just a question who is running the 4/4m/4h Walsall as they had the 404 or is it split between WA and WB

Ash

It was ran by Walsall garage and used the normal branded omnilinks with a few unbranded ones.

Ash

A 51 branded enviro 400 broke down on the 51 today in Walsall think it was 4860 could be wrong though.

Sounds as though it could be another B10L leaving the Car Park for Pensnett or Lea Hall

It was on the Sutton side. Does it make a difference?

4184 & 4393 both on the 900

1) I was on 4184 heading into Birmingham and when it reached Deritend, Adderley Street for a Driver Change the driver said to us can u all get off not sure why but I think it had something to do with the battery because the Driver had to Rev it while it was still at the stop not long after we all got off 4031 appeared on the 73 so we all got on 4031 to get into the City Centre

2) 4393 had its engine bonnet up at the back at around 7:40 this morning by Aldi in Sheldon seen it while I was on 4184
60 Birmingham - Cranes Park

A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

Why do they put older buses on the 900 which is a demanding route??

BC doesn't have any newer double deckers than the 54 reg Tridents, but didn't those have problems with grounding or possibly by being damaged on the traffic calming humps around the airport?
