@nxwmbusfan1999 that should be on all day (on the hour from Solihull) I don't believe the buses swap during the week like on a weekend. However, EDO? Was on Friday afternoon.

why do they swap the buses at the weekend when the bus runs
Past the top of where the depot  ia

When a driver takes their break, they tend to keep the bus. Only 2 drivers used of a Saturday now. I suppose its quicker, easier and helps when the other bus is running late!

YX63ZXM was out today all day as usual with YN13GDY on the 10:30 from Solihull

Streetlite on the S10 for a change today. Not sure if it will stay out this afternoon though!

SN60EDO on S10 today

[James4368]

Currently on SN60EDO S10 to cranes park road

if im correct the S10s allocaton is

every hour at 00 e.g. 1000: YX63ZXM Enviro 200
every hour at 30 e.g. 1030: SN60EDO Enviro 200

is this right @Matt.N0056

SN60EDO is Blythe Valley branded, wouldn't that normally be used on the S9?

to be honest @Stu
I thought that myself and they would've put a streetlite or one of 15 plate E200s on S10

@nxwmbusfan1999 Normally ZXM is on the :00 departure from Solihull. Any enviro of EDO/L GDY/GBY can be on the :30 depature (although there is only 1!) but tends to be EDO/L.

I believe both EDO/L still retain some branding. Only 1 bus is needed for the Blythe Valley Contract now, and as there are only a couple of journeys a day these can end up on the S10 or JLR.

I believe the Streetlites and 15 plate enviros are primarily for the JLR. Streetlites aren't the best on the S10 for timekeeping and poor steering lock.

Thanks @Stu
That makes more sense :)

SN60EDO was on the 10:30 off Solihull and YX63ZXM was out all day as usual on the S10 today

SN60EDO is 2nd allocation for S10 sometimes since 13/15 Plate E200's and 62 Plate Streetlite's operate on JLR Shuttles From Birmingham Airport

Two new Mercedes coaches parked up in depot this evening. Seem to be using the 'Landflight' name, over Silverline, didn't realise who owned it first!
