NX had to train their own drivers to make the charge last as long as possible

From what I heard, the 34 isn't being retendered/replaced.

68A/C is being merged with the 424 which is currently out for tender. 34 is withdrawn due to low usage and won't be retendered.

Was talking to a driver yesterday and was told by them that apparently Tividale are getting 2 Streetdecks (not known which ones) from Manchester for the 94 and 2 Mellors from Tividale (don't know which ones) are going to Manchester in there place how true that is I don't know however if it is would be strange seeing Diamond double deckers in Birmingham!
