QuoteE004; E017; E018 off lease with Zenobe
Does this mean they have been brought outright by NX or they never to be seen again?

QuoteIf anything, the X21 should be renumbered 21 and these Merry Hill runs numbered 21A.
But does the x21 have a quicker running as it has X in front of it?

QuoteThere weren't any typos.
Tbh there isn't alot of traffic in merry hill on Sunday (maybe towards Christmas yes) but I doubt it'll impact it much. If the 002 can meet to timetable on Sunday, surely the X21 can too and they'll probably work in rest times at Merry Hill as the journey will probably take roughly an hour and a half. X21 is roughly 40 mins end to end on Sundays

QuoteVery funny.
Why is it funny, Tony said nx has won a tender on a route never been ran by nx. 002 was up for tender on Sundays only. Extending the x21 once an hour is a compromise and good use of resources so the service can be ran.

X21 going to merry hill via 002 route hourly on Sundays, I wonder if the Diamonds 002 will be renumbered to 21? @Simon Dunn

QuoteThe plan is to reinstate Platform 4 at Snow Hill for rail use so this will see the site of the old tram platform swept away.
There were people looking at snow hill in April and May. Taking photos of PTI (Passenger Train Interface) also I think they want it to be bidirectional like the other 3.

Would it be logical to assume that a hydrogen including a refuel (or if not if possible) could manage to do the longest board on the 51? Maybe do the 51s well into the night?

Is there a way to see which routes are out for tender?

QuoteHas the fuelling situation been sorted now?
They now have a deal with hydrogen prices like they do for diesel

Is there any plans to rejoin the outer circle? Or is the split helping with timings and reliability?

Is there just 30 DD due this year followed by potentially 270 next year?

QuoteHow come the blue 47s are being painted grey but not the 47s which are red is it because they are in bad condition and won't last as long
To get rid of any Coventry coloured buses... Any red and white are fine as they are in West Midlands colours

QuoteLots of cancelled trains on the Snow Hill Lines today.
18:15 Worcester - Dorridge, 18:24 Kidderminster - Whitlocks End and loads of others cancelled.
Action short of strike, no Overtime

QuoteThey should concert them 11 years isn't really a long time they should keep them longer they better keep them longer
They will sell them on, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news that there will fewer and fewer diesel by the end of the decade. You should be happy you'll get nice new electrics for the Dudley Road
