Apparently the 27 terminus is changing in Harborne? Is this true? If so, where?

[mesub]

It could terminate at Harbone Junction and then use the roundabout at serpentine road to do a loop back the way it came.

2 and 3 seemed to be majority single-deck today - if we have to have singles can we at least have the E200s rather than OmniLinks please?  :(

I left work a bit earlier than normal this afternoon, just before 4pm, and couldn't get on the 3 as it was rammed full and the driver couldn't stop.  :'(

What difference would it make?
Would it actually make any difference to the average passenger, if it was an E200 instead of an Ominilink? Do the E200 have any extra capacity, compared to an Omnilink?

The E200MMCs cannot make a couple of the turns easily on the 2 and 3 so have been put on the 27 until I  can arrange for them to leave YW

Pensnett potentially if the 15 moves to it?

Saw 4566 being towed through Kings Heath, presumably back to YW.

2241 and 2246 - YW 76.
Seems to have been quite a few of these on the 76 over the last few days.

The 2 and 3 seem have gone back to mostly double-decks again (which I'm not going to complain about!) so the singles are having to be used elsewhere, presumably Tony's plan isn't quite working out to schedule:

Wonder if the plan is to swap them for Omnilinks from elsewhere?

WB?

First day in service at YW for 4306 today.
Should be out on the 18 until 17:55

[Busboy105]

Does anyone know where the remaining YW MMCs are going to go? Are they gonna stay at YW and rub on another route or are all of them going to WB or another garage? (Back to AG to make the 4/A fully MMC operated perhaps?)

YW have just 11 Scanias, is that enough for the 27, I doubt it. I think its been said elsewhere the MMCs are staying.

YW3225 heritage bus will be at Pensnett on Saturday morning for a bus naming ceremony.

[darthdc]

Went to WB yesterday, and half the buses I saw at the bus station were ex YW/AG stock. Not exactly the best place to get photos though, due to the lack of vantage points. Had more luck on the other side of town,

4306 has been withdrawn at YW with a failed gearbox
