Vehicle Transfers

[DavieDD2]

Only Scanias can fit on the Darlaston & Alumwell routes can they, unless a similar size vehicle (s) can be transferred in surely?

Any spare E200s knocking about?

There's 4 in Dundee you're welcome to, they're garbage, please take them!!

Are any garages single or double decker heavy nowadays?

Am I likely to see more single deckers on non Birmingham routes out of Walsall routes?

Those Scanias gone back to Walsall were on temporary transfer to YW due to the bridge works, so everything should go back to normal now.

I thought I read on Facebook that the bridge work was over running?

It is, but tomorrow's service changes mean single decks are no longer needed on the 2 & 3

That one should be withdrawn, it's in poor condition externally & not that great inside either. Plus a number of windows are misted up (I assume between glass & film)

[Tony]

Today's transfers are just starting to happen

2078/2079 just arriving at BC

What do BC need more B7RLE for? I thought the X64 would still use the same number of buses & was  just having a route change to cover the 99

No, the 98/ X64 needs more buses

Hasn't the running time on the 98 been increased to improve reliability? Not sure if this would mean a PVR increase though.

As things stand, looks like the East Birmingham changes might mean a reduction in B7RLE requirements for BC with the changes to the 58 and 59 so I wonder whether some of these allocations will be quite short term.

Based on Tony's reply it seems so, as frequencies are unchanged.

I do wonder whether there are still more registrations to be published for the East Brum changes.

AG currently seem as though they will have a fair few surplus E200MMC's which are meant to be taking over operation of the curtailed 58 from BC

Sorry, Tony's reply wasn't there when I sent mine because I was interrupted between starting it and hitting the 'post button'!
