SK 51 AYC on the 11C this morning, with paper stickers for the destination.

6148 on the 73E this afternoon. It then goes on to the 11E at the Yew Tree.

Ping Pong Piddle High Po was aTwo Ronnies joke.

Are the 42XXVolvo/Alexanders receiving the full update to euro6, or will fitting traps just get them to euro4?

The Tridents at BC and YW have now largely been converted to euro6 and Tony has said the PN ones are being done. Logically the rest of the Gemini's should follow. This will leave the 42XX Volvo/Alexander's at PB and WB to be replaced before the end of May. If new vehicles are to be used we should hear about them soon, otherwise there will need to be some interesting transfers.

AG 4641 had somehow smashed the back window of Diamond 32309 in Solihull this morning. It looked as though the wing mirror had been involved.

All the later tridents at BC that I have seen recently, with the exception of 4594-6 have ad blue tanks fitted, even the ones not yet repainted crimson. This could be the reason BC are able to release some of the earlier tridents. Some of the YW 45XX tridents also have the ad blue tanks.

4911 on BC73.

6703 on the 73E this afternoon from Lode Heath School to the Yew Tree.

Some of the 44XX Tridents at BC seem to have ad blue tanks fitted although it is not easy to spot on the newly painted ones.

Over the past few months I have observed the Sunny fleet as follows;
101 LF 52 TKD.
102 LF 52 TJX.
103 LF 52 TKJ.
104 LF 52 TKC.
105 KV 03 ZFU.
106 YT 51 DZZ.
107 W 319 VGX.
I haven't seen 102 for sometime but the others work regularly. They appear to need 5 vehicles for the service.

YW 4363 on BC 59C this morning.

I assume the 139 buses at Coventry mentioned in Coach and Bus Weekly is the pvr.

Thanks Tony and 2206, I think the one I am misreading is Y338FJN. I saw it again in bad light and from the front thought it read 381, but the rear plate was clearly 338. I will check it out next time I see and decide whether the front plate is confusing or I need new glasses.

Another route which could be affected by the emissions regulations is the 10H on which Igo uses 02 reg Darts.
