I did hear something about the engine out of NK56 EPU being used for GX53 MWJ, although I'm not 100% sure about that. To be fair I've not really seen any of the ex Thandi Darts out on rail recently since they've acquired some ex London Enviro 200's.

The Enviro 200's they've acquired are...

15677 has done the full 77 route today from Leamington Spa to Stratford-upon-Avon and back. First time I think a decker has done the full route since Johnsons ran the route (not counting the Kineton and Gaydon short journeys).

Quote from: Michael Bevan on October 30, 2023, 11:58:04 AMSolus Coaches have started running the 62 from today which I'm told is Leamington Spa to Myton Green. Can't find any information about the service online though. Seen a photo of YUI 2774 on it though still branded for Gatwick Hoppa.

Timetable for the new 62 service...

Noted on the 71 today are YUI 2776 and YX58 HVB.

I've seen a photo of YUI 2774 out too, which I'm guessing YX58 HVB has replaced at some point in the day.

Quote from: EK40 on October 17, 2023, 09:55:23 AMIts probably gonna get rewrapped as soon as possible because wraps do not do the paintwork any favours tbh like 4799 which has lots of bare metal

(4801 if anyone hasnt seen it https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/553651820237684758/1162551523302195240/20231013_221328.jpg ) not my image

That's my photo which seems to have caused quite a stir! I understand that from a presentation view, it doesn't look great. But I do agree that any bus is better than no bus...

It's also not like I haven't seen worse. I've seen buses running around with bare metal panels, panels taped on etc. As bad as it sounds, it's just part of the parcel of the industry. Things happen and sometimes you have to send something out that doesn't look the best. Just as long as it's legal and doesn't have any PG9's, then it's fine.
