4335 delivered back to Yardley Wood, nice and clean

4809/4261/4634/4339/4959/4488/4622/4616/4820 and 2
more ALX Volvos noted on the Stafford Shuttles

4364/4335/4363/4343 noted on the Wolves Shuttles

4362 was too

2102 is on there today

Was that in the main building, where the loos were?

There was a chaplain guy in there at one point, talking to some guy in a wheelchair.

Was that information on a noticeboard by the way, opposite the display that explained the history of the garage?

Surely that information should have been moved for the day, especially as that building housed the only toilets available?

Anyone could've had that information as they went through to the loo!

I was probably not the only one who had a look at that board, as I went to the loo, the only difference was I never took a note of the information.

I couldn't even tell you what was on that board!

By the way, talking about restricted areas, I presume as long as we stayed the one side of the fence near the one gate, we were ok taking pictures of the withdrawn buses, as there was no one there official stopping us, in other words you stayed by the cars.

I've got loads of photos of the scrap buses, inside and out.

Will the other bus operating the shuttle be a Streetdeck or something more of a novelty.

Could someone please clarify where exactly the Dudley shuttle will depart from ? I ask because I'm not knowledgeable on that side of the county.

Both shuttle buses will be Wolverhampton based buses. 

5418 at Pensnett ready

There's a green and white bus coming too, with 2 vehicles operating the shuttle that people wouldn't be expecting.

I will @karl724223

Wonder who did that... hmmm @pndriver any ideas?

Quick thinking on my part to keep the service running, streetdecks by far the best deckers we have. The reaction from passengers, pedestrians and car drivers was amazing. Only having the 5 means that many people haven't seen them. A few passengers commented how beautiful the bus was. There were pedestrians turning around and looking at it when they heard it's whistle, I had a guy driving a land-rover in Blackheath watch me stop at the roundabout and he carried on looking at the bus instead of watching the road.

Overall the passengers love them.

Someone has stolen 3302 off X10

Its about to depart on 289

When will the new PN route start.. or should I say the variation of the old one?

Who said it's a bus route?

I wonder what the levante is doing at Pensnett?

Cup cake stall at Pensnett open day next week

One of the cleaners is bringing his pork sandwich van according to talk across the garage

OO4 going according to a driver at the meeting. Drivers can work to Hansons contracts under TUPE laws then will be transferred onto diamond contracts

I have it from senior management

I'm not going to argue with you, the drivers have said they've handed their notice in. Whether management say so or not is another case.
