Is there a Scania Double decker at Keltruck near junction 1 of the M5. Sure I saw one hiding behind a Megabus coach in the yard. I have seen Omnilinks there too in the past, are they a Scania dealer?

Handy having a dealership so close, I guess they go there for warranty repairs then. Was there a reason for NXWM only purchasing such a low number of Scania deckers as they are lovely buses, and they bought a fair few Omnilinks. Were they more expensive than the E400s?

I agree, however Tony said from a drivers perspective they weren't very nice to drive

Literally was chancing it.
Was in the bus lane, seen a 907, and thought I wonder, hence why I slowed down next to your bus lol.

Yeah went to Perry Barr, 11A(11E) to Acocks Green.

Oh wait did you see me go right at the roundabout? I went to the Witton/Villa Ground roundabout to turn around as the timing point is at the other side in the stop between Perry Barr roundabout at Wellhead Lane/Road.

what time was the ambulance? I was on newtown row in traffic this evening and an ambuilance came behind and some #### in a transit van followed it through the traffic down the gap everyone made for the ambulance!

Then as I got to Lancaster circus 4877 was broken down in the middle of the road!

yeah that's probably the same one, think it was an Octavia ambulance? but I was by Lancaster at that point just after the hump back bridge. I couldn't believe the transit followed it through the traffic
