Landflight (formerly Silverline)

[Jack D]

Saw some speculation of Landflight covering the withdraw NX 58 from Jan, any confirmation of this or is it rumours?

[Rachvince53]

As explained elsewhere,  service 58 will be replaced by new Stagecoach service A9.

All Landflight services suspended due to the weather but also it seems they were struggling to reach Lode Lane from the garage, as the council hadn't gritted Vulcan or Boulton Road ( saw a tweet from Landflight). This despite it being yards away from where the gritting lorries are based on Moat Lane!

I noticed Landflight have a new bus? YX21 RVK was doing the A8 this evening around 8pm

Temporary replacement for YW68PFD, following an RTC.

Does anyone know what bus did the 1620 A8, I forgot to log it on busmiles - and it didn't track on bustimes.

It was PFJ. Looks like the driver logged the incorrect trip to begin with.

When did landflight get announcements onboard their buses?

September, although not fitted to all of the fleet.

September, although not fitted to all of the fleet.

Presumably just the newer vehicles, so they are compliant with the new regulations?

Yes, some of the fleet is also due to be replaced so not worthwhile retrofitting.

I have to say you guys are a credit to the local bus industry, your average fleet age is around 6 years old, and your oldest vehicle is from 2016, and you're already looking at replacing older vehicles!

You've come a long way since you got your first Euro6 vehicles - I recall working at Unipart in Solihull at the time and we sorted you out with your first 205L barrel of Adblue delivered direct to your depot!

I really must try and have a ride on more of your routes around Solihull next year!
