Long shot and a bit late to ask, but....
Anyone know if there's a Merc or even a sapphire one, on the 110 today, even times etc?

@Kevin 3022 is on the 110. Saw it about 12:50 (roughly) in Sutton going towards Tamworth.

I'm just quoting what I read but if that's the case then somebody needs to pop up Specsavers lol.

I see Arriva are going through their annual 'brand and promote' random route to no effect shortly before ignoring it again, this time the 9 Hockley to Town Centre, a route that interestingly they recently halved the frequency of!

The highly original branding of 'Hockley Hopper', cut and paste directly from the 80s deregulation handbook, has emblazoned a Citaro or two. Let's hope one never makes it into the 110 or it could end up with a few lost passengers boarding in Birmingham!

Appears to be in reaction to service registration from an independent op, hardly random, has there been any random ones?

65 - MIRA funding?
110 - Prestigious service?
X65 - Central Buses competition?
115/116 - Central Buses Competition?

Struggling to think here?

2613 when it had the overall ad/branding for the 6.

Again, hardly random, it advertised the Tamworth Hopper service, so people could get around between places within Tamworth... Ok it wasn't in completion with anything but hardly random

Indeed. The "Tamworth Explorer" was a venture in partnership with Tamworth Borough and Staffordshire County Councils.

Presumably a result of "Invisible Heartlands Val's Classic Acorn's" competing service. Anybody seen a timetable for that yet?
