Thought I'd just add my thanks for your youtube channel as well actually - some great videos of the local trains and buses in the region!

Is their any proper place 1 could get a proper shot of the place, I've taken a few good shots although it's on the Fox Hollies - Westley Road corner although I wish I could get closer.

4635 has a different front display for the 11C

it says "11C  Outer Circle"
no via points or anything

A simple answer, no.

What was the reason for changing the Volvo b7tl headlights to circlular

I think the other ones were faulty. I've heard that off somewhere.

It was hard for the old style rectangular light frame to be refitted by the fitters accurately. The current circular ones were much easier

According to the Solihull Council website, NXWM are contributing to the Lode Lane Enhancements by upgrading the buses on the 957 (already believed to be 'Platinum') and the 71! so does this mean more new buses for the 71?

I don't know how much of this is true, but according to someone who posted on my Facebook page, apparently Acocks Green will be receiving new E200 MMCs.  ???

[Gareth]

From what I've seen elsewhere, there is to be some kind of emmisions zone introduced in Solihull. The future plans for Acocks Green vehicle allocation looks most interesting!

[Liberator9]

So looks like the 71 could get some E200MMCs - Volvo B7s to CV or PE to replace Mercs?

Sure the Scanias on the 37 would be due a refurb this year - seats inside need retrimming.

I'll make one radical guess for AG this year - Scanias moving onto the 5 - Geminis currently on there move onto the 11.

Wonder can the 71 become DD now it doesn't do the radleys tunnel.

If the 71 got 200, they would have to make it into a 10 min service
