A brand new South Midland Enviro 400 MMC SN16 OHG is currently parked in the coach park by Miller Street. Anyone have any information about the company? As I've never heard of them.

Thanks for that @Winston. I wonder what it's doing in Birmingham then?

Note that the Olympians in this fleet are all named after former Midland Red MAP schemes!  :)

That is quite something!  I think the owner is an enthusiast - the fleet has had several interesting vehicles in the past.  South Midland and Newbury & District are old company names as well.

The naming of double deckers after Midland Red MAP schemes is ironic, as several MR MAP schemes saw off double decks.
