Is this a loan move or a permanent one info as always will be greatly appreciated

Permanent, there may be a few more to follow once the new Streetlites enter service at Hallmark, Heathrow. Some have already been delivered.

Peculiar sight at merry hill today an central buses enviro 200 with a blue diamond front.. was on the 002

@Simon Dunn so I've been on 30858 and 30851 both have warning lights on and are having to be stopped and engine turned off for a few minutes. But these buses are working perfectly fine?

30851 has completely broken down now by the looks of it @Simon Dunn missing trips as we speak.
Why don't you actually come down to the West Midlands and see what crap you're giving your excellent drivers

30861 keeps on cutting off when stationary, but of course it's working fine.

A lot of newer buses have the occasional sensor glitch & require the system to be reset a bit like rebooting your computer.
All companies have the same issue it's only if the system persists in saying there's a fault that a bus needs to be replaced.

Ex Wessex/Hallmark B7RLE 30525 (BX62 FEU) is now at Tividale and is on the 16/W today. I saw it pass me at Moor Street Queensway at around 7:50 on a 16W to Birmingham.

This was on the 16W this morning.

Trident 4194 · July 18, 2018, 05:01:24 PM

21001 has a bit of blue on the front as well as the Arriva green- looks very strange

Steveminor · July 18, 2018, 09:27:14 PM

Well Simon did say they were starting a repaint programme.
I just assumed they were going to paint a whole bus at a time.
