One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

I saw 6711 parked outside the Pavilions with Not in service showing around 8:30 an inspector was on talking to the driver I think to send him back to garage he said to the driver to be careful. But couldn't get a picture properly as I did not have a clear shot & when I did it drove off plus the sun made it awkward too

BC are still taking delivery of Platinum MMCs so expect to still see the standard Enviro 400s

Hi John, These can come off the noteworthy threads from today. The intention is to brand the two above for the Pershore Road soon!


Would be nice to see the branding on these buses... I have a feeling the branding would go along the lines of the Soho Road branding, i.e

Birmingham City centre | Edgbaston | Pershore Road ~ or something similar... Turquoise branding, anyone?
