Round Trips

[Jack]

Yes the buses are quite beastly. Meridian is a very nice little village, there isn't many NX routes with places as nice as Meriden. For photographing I like Parkhill Drive. Yes that part which goes around the Airport is one of the best parts and even better if you are interested in planes

The Voith Platniums are really good. I always hear a Voith Trident in them. I like how they sound like Washing Machines down dual carriageways being thrashed.

Meridian is stunning.

Yes I know how it's called and spelt. I nickname it Slutton for the rough women from Kingstanding who have taken over the place. I don't go as much as I did. The 451 is full of them most of the time.

Haha the old 107. I would like that to come back one day and put the 907 a limited stop service. Not serving New Oscott or Perry Barr.

4289 looked smart back then. It's a right mess and still needs a touch-up repaint.

You might think you're being funny, but actually you're not.

It's 'Sutton Coldfield' not 'Slutton', and its the 5, not the 451.

Consider yourself 'yellow-carded' - any more of this and you'll be taking a holiday from the forum.
