Just noticed the 3 new coaches for BC on your coach fleetlist on the main site.
Are BC getting new coaches to replace their whole fleet of coaches used on JLR services at Gaydon and Whitley, as you did say all 23 at BC and CV are only temporary?

All 23 being rounded up from around the country are temporary

Or are they only getting the 3 at present?

I thought they were also meant to be the first 2 axle Levante 3's?

These 3 are from a cancelled order from another operator

That explains them being on Scania chassis then aswell.

4939 is on the X22.

e400s aren't really noteworthy on the ☓22, @2206.

At least 3 Tridents where on the University services this evening - 2 46XX and 4445.

that has happened a lot recently! I know one of their Platinums was involved in an RTC

Here's an article from 2016

I'll hazard a guess it was probably just a bit of banter on the driver's half ???

we always do it 😂😂 sometimes I put another route on😂

[BusDriverBosh]

The x1/x2/60 stop rammed with over an hundred people. inspectors present.

I was the first one that they radioed to help out, coming into Birmingham doing a 60 with 4179 and got a radio call asking to help

@Tony will the x1/2 branding be changed? It's looking very outdated. And the route cards on the x1 are still advertising old routes that have changed since

More to the point will the front and back of the 23/24 and Uni buses ever be done?

Whats wrong with it? It doesn't look outdated in anyway to me, they updated the frequency and external branding on the X1/X2 branded buses after the changes in 2017?

I presume you mean the internal route maps on the ceiling, its not just the X1 but the X2 as well, it would be good if they updated and put new route maps on the University, Harborne and Coventry Rd buses buses.
Either that or just have the internal route maps completely removed of the ceilng of the X1/X2 MMC (and leaving them without the internal vinyls like the X20/X21/X22 and 23/24 MMC).

@Nx Sam,

E400's are usual on the Uni and Harborne services, they are the second type when there's not enough Platinums.
