Anyone know which extra bus will be going on 65 from Saturday along with 3501-3503

At a guess it should be 3507 as that is our spare Mira bus currently 3502/3 are off the road

3727 & 3742 now here

Dart 2168 is now at Tamworth (from Derby on the fleet changes). On the 35s today

What are these newly-refurbished vehicles?

So much for the refurbished vehicles on the Arriva home leaflet drop - today 2211 (withdrawn on the latest fleet changes) was on the 3 and 3502 (MIRA livery) was on the 3A!
The refurbished vehicles are certainly on the route 4 merry-go-round with 5 vehicles between the two operators for a 22 minute round trip.

3506 and 3507 were on the 65 this morning and new arrival 2168 was on the 2. 2212 was on the 765.

One of the 65 branded Scania OmniLinks was on the 35 yesterday - didnt catch the fleet number.

I drove through Shrewsbury this afternoon and passed 2209, which was at Tamworth not long ago.

It was 3502

[derningtona]

It was 3502

So that's where it went! I saw it on the 3A in the morning and went to get a photograph in the afternoon. I waited for the route to go round twice and no 3A. Central were happily picking up all the passengers.

Today, new livery 3729 was on the 5/7/8 together with MIRA 3502, which continues its wanderings.
3006 rather spoilt the 4, as it is still in full "Hockley Hopper" routes 8 and 9 branding (3731/43 also on).

[ntw456]

3005 was on the 65

[Michael Bevan]

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.

This will be common in the fleet before long as it appears Tamworth fleet is getting older.
