Vehicle Transfers

[Sh4318]

B6LEs aren't that bad, they suit some park lane routes perfectly, I.e. 62/A
I imagine this being the end of solos at WN

Hopefully they stay off my local route which is Merc-operated atm.
Though I read elsewhere on the forum that WN are losing 3 of their Mercs as part of this transfer, so my route may see the odd rare one on it.
Then there's that once a month journey I make on the 11 which can see an Excel and the odd Solo on it, so I may encounter a B6 on there too.  :-\

B6s arent my favourite, but they are way way better than Excels! Ive never minded Solo's tbh, much more pleasant to ride on and nicer sounding than MPD Darts

Will blinds be created for the b6le's as no vehicles Wolverhampton operate have just one blind at the front as the excels/mercs all have two front blinds one for the final destination and one for the via points. Or will they install electronic blinds just for the front like some of the mercs have had at PE.

Depends if Wolverhampton kept some of the ones out of the B10Ls they had

Would the ones from the smaller Excels fit?
They were withdrawn just before the review though, so won't have some places on there.

i know theres cost implications here, but isnt it about time nxwm bit the bullet and fitted digi blinds to all buses? if a lot of other companies can do it nxwm can. when vehicle withdrawn they could be removed and re-used surely

If they do fit, they should have the destinations for the routes I expect to see them on (26, 28, 62/62a, 11, 32/33) seeing as those Excels have been on those routes or routes that served those destinations in the past.
Plus IIRC there were still a number of shorter Excels still in service after the review?

The blinds in the short Excels are narrower than B6 or B10 blinds

Ok, thanks Tony, its old B10L blinds or the slim chance of some new blinds for them.
There's not a lot to find, think it's 9 transferring for now.

[Ashley]

The mini Excels have done the rounds in the storage yards, surely there are some single line destination displays knocking around, the only destination I could think that would need adding to them is Willenhall, think all other place names would be there,
