Haven't used a bus in ages mind, prefer to use the train.
Since I wrote this post, I notice this message on the local village website...

Surprised you haven't put a picture of Les Ross' train up yet, Nick :lol:

I'll put my 2p worth in as my 1st post on this side!

I do wish Travel West Midlands had just stuck their new National Express fleetname over the old livery, like they had done when changing from West Midlands Travel to Travel West Midlands 12 years ago1

Now you have the confusing situation of Travel West Midlands fleetname & livery on most of the fleet, with the rest of the fleet gradually getting the new red & white livery, plus 'West Midlands Part Of National Express' fleetname, with one double decker at least getting the new livery & 'National Express West Midlands' fleetname for publicity purposes!

Even new bus timetable leaflets issued in Walsall recently are a mixture of Travel West Midlands branded & West Midlands part of National Express material!

No constiency ! :x

I haven't read this forum for ages, but all this talk of buses and the 'creative' use of a padlock in another thread, I might spend some more time around here ;)

Excuse me passengers, could you please tell me where we are going and which way to turn? Ta.
That could well be a picture from brief period when, Pete's Travel operated alongside First here in Redditch!

I couldn't resist.

Would it be worrying if I said knew there would be more Class 43s coming down this way in the next few months?

thank you Gav :oops:

I guess that's better than being told I had 'weird' hair on an old avatar of me.
