There's some sat in that space on this Google Street View image taken in August. Is that similar to what you saw there Karl?

Decker could be X398KBV. DVSA site says its MOT expired in September.
Could be the same operator as this one in the Ladywood area.

Could be guru travels yard as I know they've bought some (not sure how many) of the ex-thandi stagecoach darts for use on rail replacement duties

I believe they've just replaced their older GX53/04 Darts with the ex Thandi ones. So they may have potentially moved their withdrawn vehicles to another yard whilst awaiting disposal?

It must be an overspill yard for Guru Travel.  Present there on 19 November were UIG 3310, X398 KBV, GX 04 EXN and NK 56 EPA.  The latter is one of the ex Thandi Executive Darts.

That's correct.  Registered address is Stour Street Birmingham.
