Just got of 464, quite a few people out spotting but sure more would have had 989 and 313 not be O/R

I went on 458 the one infront then went to pub and then 256 home not the one that broke down the one behind that passed it ;-)

Fortunate! I saw a Spectra on it and thought oh I'll pop to Stourbridge, 2 hours and 2 breakdowns later I've nearly made it

464 was on the HC3 this afternoon, the one day that the right-hand lane of the Hagley Hill was coned off, meaning 464 took 2-3 minutes to crawl up with nothing able to get past (464 being by far the slowest Metrobus). The queue behind was hilarious

Do Green Bus do any of the school swimming contracts, 365 was seen pulling off the Haden Hill leisure Centre car park at 13:30 today?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I do not know of any such "school swimming contracts". It was most likely just private hire

Thanks Matt

It pulled off the car park empty and i didn't see where it headed.

Only normally see Prospect around Haden Hill.

Optare Spectra S879 BYJ was on the HC2 today, with fleetnumber 204. Certainly faster than the NXWM Spectras, cruised past two Metrobuses and a Trident up the Hagley Hill today

If anyone wants a photo of Spectra 204, it's usually on my school route HC2 and is at Halesowen bus station about 16:05 and Bearwood about 16:20. Having said that I'll probably get something else tomorrow knowing TGB ::)

I've been told by Matt that these maybe on his school route from now on. Apparantly they sound the same as WN's but are much faster!

Yes 204 in particular, can't say anything about 205 as have never had it. It is the fastest Green Bus decker now in terms of hill climbing, beating Olympians and ZF Tridents
