With WMT having a severe staff shortage yesterday , a lot of afternoon services at Worcester were cancelled with r/r buses/coaches laid on . This gave me the chance to travel on my first "BMC" badged vehicle for many a year !
I travelled back to Bromsgrove on First Choices BMC Condor BX60CKL. Which , apart from doing what many buses do -  rattle - , it went well in between queues in the rush hour slow traffic. The driver was smart and helpful too . On arrival at Bromsgrove I also noted a Tourismo of Emminence Travel and an example of the obligitory anonymous , all white , ex-National Express Levante coach. :D

The Ex nx one if you could see where the words National express used to be on the rear then that's Mighty Travel of Yardley.

See my last full list, 5507 had been at Hartshornes for ages, but you posting is a bit late as it is back at BC today.

6924 now back at PN as well

Okay thanks Tony, i take it 4579 is indeed at powertrain for some sort of repairs.

4579 look's like it's at powertrain in Willenhall today and also 5507 was at Hartshornes yesterday.

Thanks Tony.

Noted at Hartshornes this morning was 2097, 2127, a B5LH (Probably 5509) and a Nation Express Levante.

Does anyone know if rail replacement services are still starting outside Wetherspoons or has work progressed enough for them to get nearer the station?

I work for Abeillo who co ordinate the buses for WMR/LNWR/EMR i can try and find out for you if you wish, although last time it was the bus stop outside Wetherspoons on Lichfield Street.

Our new improved 42 service starts on 15 February. New timetable attached including a new 42H service

Hi can i share this on my public page on facebook please?  https://www.facebook.com/TRSPTCINWM/

I caught 6772 on the 529 this morning and ive noticed it's got no Front destination display but the side and rear work.

Does anyone know what size display the flip dot is on a Mercedes Citaro G EX TWM?

Unless you had access to all the other relevant information, then using the running board to track a vehicle is difficult.  For example, a vehicle you want to track is on board 45/07.  That means nothing, as you don't know what times that board 45/07 does.  Anyway, finding out what board a vehicle is on is hard in itself.

I did get told that once before although i much prefer to use the timetables instead off the website.

Im not particularly fussed about duties and what drivers are on ect.  However running boards i was if something "rare" was on a service. For example when the pershore rd first had platinum's on it or if there is a loan vechile then its easier to track. Now however i just use the timetables that are on the NXWM website to work out the timings for something and more often then not ive got the timings right.

Does anyone know which operators will be on cross city rail replacements this weekend?

We normally have Midland Classic, Arriva and NX. Although whatever vechiles are used they have to be single deck because of Low Bridges.

Someone has run into the back of 6811 near Gravelly Hill a few hours ago.

One is on the 17 and one is on the 55

Stagecoach 34519 on a Guru Travel disc at Crewe tonight, also number 1311.
Out again this morning. Still with Stagecoach legal lettering as well as Guru's on s piece of paper, and other saying its waiting to be repainted - do Guru have a livery?

I'm not entirely sure of they have a specific livery although I was the co ordinator there at crewe and it was a standby vechile down at liverpool south parkway but Northwich travel wasnt playing ball so that got utilized instead and then I sent it back out at 18:50 all stations to Livepool South Parkway.
