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.

I know it's a bus route but does the arriva 310 count as it doesn't serve dudley and merry hill bus stations for some time

X City 46 and 46X route back in 2006?

I'm sure they only announced this as a Christmas service, to get your Christmas shopping done at Merry Hill, via a Direct Service, as opposed to alighting from the one. They don't seem to have brought it back this year, so I guess this is right. :)

What about the 99? The one that was operated with E400s, when new at BC. (for Hagley Rd services)
