Only for maintenance.
267; 268 WA-WN

I'm guessing these were moved on trade plates as Walsall's coach fleet are SORN

I have been told at Heathrow that the managing and staffing at Heathrow Central Bus Station has transferred to Transdev from National Express

I have seen a few CCH Mercedes Sprinters with the Transdev logo going up and down the M4/A4

The stop outside Harborne Academy going towards city, if there was a bus already at the stop, the teachers tried flagging us down, however we used to carry on, otherwise we'd be obstructing the pedestrian crossing. All changed there now though

I think it was at Birmingham Central. Saw it heading south on the M6 while I was doing my return trip

Anyone know what BF68LDJ was up to in Birmingham today?

BX68 LCV is another, currently still at Caetano.

The system has BF60LCW also at Caetano, I wonder if this is an error and should be BF68LCW

Perhaps they should employ a few cats...

They could use some bardics if they've got any left lying around. A signalman I know from up north always use to have his bardic handy when he'd be working at a box with rats or mice

Where is the best place to report potholes on the road? The Quinton Road has been absolutely shocking for a while but it seems to be getting even worse and I feel like there's going to be an accident on that road if it's not sorted.

You might be pleased to know that some potholes have been filled in, Quinton Road was closed when I went out early this morning

I managed to have a look around it and get a photo of me in the seat. Spoke to the engineers on board and gave my opinion

Only a few names I recognise on there. I left the nx coach network for a couple of months but don't seem to recall seeing any changes post March, it's only over the past couple of months I've seen the changes

Me either

Judging by the appointment of OFJ Directors & resignation of NX Directors, the transfer of ownership took place 31st March 2016
