E115 back at CV 
E038 in paint

Ex Whippet E200 seen in Chaserider's garage this morning in blue/yellow livery - new purchase perhaps?

Could be but also Fridays are MOT day there too so could be there for MOT as well

I've noticed that this week there seems to be fewer out

Massive backlog of buses to be repaired atm that's why

There is now a 66 plate ex uno bus and a white solo SR parked on the yard 

Another old 57 plate Cardiff Scania on pye greens. Still got Bws Caerydd decals on it

Wait there's 3?

You say that but the 2nd scania they brought has just gone over there on the 36 lol

Well 747 is euro 6 so could potentially be used on Walsall stuff.

You say that but 192 has just gone over there on the 36 lol

60 was one bus short for some period of the day as one evora was whipped off it and put on pye green leaving the 60 1 bus down.  also the 63 regular knacked solo failed in Rugeley again,,, causing chaos with the traffic lol . surely they dont need any more poxy solos the ones they have seem to be problomatic on reliablilty - one old solo was towed in also from Uttoxeter last night too as seen it hooked up to a tow truck,  625 seems to of dissapeared aswell unless its finally in the body shop as it looks so unkept externally . Lot of them ex arriva volvo's seem to be constantly failing leaving 2 hour gaps on 826 828 routes too on a regular basis. Hear a rumor the 826 is being dumped soon too guess folk are fed up of being left stranded when the service is failing to operate on regular basis with end of life buses not up to the job.

625 is fine now. It had a load of money spent on it doing the panels etc after it had its MOT done

I believe it needs a lot of work doing to it, both bus 1 and bus 2 have had a few issues recently, if I remember correctly one of them kept going into limp mode, and losing all of its power. They are one of the oldest enviro 200 MMCs though.

1 was going into limp mode and losing power. It's back out but is still losing power. No idea what is up with 2 tho

632 now needing a new window as kids threw something at the bus in Aldridge smashing the window

Do you mean 198

Apparently there's a bus 19i now 😂. Yeah I did mean 198 😂

19i should be back out next week all being well. Went out on a test drive this morning 

625 and 670 already failed on 826/828 thos morning. 187 got whizzed to Rugeley to replace 625

625's doors were "playing up" turned out they were fine

625 a long term thing then despite its age?

Yes it is

There is now a white Metro city sitting in the delta way yard. Unknown why its there or if it is for Chaserider or D&G
