5516 hanging onto its wn home. on the 1 again today. not sure if this is the last b5 left?

Only 5418 is still at BC, so probably. 5418 wasn't out today, so swop will no doubt happen when 5418 is fit!

5418? That's a WN E400H. Typo error for 5408?

That's quite a typo, the 0 and 1 are at opposite ends of the keyboard! Unless you use a numberpad.

I wonder if they will put 5516 on the 59 before going to BC like they did 5515

I've been told that 2016 has had its rear advert removed.

My bet is that they are Spectra's being withdrawn!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

More than likely mercs considering all will be gone by August. I'd imagine with PVR decreases due to the implementation of summer timetables means we can withdraw a couple of buses without replacement

There is no truth in the rumour that all of Wolverrhampton's Mercedes will be withdrawn in August, however referring to BN's original post it is quite possible that 1650 & 1660 will be in service tomorrow for the final time (not 100% it is possible they could hang on a few more days) So if anyone wants a last ride on those two I should get to Wolverhampton

mranon

with 3 spectras being withdrawn i'd have thought it might be 4001/2 as they are significant, but surely a merc withdrawal wouldnt create a sudden urge to ride them lol
