Kev's Cars & Coaches

There wasn't a single person alighted off any of the three inwards 39s I saw passing Sainsburys.

o well must have been a bad boring day for you then, lets hope the almost 500 people who travelled today had a better day than you

Just a big hello and thank you to the three little schoolboys who put a brick though one of the new bus windscreens yesterday at 15.15 West Boulevard.

Welcome to running buses in the west midlands.

[igogeneral]

I have been doing it for over 40 years and still nothing changes does it

[Steveminor]

If disagree with that!! Things have changed, they've got worse.

[igogeneral]

Not sure how old you are Steve but I would disagree. On-board intimidation may have got worse but vandalism is just the same, new kids same problem

Latest Buses Mag reports that YX19OTX is another MMC200 with Kev's. Can @igogeneral shed any light on its intended use please ? I'm assuming spare for 39s but may be wrong

[igogeneral]

Sorry to disappoint but we only have three at the moment OTW, OTY and OTZ. We do not have any others on order, I do not take Coach and Bus any longer so not able to see the item.

Ah right, I was surprised by it as wondered why you needed another. It was in the fleetnews section of 'Buses' Magazine

[igogeneral]

Now you probably understand why I do not take it any more, fake news

[mikestone]

Are you talking about the same magazine?
.
I've no idea of the accuracy of "Coach and Bus (weekly)" but "Buses" did seem to be the target of deliberate duff gen, but  seems to have largely weeded it out.

There are non of the 19 plate vehicles with paper destination in the front as I am aware but I will check.
