@JPC

That is the danger of having Optares in the fleet; they are always likely to break down at some point! I've used the Stratford Park and Ride a few times now and never had a problem; unfortunately I think you encountered a bad day and afraid there is nothing to be done when the road is blocked by an accident, although I'd have thought there should be some instruction from the depot in this situation by phone (or radio but I don't think they have them fitted?)

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.

Would be nice if it was preserved, another Sheffield Transport Atlantean still intact.

Mercs mini-bus YX08AOK was on rail replacement work between Droitwich and Bromsgrove this afternoon. [ DK03JCV of Five Star Cars was also noted. ]  :)

Got a lift home from work this evening, and looked like the X20 was using the Warwick Road, no doubt to avoid the traffic chaos on the Stratford Road in Hall Green.
