I don't work in Solihull anymore so don't get to see much what's happening bus-wise round there now. Last time I caught the S9 was when NXWM operated it!

I've seen the Streetlites occasionally when they've been used on the 36, that's all.

Maybe because one of the types are not avaliable at the time so another type is used (All are similar sizes and capacities so all would be suitable)

You missed out the coach!

It gets what its given! The 'extra' buse of a morning is the bus that comes of the S9 - usually one of the branded enviro 200s. It seems to have the new, short enviro 200 on it most of the time now. Saturday, used to be 2 solos, but now it can be anything. When the remaining 2 enviros arrive - I think they have 2 more on order! it should become just enviros, with a streetlite maybe for the 'extra' on a Saturday.

It's good to see Silverline drivers still cutting off the route. Even when they're not late and have passengers on board!

E200 YX63ZXM new to silverline

http://wmbusphotos.com/Silverline/YX63ZXM.html

It was new to them earlier this year (sometime between September 2013 and March of this year), hence the '63' plate, not a '14' plate
