Just seen 4799 BU09JZT
The driver was dressed up looking like Santa
And the bus was decorated with the trimmings
And was doing a 50 from Druids Heath to city

If its on ordinary service then it won't be long before scum ruins it.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

I remember years ago when Thandi ran the 88, they wrapped tinsel all over the passenger polls on their buses, needless to say it looked a bit ridiculous

I quite liked it, looked rather festive

I saw a YW omnilink not in service about an hour ago coming up pineapple bridge from cotteridge direction (either 1925, 1926 or 1928) with all tinsel up all the windows and on the poles, looking nice and festive. Seems an odd route for a YW bus to take though NIS as I know the 84 today is 1922 so it couldn't have been that and surely if it had been on the 18 it would follow the 18 route back to garage!

27 route not a million miles from there. Maybe going onto that.

76 does make sense Neale, it had probably come off that at the QE, Cheers :)
