I've got my very own unusual working tomorrow. BC have given me a duty on 70E/56, first time I have driven the 56, not often I get to drive a route for the first time

Very nice. Never even stepped foot on that route Tony, is it the 55/59 similar crossover?

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.

As per 90/94 to Clock garage, Right up Heathland Avenue, left Heathway, big loop round the back of Shard End, Back to the 'Timberley' on the 94 route then the old 93 route down to the Kingshurst terminus. last time I drove a bus to that terminus it was the 93 from Washwood Heath garage!

You didn't strike me as a Late Book On man, Tony? Correct me if I'm wrong but these duties are Garage - Garage are they not? Or is that just the 70 of a Sunday? And then the Coleshill do some minor work on the 14 and 97?
