yes but B6s & Spectras are now time limited, so when they have gone there won't be much variety!

But worst location to live for everything else
Wolverhampton is nowhere near as bad as some other places in the Midlands.....

There are many areas in Birmingham, Walsall, Dudley, Sandwell that are worse or just as bad.
Infact every town and city in the country has trouble, rough areas and estates with bad reputations....
Anyway as Stu says, won't be much 'variety' round here anymore. It already seems like Trident City!
Not being funny Matt but you don't live in Wolves so your statement is invalid

Which reminds me I need to go on a spectra in the coming weeks
Well you are in luck as they are appearing on most of WN's services atm.
Apart from the 11,32,33 and 82 i've noted them on in recent weeks:
1,4,5,59,79,126,255,256,257 and 529

I would have to do a Saturday, I'm most interested in getting 4001/4002 as they seem the nicest ones

@Trident 4194 On Saturdays, you have to add the 25 into the Spectra pool, and take out the 11/32/33, as they normally get B6's, if that helps :)
Outside a depot?
Hagley Road gets a variety of buses.
Anyone know where 4001/4002 are today?

4002 was on board 11/06 i believe (Did afternoon peak 54)
Druids Heath terminus. You'll have a constant view of buses to gaze lovingly at all day every day.
There is no generic best place, a place is only good if it offers vehicles etc that you like, you all know me as a shed veg but id rather go on an Olympian that's "far too old to still be used in 2015* (generic views of those on here) yeah Olympian compared to those who are like kids on Christmas morning at the sight of MMC's but yeah, individual tastes.
I have always said that Halesowen gets the newest buses from all operators that use the station.
e400
e400 mmc's
e200

Mercs soon to be banished!

Hansons Arriva and obviously Diamond still use old buses in Halesowen though.
What do you have against diamond
@Matt ?
Try living on their former swift branded route
@Trident 4194 and you'll see how bad diamond can be!
For me, it's Manchester. Euro 4 Voith Enviro 400s, enough said

I agree with that. As a child we lived just a small distance from Washwood Heath garage, and although at one point we only had two vehicle types (Fleetlines and Metrobuses) and never any more than five with the addition of Lynxes, Metroriders and ALX100's they were great days seeing all the comings and goings and watching all the buses return after peak workings etc.
Kidderminster is just a brilliant place if you are a bus enthusiast.
Lot of interpendents like Coniston Coaches & R & B Travel
Diamond Bus with very interesting vehicle history and their depot is in the middle of a roundabout with a public footpath around it.

Although it's not the greatest place to live as Reece will back me up in saying he is in a sense correct by saying Kidderminster is good for enthusiasts
merry hill or dudley for the different operators

Same with me. I live(d) quite close to Hockley Garage. Shame it's close now. I used to see Optare Solos, and three Mercs, all the time. I remember once, seeing a B7TL go into the garage, whilst I was waiting for a Soho Road bus into Handsworth. I miss those days.
