Centrebus

[Trident 4194]

20913 is a standard one, the one on the picture looks way smaller than 20010

I'm pretty sure Western Greyhound used to have some of these very small solos with one door. To serve the very small narrow roads in the VIilages

I was very surprised to see a University Hospitals Of Leicester branded Omnilink going round the island at Yardley, Swan at 07:50 this morning heading towards Birmingham City Centre along the Coventry Rd.
Does anyone know what it was doing?

Maybe heading for the Keltruck place near Willenhall, or another site, for warranty work ?

Large fire next door to Centrebus depot on Wenlock Way Leicester, doesn't look like any vehicles affected.

A bad company imo. Poor driving standards (drivers on the wrong side of the road, over the speed limit etc.), they often give you the wrong tickets, poor frequency on routes, plus the older vehicles being more polluting than a cow.

You know, there was a time when Centrebus had some brilliant vehicles. I remember when they had the ex-Birmingham MCW Metrobuses on the 54 and 104, and there's no doubt if they lived to compete against First and Arriva on those services respectively now, they would definitely be my choice to travel the route with. Really, the next best thing would have been to have kept the Trident ALX400s on the 22A and 22B or 54A.

I think this was the one that I saw going through Warstones, Wolverhampton a couple of weeks ago, the one that i saw didn't have any logos on.

Does anyone happen to know the registrations and fleet numbers of the Ex Metrolime Volvo B7TL Plaxton Presidents that Centrebus have acquired in Leicester for the university shuttles?
They have had their registrations changed which is making it hard for me to find out what one specific vehicle was.

According to Flickr, 932 is 'LK04 NNC'

My bus to University for three years was the Centrebus "Hospital Hopper". All around a very pleasant experience. Nice buses (Plaxton Centro, and Scanias that I presume were intended for NX:WM as they have identical interiors) and drivers that wave to you in the street when they recognise you. I would be happy to see them in the West Midlands at some point.
