Quote from: spacecowboy150 on September 18, 2023, 05:39:07 PMAccording to bustimes WN has gained 4753 in exchange for 5403 and 5407 from Pensnett. Is this true?

What it actually says on BusTimes:
"Garage" information is worked out automatically, using the Garage field in the operator's timetable data and the last trip a vehicle worked.

Therefore it should not be automatically 'assumed' that a vehicle has transferred, because vehicles on loan will show the garage that runs the route the bus was last used on.
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

PB loosing a few E40Ds, I don't think YW have any of those? Not sure as of recently anyway.

YW will probably get 46xx tridents ousted by E40Ds going to BC

4843/46 also in service at BC possible transfers I will await confirmation though

I'm surprised BC need more E40Ds, having received 4881-4894 from CV. Maybe the transfers are to do with October service changes and routes changing garage - or possibly to cover for ex CV vehicles going for paint (I wondered whether the two ex hybrids from WN to PN were to cover for two of theirs ex CV in for paint also).

I guess with the tridents seemingly on their way out, they would need something to replace those

Yes ready for the 96 when it comes back... don't forget your umbrellas!

Owen

With 4881-4894 I would have thought a few more tridents would have been cast out (meaning the 46** , not the 97 brands)

cris 99

The 97 brandeds haven't moved ?

As I said. Not the 97 brands. The 46** have been heading out far and few for months. Which are expected to go since there's only 4 left at bc
