i belive with the 83/89 a driver will take over in oldbury, drive the 89 to blackheath, then to bham were it changes to 83 west brom and back the back to 89 and gets relived in oldbury.. i belive this is the case

either way the 89 is driven by 127/8/9 drivers so guessing its on the same rota.

804 sitting dead on Colmore Row waiting to be hooked up to a Mansfield recovery truck at around 16:20

Didn't take long at all, gurantee these won't be going in 15 years time like (some) of the B6's,

I think most buses have teething problems when they first enter the service, the omnilinks had their fair share of issues when they first entered service i.e doors not closing properly so the brakes were permanently applied they even had to be taken off the 404 for the day as their were issues with them in Bradford Place. Hopefully once they have been running in service for a couple of months reliability should increase and issues sorted. Even at the beginning of this week a branded 51 enviro 400 broke down in Walsall and is still a fairly new bus.

I remember that day a rare metro on the 128 good day that was

i actually find it it funny the poor wolvo passengers will have to ride these out, ill think ill happly stick to the mercs on the 89/289 for me

there did uused to be a whole list on wikipedia but got deleted and never replaced, who ever did the page must have took ages to do it.;

Id personally have the 128 back to lion farm so i cant get in to brum in under an hour, rather that than a crammed merc were u get spat at going through cape hill.

its always the oldish driver aint it? or is used to be, seemed to be a double decker aswell

its all confussing at the mintue, i got the 89 in to town yestaday instead of the 128 for the first time, i hated it. Also noticed from newbury lane to oldbury the 289 doesnt follow the same way?

dout it they will go on the 89 now due to it being extened to blackheath

The Citaros could get up to a great speed if allowed. ON the 82 on the dual carriageway we were outracing cars!

Yes, probably about 62mph

Dont think people get this 62mph limit

Hannover road, Powke lane, garrets lane, rowley villidge all in blackheath

Oldbury could do we a refurb to be honest

do any use go to stourbridge any more to the terminal in briley hill or brockmoor anymore?

ive been on 2 i think. one was a metro bus either 128 or 129 going thru lion farm around the bend and a car hit it leading to the back wheel on the bus exploding, and on a 139 when some idiots bricked the bus shamshing widown in the process.

Also been on a bad end when a theif stole the money foult out a 128 a few years back, felt sorry for the driver as they blamed him for going to the toilet i mean if u need to go u need to go

Whats with all the scottish drivers at the monent, 3 have been on the 238 this weekend, from dundee or somethong?

to right be much better going to birmingham on a night out or a late night at work, many other countrys do it, why not us.
