Pretty sure I saw an older Enviro on the S10 today. There's usually two buses on there so it may have been the other bus.

I've been in Solihull a lot lately and all  I've seen is the standard E200's on the S10.

S10 has 2 buses on for think it's 3 trips then hourly

Thanks @MW @Jack @Solo1
Maybe it's been purchased for the Blythe Shuttles then from Birmingham International, as otherwise not sure what they would use it on, unless they have some other contracts that they use buses on

[Solo1]

Think is a spare bus for contracts  or s10

The Blythe Valley services, what specifically is meant by "closed door"? Is that a case of needing staff passes?

Probably meaning not available to the general public. You could probably board the bus if you told the driver you're going to Blythe Valley Park. On the journey from Blythe Valley, I'd imagine it's allighting only and the reverse journey, picking up only.

I'd think you'd need some sort of staff card.
It is solely used by passengers getting of the train at Solihull going to Blythe Valley that appear to work there. I've never seen it pick up or drop off anywhere but Solihull Station.

Yep same with the Birmingham International one as it says Private Charter on the side display with Blythe Valley & FORE Bham Intl Shuttle on the front so you would most likely need a staff card. Again, it goes straight down the motorway and only serves places in the Blythe Valley park

Can't see any specific details on there, but it's what was the S2/S3/S3W. Implies that NXWM has won the 31 then, unless Landflight have that too. Contracts were originally two years, but fair play to Landflight for winning them for five years.

New Enviro200MMCs I hear.

31 to Landflight apparently

Will it still be terminating at the Station, or or will they bring it back into the Town Centre in Solihull?

31 to Landflight apparently

Sounds like Landflight have cleaned up then...
