Vehicle Transfers

[Tony]

September fleet movements now on the front page of the main site

WB has had a net increase of 3 in the allocation and Walsall 1, so that looks like 4 of the extra buses needed for the Sandwell changes

[Ash]

Not suprised that 584 has gone to Walsall from Coventry and not been withdrawn as its one of the best b6le's i have been on due to it being refurbished and also seems quite powerful for a b6le.

[PM]

To be fair, 584 would seem a good preservation candidate as it has had an intersting life starting out in London and seems in good nick.

[John]

It must have been at almost every B6LE garage now.

I think it has been to every one,
Coventry
West Brom
Pensnett
I think it has been to Birmingham Central (very short stay)
Acocks Green

and now Walsall.

I agree Ash I rode on 584 on the 30 from Solihull when it was at Acocks Green :)

[Ashley]

I've got a sound recording on my phone of 584 on the 222. I also agree it's one of the better ones as well as more intersting given its history

[Tony]

1463 is now at Walsall, looks like they are going to tidy it up externally before using it

2153 now back at WN, seen on route 2 this afternoon.

Is it 2153 and an 0405N transferring to WN for the X1?

Do NXWM have this bus permanently now?

It sticks out because its still painted in white, I hope it gets repainted properly soon.

[JackC]

What's happening with 584? Is it on loan to WB for a while or have Walsall lost it already?

[Ash]

I believe WB are to recieve a few b6le's off Walsall and 584 is one of them.

[BN]

Yes i think it is 2153 and 1668 that have transfered to WN for the X1. I also saw 2153 back at WN on route 2 in the bus station. I agree that it should be repainted

2153 is here to cover for warranty work on the 2060-2070 batch

No 2153 is owned by Volvo UK all we do is maintain it.

And 566.

If those 3 have now moved to WB, I would have thought that it's safe to assume that WA have received so/all of the Tridents from YW & YW have received further Presidents from BC/WB

4330 at WA now, seen on 89 today.

[Trident 4609]

4332 also at walsall now. i saw it in wolverhampton bus station on the 40 this evening about 5 o'clock
