A close friend has reported a 46xx on YW3 route? Any ideas?

Either a misread fleet number (Which I doubt) or most likely a loan

Apologies;

4616 - YW2

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.

73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

The change point is Birmingham City Centre Nathan. Would be nice if they did still use B10L's LS but now nothing more than a noteworthy working

Not anymore. :( Last time I caught 1457 on 2 was last year summer, assuming the bus was naughty sneaking in the city.

Would break the Emmision Rule if they did (Presidents and B10's have been put on as a last resort but hasn't happened for about a B10 hasn't. Better running the service with a Euro 2 bus than no bus at all). Usually a mixture of Tridents and E400's with the odd appearance of an Omnilink here and there

I thought I remembered seeing an Omnilink change from a 2 to a 3E by the Bull Ring :) Thanks :)

There isn't anywhere else you could change routes. Could do it on the stratford Road outbound but then you'd get gob and flu germs up the screen
