Birmingham is going to be for NX?

Just seen the new National Express West Midlands advert, staring 1881, on Sky Sports News HQ. It's impressive, easy to understand, easy on the eye as well.

Well Done NX

Apart from Hansons, have any other companies announced what they've won and lost? If not when could we expect it to come out?

NX have launched their new website, currently in beta form, but with a couple of changes and a visual overhaul.

I would like to ask for some opinions.

A friend of mine was travelling on the bus earlier and a woman changed her baby's nappy on board. Nothing happen like there was no spillages or anything yet he thinks that this isnt a socially acceptable thing and that the woman should of got off the bus before her final destination to change it then catch another bus.

Thoughts? Do you agree? Do you not?

Hello Guys!

I know I've said it before but this time I have the capability of sticking to it.

WEST MIDLANDS BUSES NEWS IS BACK!

Sorry for making a new topic.

What are the return fares on the 8A to Telford?

Post here your last public transport vehicle of 2015 and First one of 2016.

4572 2015 (I think)
4591 2016

I've heard that most of the services using Merry Hill will be converted into Double Deckers tomorrow. From what I was told spare deckers will be loaned in to ensure that services will cope with the expected crowds. I was also told that the 243 and 276 will be the only routes not to be double decker.

Can anyone confirm this to be true?

All services through Wolverhampton are delayed by up to 20-30 mins due to power supply u issue. This is expected to be until 11:00
