Just seen an interesting site at northfield station, it was a white E200MMC didn't see the reg or if it had branding but that would indicate that Kevs cars and coaches are looking at the 19 Rubery to Maypole.

Or more likely have been the 10:41am 38 operating Northfield - Selly Oak.

If it was the 38 then its got incredibly lost! Having driven the 38 many a time, it goes no where near Northfield Station!

Absolutely right hence why I say they are driver training the 19 maybe even to see if the E200MMC's fit around the route?

Why would they need to see if SWB E200MMC's would fit around the 19 when Diamond Redditch have typically been using buses of the same size?

Good point, although if the steering rotation is the same as NXWM's E200MMMC's then it may struggle in places, also might be to see if the E200MMC'S are suitable because of several speed bumps and pot holes in the road.
