are still in use, most have satalite on the vehicles as well, not sure if
these do in Y ...

What constitutes a "local" bus service?
Mon, 05 May 2008 02:27:27 +0100
Since HMG decided to issue these pan-England bus passes to the over
60s, they are only usable on "local" bus services. What constitutes a
"local" bus service for this purpose?
Holders of the Pan-Scotland bus pass allows over 60s to travel on any
Scottish bus service whether long distance or local?
When are w ...

Arriva Midlands
Sun, 04 May 2008 23:29:39 +0100
It is probably my imagination but is there a reason why Arriva Midlands
seems to be the most proactive and well rewarded (in terms of new buses
and investment) part of the Arriva empire?.
I read today that Arriva Derby are getting 50+ new buses while Leicester
and Tamworth have got new vehicles while the Canno ...

I hope someone is watching the clock to see how long it takes Boris to
keep his promise on getting rid of Bendy buses and introducing a new
route master.
Lets see if it was all hot air !

TWM New Livery spreading
Thu, 1 May 2008 15:44:15 +0100
I've just seen the first new liveried Travel West Midlands bus to
venture into "my" part of the region (Warley/Londonderry), Volvo B6LE
606. I still think the new liver is a bit insipid but it does keep
making me think there's a 1970 Midland Red bus heading towards me. Red
is "right" in these parts, despit ...
