The vehicles to my understanding are being stored there overnight and being taken into service by non striking and non union drivers from depots. Bordesley green garage is also being utilised for this as well as the coach depot at Aston

Bordesley us being used to store WB buses so there's enough room to get other garages buses in for MoT during the day

I did wonder why there was a 79 branded E400 there and a few 82/87 branded platinums. Thanks for clearing that up

Remember though it only needs another 21% or so of drivers to vote for an offer to get the >50% for acceptance - I don't think a massive increase is required, probably just a token pay increase gesture on the previous offer coupled with some updated driving conditions that the drivers seem to be particularly focused on.

I think you'll find they're far more interested in both the length of the deal and changes to t's and c's than they are about the percentage increase on offer.

The deal is one year, exactly what the reps asked and is a straight rise with no strings

WB 4964 & 4966 on the X21 this morning. More 'peaceful' striking at BC I'm guessing.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

There was about 6 platinum buses on the overflow stand at West Bromwich this morning which was strange as only the 5 is running out of West Bromwich.

It seems some deckers might have been put there so there are no delays to services tlday

It's still a BC route but using a vehicle from another garage that's been parked up at one of the holding locations.
