I saw Walsall's 639 on the 651 today, recently ago 632 was on loan to PB. Are they short of the smaller single deckers (solo's)

Tony

3 solos were dead when I went in PB today, one, 287, has not yet been used at PB

Stu

Seems a waste of time and money repainting it!  :(
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

They are doing quite a bit of internal work on it before it enters service

I saw 1584 a couple times on the 17 (BY), is this a loan or a perm, I think it could possibly be a loan, because I haven't seen 1832 for a while, my guess is that they're installing a rear LED blind on it, I also heard that 1557 is now at Coventry.

Ash

Yeah 1557 is in the older travel coventry livery as the front only needs to be repainted, with all the gemini's coming to WB this will leave a number of merc's spare to loan out or for mass withdrawal but i hope the b6le go first and 7084/7086.

KayP

I was always under the impression that WB were gonna keep 7084/7086 and use it on smaller services, i.e. 414, 444, 644, 688 etc.

7084/7086 is usually seen on the b6le operated routes 401/2 (even tho this generally mercs now) and the 428/429 and on occasions the 405/6

Ash

622 ia another b6le that has come from pensnett to walsall seen on the 34 today

John

This thread can be used to note buses that are on loan to other garages.

I'll start it off. 1674 was on the 53/289 today, so was either on loan to Pensnett or West Brom.
