I want to take a trip on 1698 as I believe it's now got the engine from 1532 so wonder what it sounds like.

Has 1640 got an engine from a R/S reg merc? It sounds like it does

680 is completley dead. won't see service again.

1698 been in the pits for a long time and not in service, perhaps tidying it up or replacing worn out parts that take time to replace, don't know.

What happened with 4709?

[Ash]

The driver had an heart attack and the bus crashed into a lamp post or something on the Dudley Road. I saw the accident damage and the front looks in a bad state but I'm sure will be repaired quickly enough.

Was the driver ok? I haven't heard anything since it happened

Complaint in the Express and Star yesterday about deckers on the 49. Too wide for one of the roads apparently and privacy issues.

Centro can't do anything about it because its a commercial service.

Probably some woman in the bath with her window open, because she isn't used to deckers going past...

There used to be double-decks all the time on the 449 (ok, so a few years ago when it was all Metrobuses), so okay maybe the Geminis are a bit wider, but there were never any 'privacy issues' at the time, maybe the person in question should invest in some net curtains?  ::)

I assume it is a road somewhere between Brandhall and Lightwoods Hill where the 200/201 use to operate with single decks.

It was breastfeeding woman btw.

Seems a little silly to me, nobody on the bus probably noticed anything, and has been said, perhaps someone should invest in a pair of net curtains.
