'In Centenary Square tomorrow, we will be celebrating the 100th birthday of the Birmingham bus with buses from the past, present & the future'


Buses of the future? So NXWM have mastered time travel have they? Haha! Seems an odd thing to say.

They probably mean one of the E400's recently delivered to BC

Past - one of the first E400s delivered to NX
Present - one of the current E400s
Future - one of the new E400s

I have to say I would have thought for 100 years they'd put a bit more effort into the celebrations, like maybe some short bus rides or something.

Not much headroom on the upper deck I noticed. But some intersting things I heard about it!
Apparently - leather seats, new livery and to upgrade already upgraded routes, 900&957! As well as X51

If you are asking if they were at Centenary Square then no

Any hints on what this new livery may be ?

I wonder whether these may be being considered as Gold Corridors, hence the new livery,  because surely they are not thinking of ANOTHER NEW LIVERY!!!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

But teh wed and wite is 8 yerr olds :o

No one likes the NX livery anyway. So here's hoping blue returns. Although I doubt it is a new livery per se.

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.

Saw two Metrobuses - one WM blue and cream, one Blue Timesaver - and a mostly white Lynx driving up Broad St while I was there.

I have to say, the new E400 looks far more impressive in person than in photos.
I'm on Flickr and Youtube

I did hear that they were for Ron,s  funeral

Yes, for Ron Morgan, probably the biggest bus fanatic in the West Midlands, I was on 7007 BOM 7V Rolls Royce engined Metrobus with 2957 D957 NDA Garner Engined DP Metrobus, 1266 G266 EOG DP Leyland Lynx, 1956 WDA956T Single deck Fleetline converted from 6956 (The baseball bat) and 3009 MOF 9 BCT Guy Arab.
