???? 26 – Shrewsbury – Meole Village
???? 64 – Shrewsbury – Market Drayton – Newcastle – Hanley

???? 558 – Shrewsbury – Montgomery
The bus company will be titled ‘Hotspur’, with buses in a red and blue livery, and will be based at a new depot in Shrewsbury. Hotspur will be part of the Centrebus Group, a locally owned bus operator running 400 buses throughout the Midlands

It also sounds like since that announcement they've also been awarded the Shrewsbury Park & Ride contract as well.]]>

The Arriva Kent Thameside & North East E400MMC's are all brand new 26 plate and have been delivered here before their proper homes (some may have been used at Silverstone last week....not 100% sure what ones if so)

Last day tomorrow and I'm told 67 buses will be required at the end, which is over double what is listed above.

In addition, I've seen a pic of ANE 7716 and also ANE 7401 has also been sighted by someone else. Also, ANE 7706 is apparently in Canning Road depot, but not seen use to my knowledge (issues with it?)

A few pics from Thursday & today by me
