Ah so the E200s and the E400 MMCs are being registered in Scotland for their number plates and not here.

Yeah they are - the 64 reg Enviros are the same.

There is no local DVLA office anymore. The last batches of new buses were not registered here either.

Rhys a staff bus is a bus which picks up drivers early in the morning before any service buses are running and takes them back at night after the last bus has departed.

Not sure if it still does it, but sometimes the staff bus would transport drivers between Pensnett and Stourbridge bus station especially on Sundays.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Yeah still does. E.g. driver takes a bus out at start of duty so parks car at garage. Their duty finishes at Stour so they book the staff bus for a set time (10-15 mins after they hand over) to take them back to garage where their car is.

And even the staff bus can run late.... Or not at all if the driver is given a duty as in what happened Saturday night
