Airparks King Long BX15MLZ turned up at Wythall Transport Museum today and even did a trip up to Maypole  :D I believe it's a recent transfer from Luton, looking at photos

Y5 BHX did a trip to car park 7 today with the merc running the other service

I went out to photograph the electric buses last week - two were on charge in the bus park just north of International station, and when the first one  arrived at the Airport Terminal the pantograph came down and immediately retracted, although that may have been because it was having a driver change. If they can (or need to) take two out of service at a time to recharge are the gantries anything other than a gimmick?
The next one did however stay connected during its layover.
