When they did this last time, it was a 4 minute journey and a PVR of 1 or 2. They just ran in line with the metro schedule on the NEXUS website but i found it to just run whenever tbh. The contract is still open for grabs i think


is 6132 on loan to Washington? Clocked it on the app on the X1
no mate its not,just saw it on the scholars 677

Well, considering Go North West operate in what is quite obviously the North West Midlands and nowhere near the North West, even the name doesn't work!



Sorry, but every time I read the words "Go North West" my brain conveniently filters out the "North" bit

Is there a reason that the Indigo services have a different NSA wording than other services. In that they say "service" before the number.
It sounds strange to me that they say "This is the Indigo Service 204 to...", where all the others that I've heard say "Castles Express X21 service" or "Angel 21 service"

Not that it actually makes any difference, it just doesn't seem grammatically correct to me

The Red Kites say "Red Kite 47 service" and "Red Kite 45 service" so I don't think that's it. It just seem strange that Indigo is the only one (that I've seen anyway) to have it the other way round

I wonder if they'll actually bother putting the NSAs back on, we still don't have any on the X21! Maybe because it'll be getting changed to X-lines so why bother updating it twice!

I take it, 6113 has gone now?

The refurbishments have gone quite quick, as there's only 5 at Percy Main to go... 6100, 6114, 6115, 6116, 6117

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

The heat must be having an affect on the drivers, I've lost count of how many buses I've been on this week where they've gone the wrong way!

Will the redundant TFT NSA screens still fitted inside the Cobalt & Coast B9TLs be removed eventually or will they be used as advertising screens?

Think they are removed completely and replaced with LED displays. Notice the monitors and poles are gone from upper windscreen on all refurbed B9s
