On the same website they are advertising the remaining 5 Presidents for sale at silly prices

http://hillscoachsales.com/coach-sales/bus/2001-volvo-b7l-plaxton-president/

Surprised 9286 is still here along with the other 4, unless that listing is long out of date, it must be long term VOR

Also noticed 9287's MOT expiry date is 21/05/15, that explains why the HC4 allocation has changed to 6393!

Also MR05AVY the HC3 coach has been sold??

No way will they sell them at that price... Ensign's 03 tridents are only £16k fully dda and similar age, admittedly 2 door, B7tl/President's are £9k.

While investigating the 53, I found the Alma Street depot on streetview with vehicles inside, and then when I next looked at the screen the sign on the gate had changed to "Thandi have moved"!
;
streetview shows an Omnilink or similar in the new yard, directly opposite the Hawthorns!
;
PSVC have Nottingham 212 ex Stagecarriage, Grangetown.

If you look at Google Earth it still shows Thandi Red coaches in Alma Street, yet the Midland Metropolitan Hospital just down the road on the opposite side hasn't even been started. Carillion went bust in Jan 2018 and the hospital was fairly well on by then.

I notice that the 53 shows Smithwood on its destination display. One of my pet peevs is sloppy destination displays!

Considering that they didn't even have the 53 destination display for the first week of operation, I'll gladly take it.

I see the 53 isn't showing on stop BS14 anymore, just the ☓12 and ☓70 again. Has it gone already?

It doesn't run on sundays and yesterday was a Sunday service.

I think they mean that it isn't showing on the stop flags?

It won't show on the electronic departure screens if there are no services

Yes, it's showing again now. Wasn't aware the electronic ones did that to reflect it not running on a Sunday.

Just seen this bus again today, making its pointless journey around Lanchester Way, Smith's Wood.

The blind still says "Smithwood" on it. I assume it is a Thandi (Red) bus, as it was in an all white livery with no sign of any logos on the side.
