58 and 31 are going to interwork.

"From this date the NXWM 31 service will have a new route to/from Acocks Green via Gospel Lane, Redstone Road, Streetbrook Road, Olton Road, Stratford Road, Solihull Road, Sharmans Cross Road to/from Solihull. It will then become a service 58 at Solihull for the service upto Yardley.

Passengers will be allowed to travel through Solihull when it changes route number.
The timetables for the 31 and 58 routes will be revised."


I wander if that means some of those 8XX E200 might get onto the 58 as well as the 31 which they currently get used on?

Anyone inform me what the council are actually doing in Selly Oak. From the retail park up to Bristol road one lane closed yet no workers present causing massive delays. The council really are useless

I think it's generally clear 6147/8 won't be branded, both having tachographs.

Currently sat on 4651 in chelmsley wood, I love the paint job but I am slightly disappointed that the seats are still in nxwm grey. In my opinion I would have liked to see the seats re done in a period correct design to match the paintwork.

Not having red plastic seats in a current bus, sorry!

No no I wouldn't want to.go back to the red plastic covers as that would be idiotic what I meant was re creating the design but in the current materials

It's highly unlikely NX would sanction a brand new moquette design specific to one Hertitage Bus only, it would cost stupid money only buying enough for 4651 & a bit of spare.

I think it is the first time on there since repaint

Jack

@Eric Shaw, Crimson E400MMC's are usual on the 5/73.

Eric Shaw

They are Jack, bit I think this was 6114's first duty at AG after from PN.

Jack

I've just noticed 4667 doesn't have a trap, was this deliberate or missed out?
