Heard some rumours that The Green bus have put in a bid for the ex Walsall 17** B7RLE'S aswell not sure how true this is or just aload of rubbish but would be interesting if they did buy them what exactly would they use them for

Long distance rail replacements between Edinburgh and London.

that would be quite cool to see but I think claribels should get some so that they can expand and operate more routes
Local Bus Routes: 4, 4A, A15, A16, 41,1,11A,11C, A9, A12

Do you realise how much it costs to start a new route? Claribels have cut off services in favour of tenders I can't see them starting anything new commercially especially with the current ongoing situation. As well as that I doubt Claribels would want them, their fleet is all Euro 6 apart from 3 vehicles...

Long distance rail replacement between London and Edinburgh? Blimey, that's some distance! Presumably they'll be converted to Euro 6?

We will always look at any commercial opportunities, there just isnt any at present. As stated they aren't euro 6 & I doubt nx would sell them to a competitor anyway

Green Bus has now started tracking on bus times with 2 Enviro 400s tracking as rail replacement
Tracking up to yesterday, but not today...

I believe 1750-1772 have been sold to green bus with the earlier examples being sold on from greenbus and the later ones being used for Rail Replacement works and etc

Although im welcome on being correctex

UK Buses website has BX56XCD on fleet as their 702. The following fleetlist correct as of 19.02.2022.

I look at both this and @Tony 's website to compare any movements.

Excellent use of the multi-coloured LED destination displays on this morning's 886 from Sedgley - displayed route, number and the Ukranian flag on the displays.

Are they done in house?
