Was in Womborne about 1715, following 4567 on the 255, when 4568 passed in the opposite direction. This probably happens quite often but first time i have seen it!

I've seen 4006 with "We are your designated driver" together with glass and pint. What have others got?

4009 an has an advert too although i cannot remember what its for.

Surprised they ads on Spectras as I would thought were up for withdrawl.

They are here till next year at the earliest @JoNi. Some of the mercs are going from WN soon (i'd imagine those will be the ones still in TWM livery) and wouldn't be surprised if some our B6's go before the end of the year too.

The Spectras have done well, all things considered. They have been 'non standard' in the fleet from the day they were delivered, have reportedly had reliability issues over the years, have not generally been popular with many drivers, yet still they survive, 15 to 16 years on. Well most of them anyway.

Just reminded me about that. Saw 4558 on 79's yesterday with that yellow piece of paper attached to the window (Underneath the side dot matrix display)

A BIG Presumption...As the new Enviro 400 in use for the Commonwealth Games going to BC maybe some of their better Mercs or older Tridents will be moved to WN to replace  O405N Boneshakers??? Some of BC Tridents are EX WN in any case....

"just a suggestion"

Add 4584 to that list. Seen on the 59 this morning

To take all garage threads away from the tedious talk of the horrible big stickers I wanted to mention that when I got on 4578 on the 126 this morning. I noticed that to the edge of the newer and or darker piece of flooring in between the drivers cab and the passenger door had come loose and curled upwards in parts which may be a trip hazard. Also the wheelchair ramp wasn't held down properly in one corner so may be another potential trip hazard or a way of triggering a door mechanism malfunction. I left my phone at home today so I don't have any pictures and it may be a little late or vague to mention but hopefully the description is worth the mention.
