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

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?

Yes

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.

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