4304 now at Walsall
4304 didn't transfer to WA until July 2015. It was at PB in March 2015. So you never went on it on the 40 in March 2015.

Finished 2016 with one of the good heaps sorry Eclipse 2's, 2026. Started it with a heap too most likely, more of the same next year

Why do you say that? Is there something specific about 2026 or are you not a fan of the Eclipse 2's in general? Best full size single decker to drive in the fleet in my opinion. (I've driven the Eclipse 2's, Omnilinks, E200MMC and also B10B/L/Ultra and O405N.)

For some reason the Eclipse 2s are 'underrated' by people on here - possible because some view them as dull with their ZF Ecolife... Personally I think they're excellent - good passenger environment and the Volvo chassis is typical Volvo quality. As you've mentioned before they're good to drive as well.

My last buses were whichever Plattie operated the second from Cannock X51(but it did have a woman driver for a change!) then whichever bus operated the 13 around five after seven am on Friday.

Didn't get any buses back home as my manager gave me a lift back to Asda Bloxwich, which is five mins walk from home!

So my first 2017 buses will be either if  I decide to go out tomorrow, or the second Cannock X51 on Tuesday!
