I lost a lot of interest from 2010 when all metrobuses was withdrawn.

The only other be vechile type I really like is Volvo B10L which I am quite sad to see go.

I remember first seeing 1458 around 2005 the only B10L at Yardley Wood refurbished digital blinds and stuck to Route 84. I rarely saw it on anything else until 2009.

It did venture onto the 27 from time to time but wasn't very often! I remember before its withdrawal the Side and Back Dot Matrix blinds kept getting stuck on previous routes (particularly a problem when the 2/3/3A all interworked!)

No more B6's on the 141. . . . . . There are still Red Diamond buses as they appear quite frequently on my local route the 40 route Wednesbury to West Bromwich.

Hmm well, quite a lot there!

New Stourbridge bus station, in my opinion still too big and expensive for its role but nonetheless looks good

BC operating the 9, less reliably than PE in my opinion, but then the frequency was lower back then I believe

Presidents on the 9, or any other frequent city centre route for that matter, shame as they are decent buses and better than some older Tridents

And PE were still sampling 1908 version 1! A Enviro 300, really wasn't a fan, out of the three times I was on it it broke down twice, was noisy, cramped and believe the drivers didn't like it
