The new branding on the electrics looks very good initially, but then the vinyl vandals get to work. The offside advert covers most of the sky blue strip. Couple of inches at the top of the vehicle remain visible and not much more below the advert. As for those legs and boots what's that all about again? Thought that fetish had been dispensed with by NX. Sadly EO38 ends up losing its good looks!

Surely the nonsense is putting the stripe there in the first place when it is clearly going to be covered by adverts.

Perhaps not impressed with the farce at Avanti West Coast?

Apologies if I've missed it being mentioned but all the buses on the Stafford Tenterbanks - Cannock Chase shuttle today had MR(S) discs and legal lettering.
Not sure quite what was going on but one noted disappearing down Doxey Road and another passing the front of the station with passengers still on and turning into the other part of Tenterbanks.

All-wite Enviro E200 LK56URO on Crewe Horse Landing last night.

Do you have a link please?

Yes - the point I singularly failed to make was its weird that a major operator managed to put out a vehicle with an erroneous plate.

shows it clearly as SX07DZN

On Friday noticed track laying appears to have finally been completed in Wolverhampton, although much paving still remains to be installed..
 Also trams still appear to be running in and out of St. Georges on battery - possibly because the wiring in Pipers Row hasn't been cleared for energisation?

One of the ex-Lothian deckers appears to have been resprayed without the use of masking tape - and rather surprisingly its not an unattractive result!

I also noted that there is a twelve minute time warp between the two platforms at St. Georges@

Has anyone mentioned that trams are running into St. Georges on batteries - I assume because the section from the junction to the bottom of Queen St is not ready for energisation?

Where is the previous "neutral section" or its equivalent.

Thanks - I'd seen those but the BBC one issued last Sunday said opening on Sunday - not opening today, while the WMR one said "set to open it's doors" with no mention since.

Can anyone confirm Perry Barr re-opened on 29th May?

I seem to recall Walsall's shade of blue  was a special mix?
