Four have left for scrap this week, 401 and three long ones, I haven't got the numbers to hand

with the b6's being transferred to wn garage, is the trip north the fate for all the optares?

[Ash]

This is a long shot but are the extra b6le's to Walsall a sign that the 45 could be transferred back to Walsall Garage or have been sent to Walsall to replace b6le's in a worse condition such as 650 which hasn't been refurbished.

[Trident 4609]

Well WB driver on here has mentioned that there are strong rumors that the 45  is transferring back to WA so you could be right

401 was one of my favourites too!

Both 418 and 422 look on the photo put up today, so I suppose its the right thing.

When will the B6LE enter service at WN. Will it be in the next few weeks?

Well as far as I know there are still only 3 at present, none even have a ticket machine installed and other than 640 being used for type training the others are turning into very pretty icycles at the moment!!!

Why were the ticket machines removed?
Sounds a little odd, considering they knew they would be transferring.

Each depot has an allocation of machines. So the equipment belongs to the depot not the vehicle

[mranon]

unless each garage has specific ticket machines? that may be the case

[4006]

Obviously 'Spares' have to be installed or a machine has to be installed from a working vehicle in a quick turn around perhaps?

[Tony]

yes each garage does have specific ticket machines, not enough memory to programme every route into every machine

Don't quote me but rumor has it it'll be coincided with timetable changes to 62\62A on Febuary 17th, which makes sense as PN are due to run E200s on the 222 soon and some of their B6s are heading our way. It then gives enough time to Type Train drivers on them.
