Seen two buses in Darlaston Bus station why on 1847 on the 39 the first was a CTG or GTG Volvo Driver trainer heading towards the Island and the second one was a NXWM Leyland LYNkgoing towards Bilston

Highly unlikely, NXWM don't have any Lynx trainers left & haven't done for a couple of years

I'm struggling to translate that, but i'll have a go!

There is a private driver training company called GTG training in Wolverhampton who have an MCV bodied MAN registered L18 GTG which is probably the one bus, but NXWM don't have any Leylands so not sure what the second one was

He probably saw one of the Alexander Ultras

Maybe one of the Ultra's, they probably, possibly, slightly look like a Lynx.  ::) ::)
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

From the rear quarter if you ignore the rear lights maybe?

Thanks having just checked it was an Ultra I thought it was a lynk and as for the GTG bus it did have a MCV bus body

Doesn't  count here but there were 3 trainers at Northampton depot on Wednesday

@YN63 BYJ - So why post it in the NXWM - Training Bus sightings then???
