I think they should upgrade the Weatherfield Wayfarer! They've been using that Breadvan for years

They had a stagecoach solo a couple months back but gone back to the merc. Perhaps the solo broke down  ::)

WN4535 appeared on ITV Central News when Dicky Dodd from Signal 107 took a disabled boy on a trip to WM Safari Park as he'd never travelled on a double Decker due to his disability. Film crew spent the day with us on board.

I watched that clip and I'm sure the bus was 4323 (Or another 432*)

No worries :) Isn't 4535 fitted with a tacho?

It's WNs only tachometer bus......at the moment;)

We have used an Enviro 400 from Walsall when the engine went on 4535.

There has just been an article on Midlands Today about 25 years since MCW closed and showed lots of buses at Wythall- fleetlines, Metros, lynxes and even spotted an Olympian(!!).

On one of the Top Gear episodes/challenges where they buy 3 classic British sports cars, there's an NXWM Enviro400 operating on the Sutton Lines route as well as earlier in the challenge, there's a 448 bus in the background that goes past while trying to sort out a leak in Hammond's Lotus Elan, think it's a Merc, but i'm not 100% on that

Cops and robbers on ch4 the other night had a number of buses in dudley in it including the number 1, 222 & 246

[the trainbasher]

@Andrew did it have any grs stock in it on the 246 or just NXWM stock?
