Operator: Stagecoach in Warwickshire Fleet Number: 13650 Registration: H627 LNA Destination: 882 KE Five Ways / Hall Green
The model represents Stagecoach in Warwickshire 13650 (H627 LNA) in the Green Bus livery that formerly operated with Citybus in Hong Kong as its 160 (ET 1190). Although most of the former Citybus 11m coaches have served on the Megabus network, the arrival of new Neoplan coaches rendered some Olympians surplus to the requirements of the Megabus fleet, and toilets were not needed on these. 13650 initially served in Manchester on MagicBus routes before being transferred to Stagecoach in Warwickshire. 13650 is one of four that entered service on the Green Bus routes. The Green Transport Company runs bus services to schools in the UK using its Dutch-designed “The Green Bus” brand. Four ex-Hong Kong megadeckers are operated by Stagecoach in Warwickshire on behalf of The Green Transport Company, and are based at Leamington depot. Each carrying 94 passengers, the coach-seated, air-conditioned megadeckers have become popular with pupils. They operate throughout Birmingham and the West Midlands on services to and from King Edward VI Five Ways School, and are available for private hire. more.. | |

 more | Corgi 1/76 Trolleybus Wolverhampton No.8 Fighting Cocks (OM40102A) The Wolverhampton Corporation Transport Department purchased parts of two tramway companies in 1923, eventually electrifying them. Trolleybus operation commenced in 1923, using �trackless� style vehicles as tram replacements.
Trolleybuses of a more modern outline, reputedly the first in Britain, arrived in 1926. From 1931 there was a joint service with Walsall�s trolleybuses. The Guy Motors factory was situated in the town, so Guy buses and Sunbeam trolleybuses were favoured in the town�s purchases until 1969 when production ceased.
The decision to abandon the trolleybus fleet was made in 1961 and the last one ran in 1967. The Wolverhampton Corporation Transport Department was absorbed by the new West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive in 1969. | |

 more | Corgi 1/76 Dart SLF/Pointer 1 Trent Barton the villager (OM44710) Of the 54 Plaxton-bodied Dennis Darts in the Trent Barton fleet, six are branded in Villager livery to work on the V1, V2 and V3 routes between Derby and Burton-upon-Trent. They are based at the company's Meadow Road depot in Derby. The brand took its name from the villages served along the way, such as Findern, Willington, Repton, Etwall, Hilton, Tutbury and Stretton. It is very popular within these local communities who dubbed it The Sheep Bus after its original livery. The unofficial soubriquet stuck so well that Trent Barton insisted on retaining the sheep imagery as a touch of humour when the new brand identity was commissioned from Ray Stenning this year. There are even sheep transfers on the ticket machines! The Villager Darts have been given a major makeover inside and out, including a change of interior seating layout to give more generous 2+1 seating in the front section, rather than four seats across the bus. | |

 more | Oxford Diecast 1/76 Coventry Transport Regent Bus (RT025) A Coventry Transport Regent on route 2 to Radford, but a thousand years ago it was a very different place. It was no more than a hamlet of a few scattered dwellings. And yet, just three of four hundred years later, it was reckoned to be the fourth city in England after London, Bristol and York. The wealth of the city was built on wool both at home and abroad. Such was the wealth of the city and the confidence that it was decided to encircle the city with a wall. With this wealth came all the trappings of success, tradesmen, monasteries and fine buildings. | |
