I believe 1540 was the one still parked at Hanson's depot after the depot was emptied over the weekend, was cleared, I assume it was waiting for a tow truck to take it to Tividale.
0031 was acquired, but was also badly damaged, not sure on the status of that one.

When I passed the old Hansons yard today, there are still 2 buses parked there. Sadly as I was driving didn't get a proper chance to ID them. Parked at the very front of the yard against the wall.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Trident 4194

Black diamond dart on 004.

Also timetables are completely wrong on bus stops, and drivers don't have a clue what time they should be due. Shame that this has happened

The current timetable is exactly the same as it was under Hanson's, the 004 timetable doesn't change until 3rd Sept (Sunday)

Can I ask who officially now runs the Hansons routes because surely the new registrations don't take affect till the middle of September?

I suspect 21000 will go direct for scrap from there

Most likely, I believe 30892 needs a new engine
