Title: Save 1401.
Post by: andyr on May 06, 2012, 12:14:20 AM
Would it be possible for 1401 to be reinstated to WA?. Lots of surples b10s from AG  are being sent to WA so it would it would be a good last few months for her to return back to her home garage. Perhapes 1470 could also see out her days at WA. I spent many happy hours driving them both on the 301s.

Why?! They've gotten rid of it because it's 16 years old. It's good that it's gone. Why would they want to reinstate it! Another ridiculous suggestion.

Such a shame these brilliant buses are off :( I have a good memory of 1401 on the X51 before moving to PB, absolutely flooring it down Walsall Road!

I've got to agree, I do like the B10L's

Shouldn't getting rid of the B6's be a higher priority than B10's?

The B10's cost more to repair, run, and maintain plus there are less of them so easier to get rid of i guess

Its a shame to see good buses like the B10s go, especially when their fate is the Scrapyard. I hope someone saves 1401 1436 and 1457 from that horrible place!

Can we add 1441 to that list as well. Have some good memories of it on the 40A and 40C, plus the S2 and S3. I got the Wright story book for my birthday and it has a picture of 1441 brand new. Looks great and hopefully it will get sold to some independent who doesn't rid of good buses!

It would of been nice if 1430 went to Walsall as it is the only B10L being based at Walsall before but has been diverted to Perrt Barr.  As all the ones there now have never been based at Walsall.

I would like to see 1404/1473 based at Walsall Again
