Right now, there's a StreetDeck on the "full" 144 to B'ham (according to the tracker) -- -- it should be in central Brum c.16.15. It's 35157, and yesterday I noticed it's lost it's "Malverns" logo from it's lower-front panel, but I couldn't see if any other Malvern decoration has...

Tim, I have "copied" you in getting in contact with Diamond, to alert them about the possible withdrawal (/ reduction) of the 37. Like most "enthusiasts", I am not a fan of Diamond, but I have admired their sustained 303 timetable, and their lowest cost operation -- -- they have ...

A little bit more :-

I would be interested to hear from anyone who works for First as to whether the new traffic lights and other details, between the bus station and Sidbury are helping the buses (or not !)

Any reason why all the Streetdecks were in the depot today?? 4 Tridents and both B7TLs out on 30 and 44 (according to bustimes ;) ) I spotted that too, Birmingham_Bus ! The last time that happened (I think) they were having their "Malverns decoration" updated -- "up-to 7 buses per ho...

BMMO started running buses up Ombersley Road on Wednesday 4th November 1914, to Kidderminster and Stourbridge, on Service 37. Yes, same route number! That route was later the 315/6 and now the 303. OK, this is not a local route like the original W1 from 1928 or today’s 37, and before 1928 they were...

Is the "threat" to withdraw (or reduce) the 37 actually just a ploy to get the council to cough-up the money from the housing developers at the top of the Ombersley Road ?? I don't know how these things work, and the last time I tried to get information via google about possible payments t...

I see on bustimes.org this afternoon, that a DD (33405) has been used on the new S5 -- -- that's the first time as far as I know ( willr7 ?). Unfortunately it wasn't then used on a further service in the Pershore area, but that might be a future opportunity ( - for single-decker or DD). I like the ...

I've noticed 20202 has been parked in the "scrap corner" in recent days, so this prompts me to ask if anyone knows if 20611/12 have been used on the S55 yet ?
