 Thanks for the above info DMCL. The GOV UK site say its a 2008 vehicle .

That was the best one using CM6 motorway coaches!

Yes , big regrets that I never went for it. Some of the "dp" vehicles used on some of the other 'X' services were rather basic by comparison.   

A while yet. Bits missing off of it.

Thanks CL. I won't ask which bits !!  It's the only 'diesel' bus in the fleet that I have not yet seen . . . .  

I think I must have travelled on almost all of the 'X - services' from Birmingham but I cannot recall ever having a trip on the X44.   

I know that 6821 has been out of circulation for some time but does anyone know if it is likely to be back in use at any time soon please. 

The 'Midland Red' 144 to go back to running through to Birmingham - although I doubt it would  happen.   

Caetano's T200NDY and T300NDY both at Crewe on rail replacement today - photos elsewhere suggest they've been owned since Feb - am I missing something?

Busview suggest June/July 2022.  I am continually amazed how some vehicles seem to "hide" from view for month's on end. 

One of Kevs red Solos with a tow truck in attendance in Bromsgrove bus station around lunchtime today.

I popped to Bromsgrove Station earlier this morning to see 2 x 56's head south and was rather amused to read on the platform train departure displays that the "First departure from Platform 3 was the 2203 to Lichfield formed of 12 coaches . . . . ".   

Z4001/6/7 around today. 

And as previously mentioned - plenty of them about again today . [ And I have still not seen them all ! ]

Any connection to Deluxe of Drakelow ??

 3 Ridley d/d's at AGS just before 15.00 this afternoon. 

I think green bus used to park up in alcester or somewhere by there as cheaper to park up than run back to depot unless they also done private hire for schools there

Yes , in the car park of Alcester Rugby Club along side the main A435 , as many as eight d/d's if my memory is correct. 

And National Express Coaches are running to and from the festival from various locations.
