And Lea Hall's 41xx were in any better state than Perry Barr's 42xx at the time of Lea Hall's closure?

Nope. They were in horrendous state when first given to BC.

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.

Didnt LH also have some of the 44xx tridents for the 97? Because as far as I remember they were always in good condition, much better than some of the 42xx's that are at perry barr

Haha see sometimes my memory is not soo good haha, at least BC are keeping them in relatively good nick but some do look a bit tired now

If I remember bc sent in a load of crap ex branded 50s so pb could run the 94. Also lh did have the now branded 97s new when 94 did get attention and since the pb reign not had jack attention and even worse state vehicles (didn't even get the pleasure of the shocking green branding most of the major corridors were covered it). Only writing this as bored in a hotel. At least claribels have not gone backwards on this corridor is all I can say. The end.

How about if Travel West Midlands were sold to Stagecoach? Makes for some interesting thoughts on liveries... :)

EDIT:
Just to clarify, this had been the reason for the White Livery buses? Can anybody confirm, I'm sure it was Stagecoach who were planning on buying the company.
