Vehicle Transfers

[D10]

If WB could do with more presidents why didn't some EX-AG Gemini stay at acocks green instead of transferring so many to WB.

The Geminis were needed at WB to ensure that WB could turn out appropriate vehicles onto routes into Birmingham City Centre. Presidents weren't acceptable for the new Euro 3+ regulations there.

Thats why they now operate the 11A/C as it doesn't touch the city centre

So with 4315, 58 and 59 I would expect YW to loose 3 buses....

..... will it be Presidents or B10s?

4313 now as well transferred to Yardley Wood.

No doubt 4314 to follow shortly now most if not all the new E400s are in service. I wonder whether BC will only lose a total of 18 buses for the time being while 4218 is out of action.

[Trident 4609]

Will 4218 return to BC then or go to another garage?

No idea but BC is already reportedly short of buses so I'm just speculating whether 19 E400s in might not mean 19 Tridents out while 4218 is off the road. Given current management's liking for keeping blocks of fleet numbers together I wonder whether it might go to Coventry once repaired and repainted.

[Ashley 4569]

I hope my 4314 does go to YW, be easier to find, do miss that one

If 4218 return to Coventry garage and should be 4319 transferred to YW.

[Liverpool Street]

Can I just clear this up.

Since BC's acquisition of 19 Enviro400's, the loss is as follows:

4193
4194
4195
4196
4197
4198
4199
4200
4201
4202

4313
4315

4358
4359

4390
4393

16 in total. 3 more to go, and looking at the fleetlist if they're trying to keep groups together BC will still be left with one or two 'stray' vehicles. Has PE got its full allocation of Tridents now? If so, then it'll most likely be 4314, 4316 & 17 to YW. Hopefully something can be done with CV's 4319 & 4322. Anyone have any further ideas to tidy up this section?

I forgot 4218. If that goes to CV, that'll free up 4322 to BC, but BC will still be left with 4318 stray?

Liverpool Street, Yes PN have got there full allocation of tridents but 4197 and 4202 have still yet to enter service after repaint
