It was on its way to the paintshop, it's going next week. But what colour will it be when it comes back  :shocked: :wink:
OK then, inconvenient place for it to happen but sods law ay

Who knows it a bit of light hearted speculation as requested by ABBW, if you bet on a horse race you pick one and hope for the best, no real need for that come back.

Far more likely to be one of
Transport UK  (ex Abellio)
RATP
Metroline

who sell off vehicles of that age on tender renewals.

Won't Metroline London want to be keeping some of their end of London stock though for a stopgap for Metroline Manchester?

There's lots of outer London routes where drivers get up a decent speed. The 107 Edgware to Barnet route is a really nice route to travel on

Yesterday afternoon Birmingham Busworks delivered a nice shiny silver Enviro200 to Banga Buses. This is their largest vehicle in the fleet and will be used on Shropshire services.

Is this to replace the bus which caught fire?

Quote from: Mayfield on June 19, 2024, 04:39:29 PMIn the photo of 4826 leaving Miller Street I presume that's BBW yard in the back ground which appears to show ex Lothian Geminis and London E400s or do they still belong to The Green Bus, it's been a while since The Green Bus ceased running are these just dumped rotting away, also on BBWs website they are advertising 20 Enviro 400s coming soon for resale
The website says all 20 reserved, wonder where they are going, sure ARBB will know if allowed to say.
