6835 had my favorite west midlands livery with the black skirt and window frames  :)

I remember seeing 6833 at Stevensons years ago,it had a engine fire en route to Burton,so was stripped for spares like 6831.What happened to 6834 ? I heard it was used as a tracline demonstration bus up north at tees or united.Any one know exactly what happened to it ?

If I remember correctly, that was the one that the body was stripped off, and the chassis sat in Selly Oak for some time

Must admit I don't remember a Titan at Walsall.

Did it have a regular route?

It was only there a couple of years before they all got moved to one garage not sure which.  It used to go on the 51 a bit

They were all moved to PB.

Excellent video of 6835 - some great sound effects. I must admit I don't recall 6835 having the narrow cream band and black window surrounds but I'm sure the guys at Wythall have done their research. 2001 onwards had the wider cream band and blue window surrounds (but black skirts) - also 7006 and IIRC - strange what 35 yrs odd does to the memory!!
