Farewell Day for B6; B10L; Spectra & mercedes

[the trainbasher]

Sounds very nice and friendly :)

What a shame I missed it (not!)

Nice of @RS to threaten everybody photoing 1447, aka "the forum idiots" at Mossley just, also the "Fuck Off" he shouted in Bloxwich was charming.

Oh dear. What a way to make an impression. Not gonna lie, didn't last the whole day without another fellow bus spotter splurging out the swear words.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself. Didn't manage to catch any Volvos or Mercs tho. Didn't see the B6, did it die before the day started? Gave up circa 1330, so didnt get an opportunity to see Walsall Garage's merc lineup. :(

When I was on 4017 at about 11:40 I heard the B6 had failed so, must have @clayderman

Well apart from being threatened the day has been a really good day shame 620 never made it but It's still been great.

Fully agree and the group was fantastic @Nathan @Alex @Ashley 60171 @trident4370 @Trident4583 @P419 EJW Tom forgot your name lol @John @nxwmbusfan1999 @Kevin think that's all apologies if I missed anyone.

Ive really enjoyed today

Shame about B6 didn't come out

But it was a brilliant day at end and seeing a lot of members from forum :)

Gave a thumbs up to @thetrainbasher whilst on 4021 with @Tony driving, met @james99 and @Michael Bevan. Great day today but might not catch the Spectra on the X51 back to Birmingham.

I enjoyed today minus being in work uniform but saw a fair few from the forum but never got noticed :'(

Thanks to @Tony and everybody else who organised the day, couldn't stay till the end, but rode all the Spectra's and the B10Ls, and even managed a few minutes on 1613, until it expired with gearbox problems trying to turn right onto Bloxwich High Street.

Am sorry though that a certain member of this forum managed to spoil it for people, I had begun to think that he had begun to grow up a little, sadly I seem to be mistaken. I think the person involved should publicly apologise to those he has upset on this forum!!!

I have to say it was a good day, l rode my first (and last) Spectra, my opinion on Mercs changed with Tony driving so well although I'm happy their going.

If anyone saw an asian lad with a black beanie hat then it was me. Didnt know who was a forum member but it was nice seeing a wealth of people with their cameras out.

How can you keep forgetting my name @Dom - I'm offended! ;)

Thanks to Tony & everyone else who's organised today - it's been a great day and well worth the trip down!

Was it you I met on 4021 when I was recording?

I remember chatting to someone outside before I boarded the bus and briefly spoke to a guy when I was getting off, top deck ?!

I'll go one better and say it is about time his account was permanently deactivated. He does nothing but start arguments, he always posts untrue crap that Tony can prove wrong and he has been caught out stealing photos before. A lot of people at the Mossley terminus weren't even local spotters and wondered what the hell was going on. Quite frankly I find it embarrassing that they saw what happened, said individual is just giving the bus enthusiast community a bad name. If today has taught me anything it is that second chances do not work.


On another note I would like to thank Tony and NXWM as today has been a great success, I have really enjoyed it and it was nice to have the chance to say a final goodbye to the B10Ls which I will miss dearly  :(
