Saw this the other day at Maypole, looks a right mess... Fleet presentation has certainly gone down at Igo since they first started running bus routes (had to crop original due to file size limits)

I've noticed some dodgy looking igo buses too. They definitely had higher standards before

[BK63 YWP]

Diamond might be going in for the buy hence the new standards haha

I've noticed the Igo President Bodied Trident and a Igo E200 seem to be crossing the Fox and Goose and comming down Coleshill Road in Ward End at about 15:25 on a daily basis, I saw them again this afternoon, have Igo got some sort of contract the Tridents are now being used on?

[Dylanbusboy45]

Igo have got another Metrocity coming soon, presumably for the 145.
