is the single decker that was at PB coming back 1481 i think it was

Nothing's coming back from Dundee, they are going to Dundee either due to increased work/pvr or to replace older non refurbished buses

1545 and 1549 are two more Mercs to go from Wolverhampton to Pensnett. Both on the 246 today.

Great more heaps of scrap for PE!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I guess 1546 may well now end up at Pensnett as well then

Think that NXWM should engage in a tidying up exercise for the Mercs, especially the ones that are to last long term.

Surely a coat of paint, blind boxes cleaned and blinds positioned correctly (1621 has had an off centre bottom blind for ages and at night, is difficult to read because of the visible light), seats given deep clean.

It seems a lot of the deckers are getting attention, but Mercs seem to have been largely forgotten.

So much for the better bus agreement :/ or is this some cunning plan to move the old buses to pensnett so they get replaced first, if that's the case move all the old ones there :)

Makes sense that 1628/1632 have moved from WB to PE though as PE now have 1627-1633 so it's grouping fleet numbers together at certain garages.

I would have thought they'll all be gone within 18 months to 2 years, if NXWM have 130 new buses per annum - I would guess starting very shortly with new deliveries planned.

A deep clean would do. I've brought it up before but 1643 has held on to the same graffiti for nearly 2 years, how they missed it while the bus was in refurb is beyond me. Also how is it that coventrys mercs still look not far off paintshop fresh and the ones in the black country look horrible in some cases
