Nice to see a few gaps being closed up.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

Yes, I made sure 829 was the next bus in from PN to complete the first batch of 30 E200s

Hi Tony, why don't you include the heritage buses in the total?

Because the totals are for buses in the new livery.

Coventry's Resort World ad bus is going blue then.

The Real 4778

So they are, but they are repaints that have taken up a slot and associated resources at Walsall, and moreover the repaint signifies an investment in their future on the road earning revenue.  To me the likes of 4780 should be included, as the gaps they represent are misleading.
Don't you start.

I include them in the yearly totals, so you will see yhem in the 2018 & 2019 totals

2234 out in service on the 40 in base WM Bus livery for the first time today

2235 went before 2236 was collected

danny

At this rate hopefully we will see the fleet fully crimson\platinum\WMB by end of play 2020, are there any future plans for more heritage vehicles @Tony, maybe Midnald red or potentially more Birmingham City transports examples as a nod to the metrobus fleet from the late 90s.
Danny :) proud swift, mango and oyster user...

My locals 12, 12A, 13, 22, 126, and the sixes every weekend :)

Definitely won't be done by the end of this year
