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

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

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

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

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!

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
