Walsall Garage

[The Real 4778]

I missed the event due to other commitments but sounds like a deliberate swansong to me. Would've been cool to see from the bar of The Gate!

[Trident 4194]

What is replacing the high backed geminis? Also with 4763-4775 going to Coventry what will replace these on the x51/997? I know platinum mmcs are due but not that soon.

[Liberator9]

The Platinum MMCs will be within a month or two - WA are probably up a few buses to requirements at the moment anyway - have a few extra Scanias and ALX400s which can easily cover for any outgoing buses.

Been told the platinums won't be arriving until the end of July

4141 out in the 51

Around 1725, 1436 was receiving some attention to its os bodywork in the bus station.

4680-6 were new while I was a driver at Walsall, always been some of my favourite buses to drive, sad to see them leaving

Sorry if I've been a bit slow or missed something but why have they gone to Dundee?

[Trident 4609]

301/2 return branded on the 34E tonight. Seen shortly before 9pm in Bilston.

1475 also on late night Darlastons tonight. I thought the late boards would be Scania's. Nice to see a B10L on lates

    4298 on 51, overtook by another 42xx on 997, and passed on the opposit side by 4263 on 934. All on a Sunday!


That's because nearly all the unbranded Enviro 400s are on 'Iron Man' services today, here is the bus I was driving, 4875

I know that photo looks like I stopped and caused a traffic jam to get the photo, but honestly I was in a queue of Stationary traffic!

Was this the one that came past Bloxwich Asda between 2 & 3 this afternoon towards depot, as I saw an Enviro with 'Iron Man' on the side display?

[Tony]

Not me, I was back in garage by 11:30, but there were about 12 vehicles on there, I was running board 'N'
