The 1 set of gates are being moved down to the pavement allowing the site to house upto 30 vehicles.

Rob, is that the Moorsom St end? I've just had a look on the City Council planning search & the Miller St site at present still only has planning consent for use as a coach depot for 14 NX coaches. Presume a new application has gone in,

My money would be on DeCourcey starting commercial services if Citaros are on order, can't see top end single deckers being used on tendered / contract services

According toRoute 1 magazine de Courcey have won the NEC shuttle contract from Aug 1st using 10 vehicles supplemented with up to 20 from the rest of the fleet.

Well done to Travel De Courcey-will this mean that the Blue Diamond darts come off it and are sold? I imagine so and it will really give the nec a top class bus service!

Well done to DeCourcey, looks like I was wrong re: starting commercial services, yet another loss for Rotala's West Midlands business.

I thought the NEC shuttle buses were outstationed at the NEC currently?

Rob, if the NEC shuttles will be garaged in the yard at the NEC, why is there a need to expand Decourcey Birmingham depot to accommodate 30 vehicles?

I was at MIller ST a couple of weeks ago and there was a De courcey van there.

The first of the battery powered Versa's has arrived in green with green leather seats and wood flooring for the Park & Ride South.

Ash · April 21, 2012, 11:05:27 PM

What will happen to the PRS south mcv buses will they be repainted and put onto normal routes once the versa's enter service?
