Is it on the 87? I'm catching the bus today, so I might get lucky. Does that mean YW's MMCs are out?

recent transfers completed seem to be
4258-63/300 PB-WA
4516/23-5 PB-AG
4745/47 YW-WB

Neither WB are in service, both in garage.
Yardley Wood haven't got any MMCs in service at the moment.
Several more Mercs have come off the road, trying to identify which ones at the moment
1454 is on the 34/38 today
1459 is on the 39 today
I would be surprised if either runs again after today

I should consider myself lucky then that I caught 1459 this morning

No, remember 864-870. Only a couple of Mercs have been withdrawn since they entered service so they won't be short.

They also lost 4135 and a loan Trident (4310?) back to Wolverhampton - how many Mercs withdrawn also? There've been reports of at least two 151x s? Sounds to me like some changes have happened to lower the vehicle requirement a little.

I think PE have had 29 New buses and lost 29 so far

20 E400
2 Tridents
7 Mercs.

There's still a couple of moves to happen yet

Since the new Alexander Dennis Enviro 400MMC's6101-6122 have began to come into service. A lot of the BU09 plate Dennis Trident 2's have moved to Perry Barr, I have seen 4803,4807,4813,4822/23 and 4825 on route 16 mainly but also on other PB routes like 46 & 7 there maybe more transferred as all the PE allocation of Alexander Dennis Enviro 400MMC have now been delivered.

4355 was never replaced also!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

It was. Pensnett currently has 1 bus more than it should which is an E400 awaiting repairs before moving to PB

@Tony, what are the 4 Geminis to AG for?

My guess is to replace Presidents that have been put into reserve?

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Trident 4609

Are any more Tridents due at WN from WA to join 4134,4138 and 4140?

@Tony, 4516 was on the 94 today, so is it a transfer still to happen?

Sorry, yes, it is 4515 that has gone, not 4516

Have they already lost 4 Presidents?

What ones?

Apologise if this has been mentioned elsewhere.
