Hello, have these buses been moved from route 51, I was down in the wm area today and didn't see any.

they havent been on service since january due to countrywide hydrogen shortages.

What routes will they be on please.

every route at PB that is double deck

two fires today,

Stagecoach East Midlands E400 in hull (NK58 AEY)

Streetdecks I'm guessing? Are they the old version (like Arriva's) or new version (like Oxford Bus Company's)?

all of firsts newest electroliners are all pre-facelift so its probably the same

Spotted Arriva Merseyside's 4473 being towed on M6 south past J11 - perhaps heading your way?

doubt theyd send a DB300 down to leicester, probably heading further south to kent to replace ALX400s since they already have a fairly sizeable fleet of vdl geminis

NCT Optare solo SR YJ61 CGV got burnt to a crisp this morning.

the solo (YJ13 HJN) has now moved up north to high peak after 4 days in staffordshire.

Bring back the 116 Tamworth to Birmingham.

the 116 barely carried anyone between birmingham to minworth from what i remember of it tbh, and then kingsbury now has a 30 min service to tamworth on the 76 which is where i presume most passengers would've used it.

Looks like Leamington are running this, using 5 Unibus branded E400MMCs today.

looks like its mixed depot for european nights like today, nuneaton and leamington are running a couple and even a X4 branded gold mmc has come from as far as kettering.

Apparently Chaserider have 2 new buses, 328 being a optare solo SR in the new Centrebus orange and blue livery which is apparently on the 60. The second one is 998 which is a scania K230UB Wright Solar but on the DVSA website the vehicle is showing as SORN. Anyone know what these are and if they are true please.

the solo is ex centrebus north YJ13 HJN
the solar is ex cardiff bus CN58 FFX
the solar is true, saw a photo of it on the facebook group, it does take a while for the website to update sorn status and such.

Will the MCV Evolution buses be withdrawn?

ones gone to burton so the rest might follow

Stagecoach is going to start running a football special service for villa home games "AV82" between new street and VP starting the next game against wolves.
