4481 not tracking on the 20/48 today. Must say this one really does sound like a MK1 B7RLE great whine too it.

Surprised to see they have repainted 30410 into the new livery. Looks very smart.

Because its a contracted service supported by Staffordshire CC.

To extend it to Kidderminster would require additional resource, which costs money.

They could replace the 580 with the extension however.

With all these transfers, how soon do they plan on Debranding the vehicles? Sutton branded operating on the 12/12A. Vehicles on the 16 need to be Debranded. Are there plans to brand new vehicles?

I hope there is CCTV and evidence of these apparent occurrences otherwise these are some serious allegations that are being posted on an enthusiasts forum without the driver/operators in question able to defend themselves.

Sounds like people on here want to sack drivers and services not to run, these issues should be reported to the appropriate authorities and through the correct channels to be investigated, not on an enthusiasts forum!

Is this the new Rotala board where people want drivers in trouble without properly reporting them through the correct channels?

I've said before that a driver was smoking whilst driving. 

Had a ride on both 4515 and 4518 today.

Still incredible vehicles to travel on. Both of them were incredibly noisy too, very beastly engine.

These in my opinion are much better than the tridents. 

These new vehicles are rapid however. And are finished too a good standard. They will work on some routes I'm sure. 

3006 been on the 110 yesterday and today? Anyone seen it?

They come with radio's built in.  There is no legislation stopping the radio's being played.  Historically we have removed/ disabled the radio's.  We have yet to decide whether we will do this on these.

I find a lot of customers prefer radios being played. Kevs still enable radios on their vehicles.


I have seen the new electric bus in tividale depot. When will this be used in service?

Redditch depot doesn't have enough vehicles to operate the 3 additional PVR.  We are currently looking to acquire a few.  Most of the depot is now Streetlite, so I would imagine these will end up on the route at some point.

Does this have to be euro 6 operated? 

30409/30410/30411 all these b7s sound like they're dying they always are hitting the rev limiter

They've been like that for ages. They still are some of the best buses in the fleet for long distance high speed journies. I had 30410 on the 125 a few months back wonderful drive.


3082* has broken down in Halesowen on the 192

63 (Cannock - Rugeley) will be extended on the 10th June to Uttoxeter.

63 will be serving Hednesford, Rugeley, Brereton, Armitage, Handsacre, Hill Ridware, Abbots Bromley and Uttoxeter.

63 will remain an hourly service

Nice additional connection being provided 

20057 blinds not working yesterday 

19:40 out of euston showing on RTT as 20 coach pendolino? Surely not right. 

Midland classic had a good reputation. Diamond probably keep them on tactically to make customers think nothing has changed
