Now the second one has appeared, MC61 ARX. It was running 7 mins early....


So Roy stopped it in its tracks by puncturing the tyre.

There's a shot of an E400 Hybrid in thr BBC documentary, "Is Britain Racist" - I believe it's still on iPlayer. That particular segment of the documentary was filmed in Dudley, is what the narrator suggested.

On BBC MIDLANDS TODAY a nice bit of nostalgia, in an article on crime rates going up, there was footage of an old TWM liveried Transbus Trident with the 79 roundel branding passing a TWM liveried Mercedes 0405N. This was on the backdrop behind the animated graphics and charts and stuff.

In case you were interested it is about 10 minutes in on BBC iPlayer

Tonight's episode of Doc Martin has an Alexander Sprint bodied Mercedes Benz minibus with pretty new Stagecoach trim inside. Would this be the ex Corrie one? Couldn't see the reg.

The vehicle was N963 NAP, originally new to East Kent and which was with Chepstow Classic Buses around 2013.

Other than that, I don't know a thing about its history.

My theory was based on the tidy interior but that could have been done anywhere.

i was watching a programme from the 1970s called gangsters and in one scene a man being chased in birmingham caught a daimler fleetline eof 251l route number 90 it was only a short scene .

An oddity from Yesterday Channel's 'Secrets of the Bible - Noah's Flood'.  In a scene in an office, supposedly in the US, the wall was decorated with a destination blind.  It included the term 'Bus Station', which I thought was a British usage, US using 'Bus Depot'...
