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.

10 buses were on ship that was grounded in Solent. The boat re floated on a high tide today and is currently off the Isle of Wight with two tugs attached.

Diamond (Kidderminster) 30384 (V384 SVV), was apparently today (8th Jan) involved in a collision with a tractor (I assume) on the 295 route (Kidderminster - Stourport - Worcester) it has minor front end damage although it's not thought to be a write off

Why do you assume a tractor? Is there a tractor-shaped hole in the bus?

No mate lol I was told it was an "agricultural vehicle" so you come to your own conclusion

4898/4899/4902 has the turkish airlines advert aswell so it could be either of these 5 my thoughts are with their families and friends
60 Birmingham - Cranes Park
72/72A Solihull Station - Chelmsley Wood
73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

I hope it isn't 4899!! She's already had an accident about a year ago!
My thoughts go out to the family of course.
