Incident on School Road/Stratford Road last week/earlier this week. From the pictures, looks like someone ran a red light on Stratford Road whilst the 11A was crossing the junction.

bit late but spotted 4322 parked outside trailways yesterday

I was out for a ride on my scooter yesterday and ended up at an island just south of Bell End in Worcestershire, where I saw a crimson Omnilink coming the other way. I didn't get to see which one it was, but I think it may have had some sort of price branding on it? If anyone knows which one it was and what it was doing down there, it'd be much appreciated.

I honestly hadn't realised there were that many Bell Ends until I read this post. I'm aware of the one in Rowley Regis but hadn't realised there was one in Worcestershire until now.

I'm pretty sure that one in Rowley Regis is just a street, whereas there's an actual village called Bell End, complete with a service station and Bell Hall. It's just east of Belbroughton, so the name does kinda make sense.

Around my area, their seem to be quite a few Bell Ends.

When's 5409 coming back from Wootton Bassett? It's been away for nearly 5 months. It didn't take that long to build the whole batch of hybrids!

Interesting that only 6790 is currently at Plaxtons. What is the progress on the smart hybrid conversions for 6855-92?

From what I can tell it is still only 6855/6 that have been done, and they've been back in service for quite a while. Has the roll out been put on hold?

It's also a sobering thought that if whatever Paul Clark are doing to 5409 gets rolled out across all 30, based on the time taken so far, it would take 150 months (over 10 years)....?!

I've just visited Paul Clark Services website http://www.paulclarkservices.co.uk/ and you can clearly see 5409 just inside the door in its green-based livery if you scroll the photos.
