6112? that is showing as still at Dennis at Guildford at the moment

Was back and in service on Wednesday

@karl724223 just for you

Reporting from the scene..................

It was actually 6119 yesterday and 6118 today.

They were both put on the same evening peak running board, so it looks to be a likely choice if one is spare

The PM 714/205, PM 141, PM 120 should more often than not be E400 MMC

Some nice little piece of shit had just tried setting fire to a e200 on the 222  decker off the 141 put on 222 as the 141 have 30min parked up at merry hill

It wasn't as bad as it sounds, quick thinking to pul the decker off the 141  ;)

Names for 6116-22 are

6116 Neve
6117 Rachael Jane
6118 Rebeeca-Abbie
6119 Sarah Lou
6120 Tina
6121 Victoria Joyce
6122 Zuzanna

6118 is mine!

Just another example of Volvo/wrights being a far superior vehicle to ADL

Some weird sounds coming from 6103. Every time driver takes his foot off the gas a loud "poof-poof" noise comes from the back, bit like a steam engine actually.

They have an exhaust gas regeneration system which comes on at intervals throughout the day to meet the euro 6 standard and it is possibly this.

865 & 866 could do with a wash already

865 was delivered at 05:30 and on the road for 7:00

I have always said that Halesowen gets the newest buses from all operators that use the station.
e400
e400 mmc's
e200
b7
Scania
Trident
Mercs soon to be banished!

Didn't want to start a new thread for this so just thought I would put it in here, A bendy bus was seen performing some sort of trial today on the Hagley road. I don't know what type it was. Only third hand info.

243/244 fully e200 (823, 824, 845)

And I remeber you saying the allocator didn't care!

What's 4589 on today?

Was on the 241 at 8.15am

In Garage

brokedown

So let me get this right... 4589 broken down, and 845 in rta great!!

Exactly ny thoughts. Pensnett looks after the buses so well... ::)

So a car running in the back of 845 is Pensnett's fault for not looking after its buses?

May I ask why pensnett are short of buses again? Also why didn't they borrow from Bc or Yw as they both operate the voith tridents

Who cares what gear box is fitted to it? WN have voith tridents too maybe they didn't send one because it's the same bus and the gearbox has no bearing in the grand scheme of things. You have garge A in Kingswinford garage B in wolves around ten miles apart why borrow one from a depot further away.

825 branded 222 E200 on 246

Any timings for the merc on 140,141,241 please?

No.... Sorry

809 had an ABS warning light in city which was reset by an engineer. Ran special to Halesown only for the fault to reoccurr. So ran special to BC - nice driving round with an empty bus!!

Terrible buses, should have gone for the streetlight
