Saw a few TGB Presidents parked at the International Station. Both were Ex-NX Presidents, V47 MOA (Ex 4047) and  another which I couldn't see the Reg plate.

There's quite a few operators I've seen on all of the Rail Replacements. National Express West Midlands and Coventry are on the Birmingham to Coventry rail replacements today.

It was definitely not 4051 as that is on All-Over White, the one I saw and didn't identify was in red and white.

Looks like the message of where to stop at some stations hasn't quite got through to the drivers. Waiting at Tile Hill and two buses go past over the bridge without having actually come into the industrial estate to the official bus stop
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....
