30821 is now withdrawn. due to oil pressure engine issue.

@Wba_lad - where has this information come from?

You haven't thought this through have you:
Where would you get the double deckers from ? With single deckers already appearing on double decker routes in Birmingham, especially YW services 2 and 3, also frequently appearing on PB services 7, 33, 65, 67 and 907. Which routes would have to lose it's double deckers to put on to the 4s ?

There's 80 new DD EV's virtually ready to enter service for a start, resulting in cascaded DD's elsewhere + allowing for single deckers to be withdrawn. With another 90 due to complete full 170 order. Plus another few hundred to follow. 

Was on my driving lesson and seen a electric bus FXE I think last three letters of the reg was with Tony driving what one was this please?

There is no FXE, there's an FKE, all registrations are below on the main site:

Preston's B7RLE 30858 is currently on the 192 with Preston base livery + Diamond Fleetnames & paper route number

Mobico senior executives have once again rattled the stock market by delaying FY results due to 'accounting judgments' in the German Rail business:

Does anyone have any idea what will happen with the Boa Vista's ?? Are there any other NX routes that would have a use for such vehicles or will they get sold off ??

The 66 plate Boa Vista's will be too old, they'll be 8 years old this Autumn. I suspect they will all be returned off lease & sold off including the 18 plate examples. 

I understand that spare parts aren't that easy to source & they're not that reliable. 

No because 4982 has been painted grey

4982 is a WN bus. 

the West Midlands version of Bee Network then... hmm I'm intrigued

Bee Network isn't a livery. WM Bus is no more inspiring.... 

It isn't the only site that Transport for West Midlands own in the West Midlands that is capable of being a bus depot and certainly doesn't sound like it will be the last.

Franchising here we come....😬

That's correct, and it's not unusual for large organisations/businesses to realign their assets and look to sell and re-lease the land.

Tata Steel did a similar thing around 10 years ago by selling their Steelpark and Dudley sites and re-leasing them back.

Especially when they're in debt up to their eyeballs & their shareprice is at bargain basement levels...

just seen an article that Walsall garage has been purchased by WMCA , is this genuine or fake news reason i say that the article i saw was a screen shot could have doctored as they say
just been on WMCA website there is information regarding purchase by  the Investment board  many pdf files etc etc reagarding minutes of meetings etc

Its not the only asset Mobico Group are looking to offload... 

Simple Simple question who let him back on then ?
Is it to hard to answer ?

We don't have to answer anything to you, especially when you don't abide by forum rules, simple requests & instructions. 

Just because you work for NX, it doesn't mean you do what you like on here then complain about everyone else breaking the rules / being annoying, look in the mirror!

The Pensnett thread will now be locked until such time that you & others stop disrupting the forum (which is now only the long term members still causing problems)

Anyone starting a new Pensnett Garage thread or continuing to comment elsewhere will be banned permanently from the forum.

And who let the one who was banned before back on the forum I rest my case

You know nothing. You just think you do.
 
You & @Jack clearly can't follow simple requests / instructions. 

This forum has always been on one rule for one and one for another. And it's always members who have been on here years getting told off when it's newer members constantly filling up the forum with crap.

That's because the minority of long members don't follow our requests / forum rules & continue to re-ignite the bickering on the forum.

If people don't like the forum or the way its run, feel free to leave. The majority of those complaining don't add anything of value anyway. 

End of Subject. 

Heads up judge judy and judge rinder from the admin department are issuing out warnings to honest law abiding members who don't post crap post lies and argue with tony  just saying me and Alf are hurt

Unfortunately, you're not a law abiding member & you frequently post crap, as you think you're being funny & clever, but you're just not.
