Midland Classic, Coastal Liner and NXWM at least. I presume Central Buses are in on the action too?

NX are using 184* Scania's and WN supposedly used 840 and 846 yesterday

Coastal Liner were using the Tridents

I hope not between Tame Bridge & Rugeley Trent Valley, The low bridge just before Trent Valley Station wouldn't like the roof!

(Some boards only go to Rugeley Town, and there are other just Walsall - Tame Bridge boards)

Wasn't Midland Classic doing some today?

I caught sight of a red & orange bus(I think?) passing my house earlier & Mother said 'What an awful bus!'

I stuck up for MC as I have a school friend working for them!

Pretty sure at Green Bus I could allocate Spectras to those jobs (but not Volvos or Tridents)

There was a Spectra on saturday
