The 70 currently stops with the other Washwood Heath Road services though

Yeah, when loading on an outbound service, which makes sense. But the 73 going from there makes no sense at all.
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

I've heard rumours that the crimson tridents are having new doors, similar to the E400s. Can anyone confirm, I think it's BS but still...

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.

Anyone know if 4466 will be in service by Saturday?

Sure I just saw 2140, the one that smashed into a tree near Five Ways, on the X64. Didn't look like it had any major repaint work, still had black destination surrounds unlike 2142.

Yes, 2140 is back in service

@Tony No offence intended but it hasn't been mentioned about it being the same RB.

No, but every night we get an unusual working of a platinum on the 29, clue is it is being reported every night!

Trident 4194

So does it come of a school service, or is it only for peak times?

Was hoping this would come back Crimson. The livery seems to suit every vehicle. These Volvos are great buses, be nice to see what it'll look like.

Won't paint one offs, buses will be done in complete batches

Just spotted at 29 heading down swarthmore road towards Birmingham at 22.40 - must have followed the old route by mistake.

29 has been on diversion this week. From Northfield down the Bristol then swings a left at Griffins Brook Bridge. Name of the road escapes me...

4466 been on the 97 all day, but had been used as a change bus and is currently on the 24/29
