Walsall Garage

[P419 EJW]

1421 on Darlaston rota so far this morning.

In case anyone is interested - 1421 will depart Wolverhampton Bus Station on the 39 at 11:35. 

[Squiz1971]

I know I've mentioned this before, but does anyone else think it would be a good idea if one of Walsall's Platinum was named after R. Edgley Cox, last general manager of Walsall Corporation Transport? 
Who makes these decisions and could take a suggestion?

I second that! Mr Edgley Cox should be honoured as I mentioned before in the Preserved Buses thread

Branded?

I've been told that streetly and City express are been put back into one group so will that mean a generic "birmingham-walsall" branding?


Edit: forgot about 936,935a which go to brownhills!

They wouldn't include 935a, as it's subsidised surely?

When will the next Platinums be delivered?

The branding might not involve the number itself but the would say "Aldridge" and "Brownhills" for the 936 so covers the 935a journeys well enough I'd say

Having been on 6721 I must say that the new style bell is horrid. Instead of being yellow with a red button they are red with a yellow button and it does not work well IMO

[Other Walsall Tony]

I was told at Aldridge that ALL Platinum E400MMCs are now limited to 50mph, including those on the 900.

[The Fox 4846]

It could be something like:
Fast services from Birmingham to Kingstanding, Walsall, Aldridge & Brownhills

[Trident 4194]

1) is it mainly Volvo b7rles allocated to 311/313?
2) what routes are the high backed omnilinks allocated or is it random?

1) Yes
2) I've seen a few on the 34,38,39 but I believe it is random
