Look out for a Metrobus, probably 313, around Maypole-Redditch area tomorrow ;)

Going back to what you told me earlier do you know what changes are being made to the 50A

Is it a well used route to redditch? Could they be increasing the frequency (What is the current frequency of the 50A?)

No it would just be alterations of the route around the Redditch area. It is planned for it to follow more of the 57/58 route which is very well used, so more passengers would be attracted.
I thought that might happen along with a 50C so one goes clockwise and the other goes anti.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

I'd imagine they'll go one by one. They could possibly make good money off a well advertised Metrobus running day too.. (me hoping - I'd pay a fiver for a nostalgia trip) Not much chance if they're selling them off now.

Well there'll only be 3 left very soon once 313 and 989 leave, and 464 is OTR at the moment leaving just 458 and 462

New addition 122 in the depot this week already painted up in TGB livery - V313 KGW

123, 124, 125 expected to join soon, more london tridents

Spectras 711, 712, 713 coming from Reading Buses in mid-late May.

Trident 4609

Nitromatt's video on youtube of 313 is A video to watch. Probably the best metrobus i've heard in years!

nitromatt1

Looks like 123, 124 and 125 are V305, V318 and V329 KGW. They are currently on their way up the M40 from London and are apparently already in the livery.

989 off the road again, looks like for good this time.

Is Trident 121 only found on schools and private hire as it is seat-belted?

Have seen it around a few times, but never in service on the 50/64/558.

It is allocated to service SP1, it only appears on there (although it made a rare appearance on a Hagley service once), and of course private hire during the day
