Thanks Tony - good to hear 6746 is being repaired.

I personally think a single decker in WCT livery would look excellent - even though I only recall it on the handful of Bedford SBOs and the Leyland Royal Tigers (as 808, now preserved at Wythall) - and also to continue the naming from 4601 (Walsall1955 on Flickr, sadly deceased).

I've just seen a picture on Facebook of 1834 in Walsall corporation colours has it been photoshopped or is it real Tony ?

Reading between the lines.. ;)

If it was, it wasn't tracking on there.

Someone managed to grab a photo of it leaving Wolverhampton ;) (not me lol) https://flic.kr/p/2mXKVns

PB 1932 has something on the roof at the rear anyone what it is only noticed that one with it

1832 has been fitted with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) equipment which - as I'm led to believe - will be used to create 4D imaging/mapping of potholes, trends in parking, etc...

I believe there will be a few buses having them installed

1850 is tracking as a 19 to Bloxwich, but is currently hearing towards Birmingham. Passing Perry Barr as I type.

What is BX54ZWV please?

Iveco - As I understand, it was used by the training school to asses trainee drivers' abilities to manoeuvre larger vehicles

Is there a West Midlands Network version of the app, so you can have Nbus travel on all operators,  rather than being restricted to one operator like Nx?

The NX app offers nBus passes for 1 week and 4 week - even for local low fare zones

Looks like E011 has returned to the West Midlands.. without its wrap (not my photo)

Are these identical to the West Midlands versions? I'd imagine they were ordered before the sale, or not?

In Xplore Dundee's latest post, it appears their fleet numbers are in the 8500 range (with 8502 pictured)

Pretty pleased with this photo of H1015 in the dark.. (Only downside of working during daylight hours - not being able to photograph these then!) lol

Pretty pleased with this photo of 615 on Metro replacement last week. I think these smart blinds look exactly that - smart!  ;D

4778 appears to track, although does so without a service number
