2077 on loan to WA

1800 as well

According to BUSES magazine, Alexander Dennis will be exhibiting one of the Transdev Harrogate E400EVs on their stand, along with a London-spec E100EV; the latter being revealed on their social media pages earlier today.

In regards to E334, last I heard, it has completed the build stage and was spotted on road test but still awaits a trip to the paint shop.

Just saw a bus on Soho Road with the blind "Stourbridge Junction" with no route number. What's that about?

The bus was a grey E400 and it's not being currently tracked on bustimes

It'll be on rail replacement. On until tomorrow.

End of the 28 branded

Noted 1864, 1867, and 1872 all debranded today.

It would've just been down to human error while drawing the blind up in the desktop Hanover software.

754 on its way back to West Bromwich now

The main site and its accompanying photo page still shows NXWM 1912 on fleet strength at Yardley Wood (withdrawn April 2024)

As I understand, 1908 (BZL) has seen service these past few days but isn't tracking.

I was wondering whether anyone had times for it out of Coventry/whether it's still out.

Two more today

6798 marked for transfer also

I believe the Citaro is the current favourite at present.

Just going off what I've heard (nothing technically official) - MB is a good contender; the eCitaro is very stylish, but (supposedly) the lack of customisation is a big red flag.

I'm hoping the BZL fare well. While I'm not the biggest fan of their design styling overall, I'm hoping they might feel a little less clinical than any Yutong I've had the pleasure of sampling.

That said, I don't suppose there'd be any scope for a GB Kite Electroliner demonstrator at any point? I don't think a sole demonstrator actually exists, so any trials would have to be loaned from another operator it seems (as per the Yutong).

Re: E252

Looks like it did a circuit of the Outer Circle to mark the launch of a new exhibit at the Library of Birmingham - hence appearing in those parts of the city today
