I mentioned that one on Thursday, would think its due for removal. Arriva 4765 in Leicester is also carrying the same advert

In addition; 4139 is looking in a sorry state after, what looks like, an overall side advert removed. That'll be the next one at Walsall I expect.

I agree LS 4139 deserves a refurb got on 4139 on the 60 a week or two ago and some of the seats are worn

Oh without a shadow of a doubt, its rough. The upper saloon has damaged seat backs, all burnt and damaged and etched.

How did the offside lower panels look when there was no adverts? When I drove 4139, it had the UWE advert, with a nice scrape all along the bottom of the offside because a woman in a Mercedes drove into me on Broad Street

Hi Chris,

It had the blue paint scraped off for about 4 foot on the lower offside skirts, with slight gouging. I thought it was caused by the advert being removed, or not as the case now seems.

Sorry about late response. How deep was the scrape? The length of the scrape on the vinyl ad was from the front offside corner all the way to the rear wheel where her car was embedded, about a foot to foot and a half deep. I wish I had the photos off the acci-cam, but  they're probably lying about at BC somewhere. Mr K even tried to blame me for it when I handed in the VIR

45/51 = 1st Pershore Road bus out.

/5 = Pershore Road prefix. Been like that forever. It was to do with no confusion/system conflict if you had 63/01 and 45/01 you see.
