@karl724223 - are these wee beasties any good, or much different from the 11 reg or the proper NXWM 14 reg ones - I don't travel on West Midlands ones but some of Go Ahead London's 61 reg are appalling rattle traps (and they don't have a coin vault) - the driver's door and bus door/ramp area being especially noisy, others and especially 65 reg are actually quite smooth and pleasant - the short wheelbase seems to accentuate either non smooth driving style or non smooth mechanicals (especially transmission and suspension) - in lay mans terms, would I get a nice kip on one after a skinful of Bathams, now the pubs are back open, or would I be in danger of vomiting with motion sickness 😁

i find with the baby 7xx the state of the roads make them buses a lot worse than what they are
Some of our 7xx buses are like little go carts how fast they go

I saw a little bus on the 126 t16 plate when going to five ways gym last night.

Maybe it was having a run out? It had trade plates on coming from Wolverhampton Rd then it turned left onto Stallings Lane?

Has Karl crashed some of the platinum MMCs at PN?
Seen 2 red mmcs on the 9 yesterday and saw 4756 on x10 today which for a Sunday seems rare

Just because its a sunday a number of reasons  i think the platinum  9   or X10 service interwork on sunday  could be on other service   off for checks or depends on whete they are parked  in the depot  on Saturday  th same as above but don't think on Saturday they Interwork.
