Thanks Winston - didn't know they were still using Lea Hall as a storage place.

I'm note sure of the arrangement, the depot building was sold & is occupied by a fabric recycling company. The outside yard is still currently being used by NXWM for storing the reserve fleet, not sure if that is short-term or permanent?

I paid a visit to Lea Hall on Sunday, a lot of buses stored there. Through gaps in the fence I could see 1523, 1599, 1604 & 1697 but there were an awful lot more mostly parked closely together.

Thanks for the confirmation, that's filled in a few blanks!

564 is now at Pensnett reserve fleet. I think that is a new addition.

Most days 244 does the same running board, starts off on the 700 school service, then does all journeys on the 336, then switches to the 335 at 15:50 until the end of service
