Only T69 out today was 08. The last day of operation of these must be soon. Is there going to be any celebration?

According to the Express & Star, the line to Wolverhampton St Georges should open at the end of the month and, when that happens, the T69's will be withdrawn.

Are they still being mothballed in case of a future extension to the Merry Hill Centre via Dudley?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

And the tramway's about as likely to open to St Georges by the end of next week!

Going to miss the T69s - prefer them to the new trams. Love the heating on them and seats are much better, and I like the platform at either end of the trams. The CAFs aren't that well built if you ask me - ride quality is poor at times and make as much noise as the T69s. Minor rattling coming from various panels and squeaking rubber gangways.

16 was out yesterday. So there are at least 3 left available - 08/09/16.
