Landflight (formerly Silverline)

I caught the 10:30 S10 back to Sheldon this morning and I was expecting an E200 to work it but Streetlite MX62AXH rolled up.

I recorded a vid on board from The Olton Tavern to just after Tanhouse Farm Road (can't remember the actual location I stopped the video) I'll upload it after Christmas

Might be something to do with the different duties for the Xmas period. An e200 operated the 'extras' yesterday, but a streelite made it out later - running 45 mins late, replaced by a Solo at 2pm so was quite a mix yesterday!

I'm away at the moment - does anybody know if new buses have arrived?

I didn't see any when I went passed on Monday but I'll have a look on Friday Morning for you before I meet up with family :)

I'm sure I saw a 'YX63' plated Enviro200 on the 36 this evening

There were two E200s on the 36 yesterday, but I'm sure they were the two new ones they had last year. I'm at home today, so will have a look from my window to see what comes past in a bit.

EDIT: I missed the one heading towards Heartlands as it passed 10 minutes early! Was an E200, but was liveried up so was one of the YN13 plates.

However, you're right John, the one heading towards Greet (though still showing Sparkbrook on the display!), was YX63 ZXM. (Registered 7th Feb)
Same shade of blue/purple, but missing Silverline logos.

thanks for this. I was told they are due three new ones to replace solos so they must be starting to arrive

YN13GBY is the other E200 on the 36 today, just spotted it passing my house.

Always good to see a small operator keeping their fleet modern.

Still have access to my old vehicle reg lookup, this is what it tells me about YX63ZXM:
Make: ALEXANDER DENNIS    VIN: SFD1D1AR6DGY14147    Engine Model Code: ISBE
Model: ENVIRO 200 8.9M DART    Date: 2014    BHP: 138.1
Fuel Type: DIESEL    Date Registered: 07/02/2014    Gross Weight: 12580
CC: 0    Drive Type:    

Smaller than their other E200s (which are the 10.7m model)

YX63ZXM was out on the S10 today

YX63ZXM was out on the S10 today

was on there yesterday too! Hopefully I'll get on it soon!

Which of the Solos is being withdrawn then? I'm sure I've seen YJ56APU the last couple of days out on the 36, so probably not that one!

How many buses does the S10 use, 1 or 2?

I know the 36 and the S9 both use two buses, and the S10 is their only other public service route, just curious as to how many buses they need altogether.

I am told all solos are still there - I drive past last week and didn't see APK but am told it's still there. 2 more buses are due next few weeks apparently.

The S10 requires 1 bus all day with another between 10 and 11:30, this is normally the bus that comes of the s9. Saturday is usually 2 solos although I'm waiting to see what they put on tomorrow as we've had the new enviro the past couple of days

MX62ANR out on the S9 today
