Hi Tony do have a current list of electrics at miller Street today?

Is E334 going to be a single or double decker?

The clue is in seating arrangement on Tony's list
H??/??

E252 and E253 please (yes, I'm aware that E252 is allocated for training at the moment)

A quick look on bus times shows E253 on the 6,E252 presumably at the garage.

Can someone please explain to me why the 12A turned up 14 minutes late at Colmore Row and the double decker that came with it was absolutely packed with nowhere to sit??

What a ridiculous question a bus running late and full  of passengers!!!!

wonder if off to tividale then on to  be resprayed into ⁹

wonder if off to tividale then on to  be resprayed into diamond livery

It's back at redditch on the 540 today. 

It's back on the 540 today. 

Both are no longer with NXWM. The "Z" ones that are in service replaced E004, E017 and E018.

In the compound at Coventry garage.

They are parked in the compound at Coventry garage.

Thank you Winston I presumed it was that one.

Was it severe front damage & was it a Levante 3?

Yes it was.

I had to pay a visit today to the trading estate and passed powertrain there's a badly damaged n/x coach does any one know its registration?

Nice pictures brings back memories.

Certainly not NX.

I believe that's for Oxford bus company.

In layman's terms is this correct then?

GNW have had Bolton depot from Diamond and Wigan depot from Stagecoach
Diamond have had Bolton depot from Arriva
2nd tranche
Stagecoach take Queens Road depot from GNW

Stagecoach will also take over Oldham of First and I believe First will have Transdevs site in Rochdale.
