Ah, interesting, I can see them fully replacing the Tempos then, although that will mean it will be going from 4 active buses to 3. I guess the Solo could be used on occasion though, if it's needed.

Why would it mean a reduction from 4 to 3

Since there's 4 Tempo's right now, and they're likely gonna be replaced by the 3 B5TL's? Or do they only use 3 Tempos at the same time?

Interesting, quite a bit more capacity than the old Tempo's then. I wonder if there'll be a new timetable introduced at all with a slightly higher frequency.

I was just about to point out there were two GJU'S - but thats only in the quote, Tony's original post has GJV for the second one!

Spotted one tonight around half 4 while waiting for a 529, which confused 2 old biddies on the Wolverhampton Road to Walsall, as it had no display, and moaned slightly to our driver as it gone past them without stopping!
