Inside Perry Barr garage?

Like other OmniLinks, either surplus to requirements or in need of repairs, I would imagine.

Indeed. Dead at the top of the yard.

Not sure where to put this, so here seems the most appropriate. Down at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour this past Sunday and managed to get all 4 electrics (E030-E033) in one go!

New Flickr album created for this batch of electrics:

Finally getting around to uploading some photos from Cambridge; one of my favourite photos from my trip was of XLB 13909, having departed Histon & Impington

4819 as it hasn't tracked in ages.

As it has been dead in garage

Does that mean it's only opening between Walsall and Birmingham or not?
When it says current vehicles I thought it's having new hydrogens? Or are 67/68XX (current vehicles) going to be used?

I believe Tony mentioned in the Hydrogen Vehicles thread that they're expecting to return from next week

Earlier this afternoon, noticed a Gemini displaying 95E Kingshurst. Got me thinking I can't remember the last time I saw just Kingshurst displayed on the front. Maybe back in 26 Saverbus days.
Or did the 59 display Kingshurst? I don't recall ever seeing that incarnation of the 59.

Wasn't there also a 56 service which ran Birmingham to Kingshurst?

Not urgent/safety critical by any means;

Looks like 1879 is carrying the front panel off of 1851 as the names don't match up!

4600 repainted into new Arriva standard livery - out today on the 110s

There's been a fire at Metroline's Potters Bar depot today which looks to have claimed some of their fleet. A tweet in the following article claims that the cause was one of their EVs on charge.

1891 has appeared at South and City College as the new operational workshop bus; the replacement for 4194, which left us a few weeks ago
