Ladies and Gentlemen.... I present to you a "noteworthy" working that I'm so happy I've seen: 1454 on the X56
Caught it home from work today (didn't even think the X56 ran today but there you go). Was ace to hear a B10 having a stretch on the A34, brought back the days of them appearing on the 951/2 etc all that time ago.
Even had to display "Burntwood" because presumably the B10's don't have Boney Hay on the roller blinds. Even stranger it was on a W29 board

EDIT: Got a picture at Tower Hill when I got off, but as I do not have Flickr and the pic is too large to attach on this post I'll have to resort to facebook if anyone wants to see it with their own eyes.
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Oh, that is an awesome noteworthy post! I am looking forward to see the picture soon! Wish I was there to witness it! 😜 Well, to be honest, I didn't expect a B10 serving X56. Wow.

WB freshly repainted Trident 4294 on route 45

WA Enviro 400 4869 on 70A

I know it was probably a simple mistake, but 4294 is a B7TL, not a Trident. :)
