Well since their competition are getting newer they have to get older just to balance out the universe or space & time will collapse

Just passed 65 branded 3503 at Gravelly Hill on a 110 to Tamworth. Looks like the blind isn't working on it though, as it has a piece of paper in the window with the number "110" on it...

Anything seems to go in Tamworth now. 4408 was on the 3A yesterday.
It isn't good for the impression passengers get - 8 and 9 branding on the 4, 65 branding and no destination on the 110 - no bus on the 3a - "withdrawn" bus on the 3. What on earth is happening?

Tamworth is levelling out with Cannock lol?

John · June 23, 2017, 02:33:23 PM

VDL 3731 is on the 110

Passed Cannock loan 3911 out in the country on the 785 this afternoon.

There is currently an East Lancs Myllennium Lowlander at Tamworth Garage to allow some vehicles to go to MRC for refurbishment. It should be out in service later this week I'm told.

4709 is on the 2 today. It was really working hard on a hill start in Perrycrofts Crescent!

For anyone interested, the 5/7/8 this morning was worked by 3002-6, 3729/30 and 3863/69/70/2.
The 3 had 3868 and the 3A 2212. I think the leaflet drop about refurbished buses on the 3/3A should have read the 4! 3728/31/43 were on it.

Newly-painted and refurbished Pulsar 3742 is on the 65 today.

3728-31 and 3742-3. Also 3727 if not here now it soon will be.
Usually three on the 4 and a couple on the 5/7/8 (11 buses work this group in route number order) - all from Victoria Road - but could be on anything.

Cheers, Patrick.

3727 is here once 4709 goes there should be one on the 3 one on the 3a and 3 on the 4's which leaves two to go where needed
