Another one sorted!

All new refurbs are getting the same moquette as new deliveries!

Yeh, let's build a bus station in Birmingham capable of taking all of Birmingham's routes. Just think about what you are asking for and how much land it would take. No large city has one for one simple reason, just to buy the land would probably run into billions of pounds before you had even built the roads to feed it and caused chaos with hundreds of buses trying to enter and leave every hour.

This photo of 4524 first day out after repaint show the different shade of white now being used (second photo down page)

They probably should tbf 101 is useless now as I did serve the entire city centre at one point.

101 is hardly 'useless' and can someone tell me what the point of starting a new service down Coproration Street is now, when Corporation Street is being closed altogether in 3 months?

It is the little G1 in the very top left corner of the home page

I'm still convinced they're using different paint davey.....and not before time either!

Looks like they have reverted to cargo white as on TWM Livery as opposed to brilliant white

The 123.

The 123 was just two routes taken over and joined together. The Perry Barr to Bearwood section has a very long history (WMPTE 40 until deregulation, then Midland Red West 440)

Fleet changes just arrived, but I haven't got chance to do them (long list) before going to work. Will be put on tonight

Just checked this out. There is only 3308 at Temple Mills, The power/driving car was not attached in January, is it now?
3307 was taken to Technicentre Le Landy in Paris and is being used for spares there.

I should have the full list of April changes tomorrow

errrr. They do, see note above about packed Geminis as well as the Bendis. Biggest problem is most of the buses get stuck at Pype Hayes in the non-movong traffic so can only do one trip each.
I used to like driving 28E extras from Washwood heath 30 years ago with fleetlines, but the chaos and the Chav invasion was nowhere near as bad those days

Looks like 4826 might have got to Walsall for a repaint. It is definately getting a retrim.

Another is 639 to BC (which ventured onto the Pershore Road today so could get into the unusual workings section as well)

Tony it still only says 'new to Perry Barr' in the history, that may be what he's seen.
