Yes, 9/20. Does a 9 from Halesowen to city then 9E back to Halesowen. Then I believe private to Merry Hill and picks up X10 for the day.

Does it not go to Stourbridge at all then??

Presume it will get put in service. Not a clue what route though? 243/244 could have it ;)

It's not going into service anywhere, just for garages to look at, already left Pensnett

What was the point then? Nx wouldn't be interested in anything like that anyway

They obviously are or they wouldn't have it

A minibus might be the answer to keep lightly used routes commercially viable or make tendered routes more profitable due to its lower running costs

From what I have seen sometimes, a taxi would be to big for the 205!  ;D ;D

Are they going to get some for the revenue teams to use or is going to be for the training school I can't see any other reason why they have the demo

Why would the revenue team need a full PCV spec bus?

The have a demo to Demonstrate strange enough

Maybe they're looking at bringing back the 'Merry Hill Mini's' concept....

Personally I couldn't see these being used in passenger service. My first thought though was that they may be useful if NX was looking to expand on its private hire and contract business - not everyone wants or needs to hire a full-size bus, these mini-buses could be ideal for hiring to smaller groups or schools for example.
