6955 on the X8 Dudley to Blackheath yesterday. Noticed it has Red upper wrapper instead of the purple it had in Coventry. Thought the purple would match the regular 67xx's on the X8.
Everything inside still registering Coventry though.

4833 on the 6 at Russell's Hall tonight.

Would not supprise me if the volos will stop with whittles as there fleet is all volos
 i have seen a ford  painted  in whittles livery  is that ex johnsons

If by 'Ford' you are referring to a 'transit' style minibus, then no, it was a second hand purchase and has never operated for Johnsons

Current the following ex-Johnsons vehicles are working out of Kidderminster. Some are temporary loans...
Midi Coaches: LFL (permanent)
Midi Coaches: Yu Tongs - SVC, SVD
49 Seater Coach: Plaxton Volvo - NYA
53 Seater Coach: Plaxton Volvo - NYC

Alexander/Dennis E400 SN 65 OJA plus at least one other of the three have been painted in all over yellow pending sale to Bournemouth Yellow Bus. They are due to leave the fleet within the next few days.

LGD Heading to sunny Torquay for 5 days. LGC went at the crack of dawn to the Forest of Bowland and the Ribble Valley, again back on Friday. Great to see tour customers back on board once again.

Sorry the second one is YT21LGD

Luxury Traveller Vehicles now delivered.
Irizar i8's YT21LGC & YR21LGD
Open Day for viewing and little test runs on Fri & Sat 14/15 May
Between 10.00-16.00
They look oh so smart and will be the bench mark for future touring vehicles.

that's  where i am going. i was booked to on the launch  trip last year  so will keep every thing crossed too

Look What's Coming. They've been in a compound for 12 months but are about to hit the road next month. They will be re-registered 21 plates[/img]

Longridge Fell & the Forest of Bowland staying at the Gibbon Bridge Hotel is the first one lined up on the 17 May... we are keeping everything crossed.

Any one know if the luxury  traveler coaches  that where due last year but stored due to covid, have arrived yet

They are coming w/c 10 May. Hopefully the first one will operate its first tour on 17 May - the first day possible for operating holidays. Fingers Crossed.

There are two coming.

Slightly unusual working on the X8 yesterday - Saw 3/4 Branded 2021 in Rowley Regis heading towards Dudley

Crimson WN 2028 on X8 in Rowley Regis just before 8.00pm tonight. Obviously the PN batch were regulars on the 140 from new but never seen one of Wolverhampton's here before.

Unbranded Platinum 6762 on the X8 in Blackheath tonight. Rarely see buses so early in WN batch on this route... As it is so close to PN I was wondering whether it misses its sisters 6759-61 which have just moved or whether it has indeed itself moved to PN?
