Fleet Number 5998 appears to be working from Tamworth I saw today on the 765 route looks like it could be a demonstration bus, the driver says it will be regular on the 765 route
5998? Can anyone shed some more light on what kind of bus this demonstrater might be?

5998 is a Mercedes Benz Sprinter City, reg BL16 GAO. It's in all over white and branded for Arriva and has 2 owner names & addresses on the nearside.

Saw this in Lichfield this morning,  what a joke allocated to a route that normally has full size singles, maybe shires has eyes on the Scania's too and we'll end up with a fleet of these.....

In fairness though, how often does the route get full? The main reason for a full size bus is they haven't got any small singles at Tamworth.

What is happening at Tamworth at the moment? Is the Sapphire Merc still there as I have not seen it for weeks?

Streetlites are working the town routes , I have seen broken down volvo b7rle eclipses - surely this is not giving a good image of the bus services in Tamworth

It was still there a fortnight ago - it was on a local  service and behind it was a non-platinum single decker on the 110.

Get rid of sapphire Streetlite
Replace with a sapphire Merc
Put Merc on local routes

Both streetlites 3301 and 3302 have left Tamworth a long time ago.  3022 the Mercedes citaro is still there in sapphire livery

The sapphire merc is still there and has been noted in service recently.  There has been no streetlites for many weeks now.  Tamworth only had 2 and both have gone to Luton I believe

I thought only one Streetshite had left?

Saw a 51 plate dart coming out of Perrycrofts this morning... Older fleet is really going to increase patronage

2289/91 are temporary at Tamworth and I think 2159

Bob

Are they running Tamworth in line with Cannock  and Wednesfield now? The fact that Cannock have lost all their mods almost would suggest that the 15 and the 19/20 are definitely going shortly
