Do the YW B10L stay on the 27 nowadays or do they sneak into the City Centre occasionally?

Not really any more, well not that I've seen. They have stayed on the 27 lately.

There was one on the 6 the other evening!  8)

Shame 1480 is going, one of my favs (although sounded rather rough last time i rode it so can understand why)

Tony,

Your pics of 1802, 1806 and 1807 show these Omnilinks still in Coventry with 'NX Coventry' logos; I presume these were just temporary then, and they'll be returning to BY soon? (and have the correct logos reapplied, or even repainted?)

(I hope so, then it will stop the excited squeals from the girls on the NXC Facebook page whenever they spot one!  ;D)

They will return as soon as Coventry get 4837-42 back on the road

Presumably being returned following their spell at Walsall.

Have all of the borrowed scanias Walsall had gone to BY yet or will a few still be used at Walsall until all the enviro 400's are back on the road. Does any one know where for definite the BY mercs will be going.

I don't know if they have all the Scanias have left now, but all of Walsall's Enviros are now back in service

These changes will give Bordesley the newest fleet at an average age of 4 years and 10 months. Average of the whole fleet is 8 years and 5 months old.

BY will then only have 3 of its fleet in NX livery (1790, 1792 & 1833)

[Nathan4775]

Only just noticed that the 17 has gone back to the route it followed in the year 2000 to tile cross. Any other BY routes simalar too this ?

[JB93]

Do you mean it's changed to go straight ahead from the Radleys under the other rail bridge or it goes left past the Airparks depot to the terminus, because it's done that second one for a very long time now.

[Nathan4775]

Not sure of the roads it took etc, found a timetable telling me about the 17 to Tile Cross, one with the 14 to Marston Green I think and the 14A ran to C'Wood, I found a fair few
