 "OJB" was parked on the main coach park in Stratford upon Avon @ 14.00 yesterday. Sorry for only just posting this but my PC was on a go slow last night . . . . .  :o 

The 143/149 services off Redditch had a vehicle upgrade today - for one day only ? ! ! ?  I travelled on one Streetlite, passed another and later noted a Signature Versa as well. On the downside,SJ04DVL was also on the 143/149 route, sounding "loud" and with a fair bit of clag as it went up New Road on its way out of Bromsgrove.  :o   

how many extra buses will they need for the new services in Hereford

A post on the MidlandRed.net forum suggests "between 12 and 19" Solo's.  8)

Fleet Update 03/08/15



PN09CWR Ex Jamiesons Cullivoe as joined the fleet.

That's one to look for, vehicles from Shetland are not always seen in these parts.  8)

Are operating WA09DZT,a Sitcar bodied Mercs mini-bus. :)

GN14LPL and BV63OES on service in Stratford upon Avon this afternoon.[ Other local coaches noted were YN15ELW - Harry Shaw,MC64MEC - Meadway,WH11CHR - Wickson and C9HCR - Hardings. ] 8)

Hi @B61 ANDREW, I think you'll find it was P454BAP and it's one of their Evergreen, Smethwick fleet.  Saw it myself recently, I think, on the A38 Minworth.

Thanks for that. I reckon I saw the vehicle about a month ago in Cotteridge.  :)

Hi all. Can anyone help me with this one please? Just found a crumpled piece of paper in a trouser pocket with "P454BAB/Thandi" scribbled on it. :-[  Any help appreciated - thanks. Andrew. :)

Airshuttles FJ54ZDK was "coned off" on the hard shoulder of the northbound M5, south of Worcester just before 6 pm yesterday.   ???

YY15NHO on the 318 in Bromsgrove earlier.   :)

There were probably a few thrown around the floor of one of the buses like there normally is

Classic.  :D

 20976 on Route 247 again yesterday lunchtime. 8)

 Back to one of the usual Mercs on these services yesterday - DK55NLF,[the other being "NLG"]. Both of these are 16 seaters and both are "step entrance", is there a time limit for how much longer they can be used on stage work or does the seating capacity of 16 exempt them from new regulations ??  :)

Noted in use on Cofton's Bromsgrove Town services yesterday was SF15JPV, a Mellor demonstrator on a Fiat "chassis".  :D
