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)

Oh OK. Pass on that one then. I was told about the Coastal Liner Tridents so I presume they did just to Walsall
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!

@Tony I know some operators had boards that Alternated between a Walsall short and a full length trip on Friday

Pretty sure at Green Bus I could allocate Spectras to those jobs (but not Volvos or Tridents)
There was a Spectra on saturday

Green or NX?
Green Bus. NX aren't using Double Deckers (Buses from WN aren't anyway)
