Has anyone noticed 4164 has an overall ad? Very bright and eye catching.
It's rear ad didnt last long...

I sincerely hope so. Some of my earliest childhood bus memories are of the 62 Rednal route.

Well perhaps they're gonna do what I thought they were going to do anyway.

62 remains the same except it serves the Q.E via the Selly Oak bypass, put onto the Bristol Rota. the "X64" leaves city like the current 98/99 to the Q.E, then onwards Normal route to Weoley Castle and such, (insert 21 route here), renumbered the 25, say.

The 99 is just the same just numbered 26 for neatness or what have you. And maybe shipped off to Pensnett.

Or this 62 in question is a WMSNT or Diamond incarnation.

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.

Hadn't actually got into service when I checked, yes 6715 did a trip on the Bristol Road

Cheers @Tony think that's a first.

4159 passed me this morning on Priory Queensway on the 14, confused the hell out of me because from a distance the overall Spectre advert made me think it was an Arriva bus
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Now THAT'S a rare working.
Been informed that there's a Platinum on the 24? True? (Dying on the inside because it's one of my "commuting" services - haha! ::) )
