I wouldn't be surprised if they never came back into service. However I would like to see them back one more time, as I never even got to sample one.

They will hopefully be able to use them from next week 

I've just seen an abellio London single dicker bus looks like a wrightbus vehicle (maybe a GB kite??) around AG, What's it doing around there nearly 100 miles away?

On delivery, they all call in Graysons at Tyseley 

I was more on about the Car speeding not the bus a bus can't really speed down there as it has to give way to Traffic or maneuver through The parked cars. Plus based on the location the bus would have been slowing down ready for the turn onto Poplar Ave

It as nothing to do with the car speeding the car was actually going very slowly

Theres scania , Gemini and alx400 sat in Pensnett garage, is that all scrap?

There's no Gemini there

Enough to replace all the non Euro 6 vehicles?

Yes, but won't happen 

What time did 1846 have it's RTC I saw it earlier yesterday and are you sure it was an RTC and not ASB

err yes, it was an RTC, and one that will have written the bus off

First 24 registrations at last!

42 are so far registered, 10 with 73 plates and 32 with 24 plates

What about the 8a and 8c

No, the first 42 are going on the routes listed 

It's looking likely from early June the new electrics will be scheduled on to all of the following routes, obviously not all buses on each route:

7, 16, 33, 52, 65, 67, 101, 907, X3, X4, X5 & X14

every route at PB that is double deck

See answer 647 along with several others

Thing is people are moaning about the 79 not being reliable when the Wolverhampton 1 is far more unreliable

Do you have figures to show that?

I thought I saw in another article - possibly on the Birmingham Mail - that he had said within 3 years.

This has been mooted for some time though, I wouldn't be surprised if TfWM already have plans at a very advanced stage, hence the recent purchase of NX's Walsall garage by the WMCA.

I still also believe that this would be going ahead even if Andy Street was voted back in.

Yes, I know Labour Councillors who actually praised Andy Street for doing a good job during his tenure, but he would have been fighting a losing battle for getting money for anything other than franchising with the expected Labour government

When franchising happens in WM, do u think they will follow London or Manchester's method?

London: Operators have their own depot and bid for routes
Manchester: Council owns the depot and the vehicles and the operator bids for it


^ think thats how they work, correct me if im wrong

Manchester: TfWM only own certain depots and buses

Another golden oldie making a comeback today.

4492 is back in use after a 7 month rest, mostly at hartshornes!
