Preserved Buses

[P419 EJW]

I was quite disappointed to see this preserved Metrobus, POG 605Y, to be repainted in NX red & white livery. It should be left alone with the blue & silver livery and the logo of Travel West Midlands...

Its not preserved, its own by West Midlands Fire Service who wanted it to have a fresh lick of paint when they bought it

Just type B786AOC into Flickr, that's the closest you'll ever get and to be fair it would have looked smart if they'd done one in red/white

On my way to Tesco this evening, I saw (what I think to be) a Leyland Atlantean, or Fleetline?

It was dark, but I made out the colours to be yellow and orange - At a first glance, I though it was that yellow 'music bus' -- but it wasn't. Any ideas of who it belongs to, where it was going, etc? Or has anybody seen it too?

There used to be a Fleetline painted in Yellow, can't remember if it had orange to. Was a sort of play bus, used to visit a pub up the road from me, if thats any help?

Well, it's definitely reassuring that someone else has a good idea of what I'm on about. But on second thoughts, it was dark, and I couldn't really see, so there might not have been orange...
