MRD of Bromsgrove seem to have a new bus!

Saw it last week but didn't catch the reg but passed it today on the 90 and its YG02FVX a green Optare Solo formely of Walsall Community Transport.Its got MRD on the rear so could be a permanent replacement for N922NAP.

Interestingly MRD also used a white LDV minibus earlier last week on some services.

@SEVERNLINK fun fact for you...

When MRD ran the X7 Merry Hill to Bromsgrove service, they actually up the LDV van on there the once...needless to say it was a intersting journey!

N922NAP was still on MRD's premises earlier today - albeit with the rear wheels raised off the ground. As well as the Solo, MRD's two other vehicles were present. Mercs R901WLG and Convoy YX04LJJ. :D

Also, does anyone know if they gave change?

@MW - Yes MRD do indeed give change on all of their bus services.

Excellent, I'll get my pennies together then.

@MW - I am not sure what their current bus fares are but if you contact them they should be able to let you know.

Only the Solo as far as I know. The "Gaffer" is a friendly guy, always get a wave or thumbs up from him when he drives past. :D

Always gives you an acknowledgment when giving way for the bus :D Ex MRW and Yourbus driver think he's a bus crank. Years ago I used to catch the same 143 back from Redditch always a National except for when Mr MRD was driving he'd somehow manage to turn up with a Leopard which was very unusual at that time ;)

The Varios are operated by Clearway...for the time being ;D

@SEVERNLINK @Trident 4194 @B61 ANDREW - Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I presume that MRD must have a second spare bus though to use when YG02 FVX is not available.

The spare was/is an LDV minibus which I saw in use on the 90 one morning just before Christmas.
