As seen in Tony's photos 1668 has a blank destination display on the 402 although has WB blinds fitted and 1667 has had its upper destination blind taken out whilst on the 401. Is this just co-incidence or may be transferring or awaiting some new blinds which i guess the mercs dont need for the sandwell review, does anyone know if the b6le's are to recieve new destination blinds for the new services?

Saw 1668 on the 410 today and it is still displaying a blank top blind!

if you look at tonys picture of 1668 it does have full blinds. it might have been stuck as they sometime do.
an empty bus is a happy driver.

It is all uppercase so must be an old blind so will be in a strange order and may not have all places on it. I hope it wasn't on the 410!

but even if it was an old blind it should still have wednesbury and west bromwich somewhere on it

Sorry can't get used to these new routes, should have been 40!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I've seen a fleetlist on the internet for NXWm and it says 4188 is at Coventry and 7125 is at Acocks Green?

I believe that 7123/5/6 and 7115 were all due to go to Acocks Green along with 7127/8/9. They were allocated there but never used and went into reserve. Dont know about 4188 at Coventry.

7115 & 7123 at least did make it to AG & a start was made on preparing them for service i.e. having LED's fitted, but they never entered service & were promptly returned to reserve.

Tony managed to get a photo of 7115 in AG

It is most likely an error on the fleetlist.

It is highly unlikely 4188 would transfer to Coventry especially as it is in NXWM colours.
