If anyone fancies venturing out to see something different tonight
These are the first test runs of the class 230 (EX LT Tube stock)

Can it be confirmed that LM are to trial one of these units ??  ;D Also, I guess they can run with Classes 150/170 etc ??  ???

 Thank you all for the photos , its nice to see what " the future " looks like.  ;D

I was hoping anyone who went would be kind enough to post some photographs.  :)

 Anyone from this forum attending this trade event ??  8)

A "new" LDV being used my MRD is MX55WUP , new to Solihull MBC.

New Mercs glimpsed in Fridays  Birmingham evening rush hour , YN66ENO.

 Interesting to see what happens if you drive a dual-power car, electric and "traditional fuel."  How will the folks who monitor traffic by CCTV know if the car is in electric or "traditional fuel" mode ??  Could be fun !  :)

Stagecoach or an independent operator of your choice will do nicely.  :) :)

 Nicely done, how about a Optare Solo please.  :D :D

KV03 ZFS was on the 11 on Friday with one headlight not working at all and the other flashing on and off as it went past Stechford

  Some kind of distress call maybe ?? ??  ??? ;D

 This is interesting because it would appear that the two brothers involved with GHA and RJ's have been banned by the traffic commissioners yesterday from holding operators licences. Information from www.ronsbusesandcoaches.com - an excellent site for info on North Wales operators. It has also come to light through the administrators that "some" vehicles are/were owned by the two brothers, not GHA - the plot thickens [if there is/was a plot of course].  :-\  ;) 

YT10WLL according to a post on the Midland Red net forum. Thankfully no injuries reported as the coach was returning to depot.

 16873 about in Stratford this afternoon.

They would have been on delivery to London

I can go along with that but would not the M4 be a more direct route ??   It would appear that on Monday I saw another [ex] "London Bus " in the shape of KN52NDU , now used by Bristol Television and Film Services.  :)
                 

 H All.   Not too clued up about "London Buses" so can anyone say why I observed MHV 60/65 heading north on the M5 by J5 yesterday lunchtime ??  Both un-registered / on trade plates.  Thanks in advance. Andrew.  :)
