23 Enviro 400s on the Pershore Road this morning.

Looking very modern!

That would explain the number of Tridents on the 24. Been quite a few Tridents on there for the last week or two.

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.

You did. This vehicle was on the 501 this evening. Apparently three have been branded so far.

Didn't get a pic as I was on the 98 going up Smallbrook Queensway.

Didn't have any rear branding as it still has the Twycross Zoo megarear. Saw 4913 too with a drivemybus advert over the rear windows

At least 2 non platinum enviros are on the 957 today
