Yesterday afternoon Birmingham Busworks delivered a nice shiny silver Enviro200 to Banga Buses. This is their largest vehicle in the fleet and will be used on Shropshire services. 

Noticed an UID Gemini heading south on the M5 in Gloucestershire this afternoon in the two tone green colours devoid of fleet names, could have just been a local operator who hasn't bothered to put fleet names on it or could it be on delivery from Green bus/ Birmingham coach works

John Dix. They have 405 and 416. The other 2 that were in that livery are now painted. One painted white with Bill's minibuses and one cream and blue with Fourways Coaches.

Who knows it a bit of light hearted speculation as requested by ABBW, if you bet on a horse race you pick one and hope for the best, no real need for that come back.

There's photos on the website of one of them now.

Just says still in service with major operator in London £44,500 each and are Euro 6

Let the speculation begin. They're 12-plates too. 

Blue and yellow E200 broken down on M6 southbound between J6 and J5 about 10:15 this morning, not sure if this was one of the examples that busworks were selling or one that has already been sold on.

Mods feel free to move to breakdown thread, posted in wrong place

Not quite broken down. It blew a pipe off, engineer attended and it was returned back to Birmingham. 

It was on its way to the paintshop, it's going next week. But what colour will it be when it comes back 

Yes that is Birmingham bus works depot they have a mixture of vehicles they have ex Lothian gemenis, I think they still have a DublinBus in there and they have some national express vehicles and stagecoach vehicles. And then they still have a few of the buses that the green bus used which are for sale.

• The Ex-Dublin bus was dropped off at Busworks after the delivery driver crashed it on the way to its owner down south. Busworks repaired the panel and the company picked it up last month.
• There are two National Express buses on site at the minute. 4538 and 4318, the latter was collected from Walsall last week. Both for sale for £6,000 each.
• Three Stagecoach vehicles on site. One Volvo B7RLE which was purchased from it's previous owner last week. Dennis Trident 18351 which is now under offer for preservation and an Enviro400 which is being salvaged for usable parts before going to a bus graveyard in the sky.
• All the buses operated by TheGreenBus have been sold and will be with new owners by September.
• There's also a number of Adventure Travel buses, 2 former Whippets buses, 3 Ex-Lothian buses and a partridge in a pear tree. 
• There's also an Ex-Stagecoach coach in the yard too. 

In the photo of 4826 leaving Miller Street I presume that's BBW yard in the back ground which appears to show ex Lothian Geminis and London E400s or do they still belong to The Green Bus, it's been a while since The Green Bus ceased running are these just dumped rotting away, also on BBWs website they are advertising 20 Enviro 400s coming soon for resale

All of the buses which were used by TheGreenBus were sold a while ago. 600 and 607 remain, both long term VOR but being repaired as and when time allows. 

Ooooh 20 Enviro400s... but where from?

The two buses supplied to Mikro, Crewe both photographed yesterday - 4452 has lost its fleetnumber and has some paint damage where the fleetnames have been removed, but 4664 still carrying them but its fleetnames have come off cleanly.
Neither has a name yet.

Have you found the Lothian B7TL Birmingham Busworks sold to them yet?

Birmngham Busworks there for MOT 

I passed milller street the other day where Birmingham bus works depot is, there was a Dublin bus in the yard. Anyone know what this is please.

It's a Volvo B9TL with ADL E500 bodywork.

Thanks for that.  So sorry to pester you again, I should have added this to my original message . . . . Is there another SP04---  Trident on site then ? Or do I go to Specsavers. LOL.   

SP04 DBX is in the yard but will be gone shortly.

Hi Folks. Quick question. Is Trident SP04DBY still on site ?? 

Was never on site. 

This one was delivered direct to the customer from Arbroath. 

The website still lists ex-NXC Geminis and ex-NXWM B7RLEs.
