Mighty Travels have acquired Irizar i6 YN17 OJF from JKT International.

This has been given the Private Reg M400 HTY and is now back from PSVAR conversion. Also OW15 WKE is now M700 HTY and Ex Edwards BX65 WCZ is M300 HTY. M700 and M300 have been private plated for months now. 

Heard on the NX enthusiast Facebook group that a PB electric bus had suffered extensive damage on New Street, can anyone confirm this?

I have pictures of it. It was on Smallbrook Queensway at the time. However im not going to share the pictures but i wouldnt say it's  "Extensive" damage.

Not 4890, that's a BC bus on the 95

My mistake sorry tony. 

So far I've seen 4992, 4757,4836,4890,4752 and 4761. As well as Brit coaches. 

NXWM have several vechiles out from today (Monday 28th) till Thursday 31st on Rail Replacement Birmingham Snow Hill to Stourbridge Junction. 

EPC was parked there at 16.10 causing a problem for a school coach which drew up alongside and couldn't make the turn and, probably wisely, then chose to back off rather than continue along Railway Street and try to get out that way. I thought it was still there when I came back from the pub around 20.00 and didn't register it being a different one - if it was both have an advert for Stagecoach MegaRider in the first offside window.

Other vehicles noted were OW15WKC, who's owner I can't recall, which had both front and rear screens scrolling between "Departs 14.10" and "LNw Replacement to Rugby". No idea what the rationale for the 14.10 departure time was about 13.45 a clearly exasperated announcer had directed Rugeley passengers to the "public bus" and the rest via Birmingham.

Orbit E21ORB was there at 12.50 , I assumed having arrived from Rugby, but never heard it announced as going back.

OW15 WKC is owned by "Mighty Travels"

YW 1912 was involved in a minor RTC with a Megabus coach yesterday. 

I've just had a quick look on Bus View and the fleet of Southern Coachlines looks to be very varied and interesting. 

It was a tourismo last time so who knows.

The Green Bus, South Staffs, Cymru Coaches, solus coaches, Lingburg and Southern Coachlines will be out on Sunday.  Operating for XC between Leamington Spa, Banbury and Oxford. And Leamington Spa - Didcot Parkway direct if anyone is interested

The Green Bus, South Staffs, Cymru Coaches, solus coaches, Lingburg and Southern Coachlines will be out on Sunday and maybe Saturday operating for XC between Leamington Spa, Banbury and Oxford. And Leamington Spa - Didcot Parkway direct if anyone is interested.

Diamond are going with the jubilee bus I believe.

[We understand Warwick County Council intend to tender a replacement service for withdrawn Solihull to Stratford section.]

In the case of the X20 between Stratford & Solihull, the actual wording is:

Will operate current timetable in full until 14/8/22. From 14/8/22 service will operate between Coventry to Solihull only. We understand Warwick County Council intend to tender a replacement service for withdrawn Solihull to Stratford section.

I've heard from drivers that the 8 Rifle range to Hales Park via Kidderminster is being withdrawn from 28/08/22 and replaced by the 2 Kidderminster - Bewdley and not serving Hales Park or Rifle Range.

Seen Ex sapphire E400 4402 in Derby depot today in the base arriva Livery. Also noted another Sapphire 110 E400 at the back of derby Garage.

Hi Simon, who can I speak to regarding an injury I got off one of your buses?if
