I just had a look on Bustimes website and by a strange coincidence 64033 worked a short 144A to Catshill and then operated;
144 Crowngate depart 14-20 Birmingham arrive 16-15.
Birmingham depart 16-25 Crowngate arrive 18-05.
Anyone photograph it in Birmingham?

It looks as though First Student and First Transit businesses in the US have been sold as per the attached article in The Daily Mail City & Finance section today Friday 28 May 2021: If you click on the image it will appear the correct way up!

Only Salt Road buses and Streetdecks have ventured to Birmingham for over a year now, if anything else is allocated, it is quickly replaced with a Euro 6 vehicle. Have the two grey spare bus Citaros been upgraded to Euro 6 exhaust standard, and if so have they found their way all the way to Birming...

This article titled 'Transport giant Arriva faces being broken up' featured in the Business section of The Sunday Telegraph on 23 May 2021. I had to split it as the page was too long to fit my scanner.

A strange fact is emerging that the Citaros are just not used on the weekends, even the 35 was being worked on Sunday 23 May 2021 by Volvo/Centros 66694/5/6 – so why are th...

Whilst clearing out a load of paperwork I discovered this leaflet lurking at the bottom of a cardboard box. It was too long to scan each side in one so the pages are out of sequence, but you can see the whole lot. If you click on each picture it will turn through 90 degrees and become readable. The ...

196101 visited Worcester Shrub Hill today 17 May 2021 for trials and driver familiarisation.

53061 and 2 were both parked in the scrapline at Padmore Street yesterday morning at 07.30, and neither had ticket machines fitted, so I think it must be an error on Bustimes. Just seen 53062 working past my house on the 15-25 route 37 back into Crowngate. Managed a very long shot which shows the r...
