..... " Your Mission Tim, - should you decide to accept it," - is to get a photo of 32646 in Leicester City livery , on the 37 along Grange Avenue !! ( - totally unthinkable in MRW days !!) Unfortunately, the current bus graph does not appear to have any regular usage of DDs on the 32S / 37, but may...

Some of the B7L's are returning to Leicester this week where they will be withdrawn. Drivers are going to collect some more Citaros from Slough to replace them. Thought the B7Ls would be here longer! Thanks bmmoboy :) Has 32646 arrived from Potteries yet? Yes, 32646 has arrived, (- it was on the pa...

And there were DD's out on Sunday on the Malvern 44 and Dines Green 30 as well. Nice!!

It was a decker on the short X50 today, I caught it earlier. 32644.

Thanks v. much Adam !!

This looks very smart in the photos on Flickr ( - click on the button i...

Thanks asb, and Tim for the info above. -- I might have been banging my head against the wall without it !! Ironically, having printed off the timetable from the Johnsons website, I had cause to look at the new traveline version, as it shows ALL stops ( - if you click on that button), - and it incor...

Yes, - brilliant photo, thanks !!

I got a big shock this afternoon when driving along the City Walls Road c.16.00. A smart modern Johnsons DOUBLE DECKER was displaying 150C, and was heading towards the Kings School. The bustimes tracker confirms it, and Johnsons new timetable shows additional stops at Kings, and the Royal Grammar Sc...

Thanks for that photo willr7, - that looks like a "template" for a livery to suit Midland Red colours of red and maroon, and cream to suit Midland Red West
