OMC Global based in Witney have announced the launch of their new Birmingham operation. Seen a couple of posts on Facebook too from the owner looking for drivers in the Midlands area, so will be interesting to see how these guys get along!

Surely it would have been cheaper to put some sort of generic signage on the shelter itself?

Non service specific.

I assume it was a Marketing effort but now it is outdated

E200s definitely notorious for how rattly they are, exact reason I dislike them to be honest, but they can be fast if you put your foot down, a lot of them are used here in Coventry on the 85 that goes to Rugby, I have been on a few E200s on this particular route and, except the usual rattling, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. I gotta say though I definitely prefer B7s over E200s, slightly faster acceleration, more spacious and a lot quieter.

Oh yeah the ZF's have something fitted might be the exhaust trap that makes a high pitched whistle/whine when they slow down, the 8 does allow for some foot down moments through the country roads

Scientists have said that only 2 things would survive a nuclear apocalypse - cockroaches and a Mk 2 Metrobus!

What about a MK1 Metrobus?
