Back to PEZ earlier today , I think this mini-bus should carry the name Captain Scarlet because if I remember the theme to this TV show correctly , it went " . . . . . . . . indestructible - Captain Scarlet".

PEZ is a legend in it's own lifetime. I like the way that it just keeps going in the face of all the changes around it not to mention the disability access laws etc. None of the passengers seem to care, there's a sense of anarchical humour to it all.

FN54FLC is back, with Clearway logo under windscreen and fully programmed destination display. Seen this morning near Bromsgrove school.
I saw it out Tuesday morning but come the afternoon PEZ was on duty

On Monday saw from a distance FN54FLC in Bromsgrove Bus Station on Tuesday whilst passing saw a Kev's bus on the Charford stand and today Wednesday I was passing through Charford and followed a Kev's bus up Gilbert Road until it pulled over to pick some punters up.
Question have Clearway borrowed a bus or have Kev's took over the 93/99.Both times seen from the rear so unable to view the destination display or driver.
More importantly where is PEZ

Ha. You beat me to it by a few minutes. From what could see mid afternoon today, A Kev's Primo ,KX57FML , was operating Wheelers/Clearways town service with the regular Wheelers driver. The bus had Kev's legal lettering but no working destination displays. I would bet [ no more than ten bob ] that PEZ will be back before the weekend.

Thanks Andrew.I couldn't see a working destination display in my rear view mirror as I overtook it.
Got me wondering though if they may try and take over the route at some point especially when they decide that PEZ's time is finally up

Sure enough, PEZ is back on the Charfords this morning!
It appears to refuse to give up!

Enjoy your winnings

would've had a punt myself but being a near certainty the odds on offer were very small
