What garage has the most spares? I would think Walsall as their fleet alone is 200 odd buses

Im will have to check the fleet list , Ive been looking at the list last night, lots of withdrawn stuff listed, is most the stuff listed withdrawn actually sold/scrapped or still with the company?

Wrong on both, or at least the latter, definitely. BC is the largest at 210 some odd vehicles then WN second at around 205. So the largest amount of spares could be any garage, not just either of those two!
Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...

As it is done on a percentage of the fleet, largest fleet, largest amount of spares

Thanks guys, I am pretty sure when Tony first said about the presidents into WA and loss of the Decker Gemini, the WA fleet was at 202 I recall? WA defo is the largest garage though, according to google maps view, WA has a massive yard with WN quite big too.  would love to see the inside of WA/WN, hopefully some open days can be organised this year.  :D

It's worth noting WA also has a coach fleet and it also houses the paint shop of NXWM so it has to cater for those buses going into paint.

I thought it was 171?

Tomf1993

I had it as 172 once, then Looked at the fleet list more carefully and came up to 202 , but this was months ago now when the presidents first came into WA again and when the Decker Gemeni was leaving plus WA had those old Merc things than aswell. my list of 202 was when the Platinum were arriving aswell
