tridents with LEDs and plaxton presidents fitted with trident 2 engines.

[danny]

I have seen a trident with orange led and it does make them look rather smart

[4504]

Yeah, they look a lot better. I would also put LEDs on mercs.
This isn't relevant, but I (London Midland) would buy some Class 379s to replace the 323s, just give them to FGW or arriva train wales.

I would be delighted to see: -

• More bus lanes and priorities which really reduce journey times

• Orders for new buses continuing at their current level

• Mid-life bus refurbishment as standard (glad NXWM are making progress on this)

• A central Bus Station in Birmingham for longer-distance bus services

• A solution to window etching

• A solution to steamed up windows in wet weather

Automatic ejector seats for anti-social behaviour

[danny]

Haha nice one ;D

Didn't the 09 enviros have a strip of tint over the windows, that could be replaced if etching occured? I heard that somewhere  :o

All Pensnett buses have it on even the B6's

One Big Bus Station in the Centre of Birmingham
Perry Barr Garage - To gain B5L Hybrids to replace the Geminis on the 907/7/65 etc
Yardley Wood - To gain some better buses for the 35/50/49
Certain Services to be re-instated
Buses to be cleaned more often (Excpet AG as they already do this)
NXWM to invest in Some newer buses e.g. Evoultions, Hybrids etc etc
Brand more bus routes with proper branding were it goes & frequency
More bus lanes
More Limited stop routes

[arrifirststage]

The end of ALL branding
A new livery for NXWM
Rotala taken over by Stagecoach
Return to pre 1986 regulation

Yardley Wood - To gain some better buses for the 35/50/49

Better buses for the 50? Are the Enviro 400s not enough?

[ilovetea4370]

All I would do is re-instate the old 3 route and give YW some of the BX56 B7RLE's and some B7TL's, Perhaps I'd do something to keep the B10Ls going for as long as possible too :P Not a particularly imaginative list but to list everything I'd want to do would take far too long!

[4504]

Go ahead, that's the objective of this thread  ;D

They are, But i think they need upgrading now, becuase Tridents are operating on the 50 now more frequently, so it doesnt say much about the Enviros
