Vehicle Transfers

[winston]

Well 824 has been reported as debranded from the 222 so maybe this will be the E200 that works its way around the PE routes.

Wonder if it's had its talking Bus equipment removed?

I highly doubt it as it will still see service on the 222, and what other bus would they fit it in? Surely it is only designed and all set up for the Enviro 200

Hadn't thought of that, plus aren't the X96, 246 and 297 supposed to become talking bus routes to.

Will be interesting to see how they manage it with the 246 as such a selection of buses are allocated to it, wonder if it will just be allocated Mercs with 246 Branding?

Stu,

Yes the main core NX routes in to Merry Hill were all meant to be having it, along with Diamond's 002, 226? & possibly Hanson's on the 226?

Still no start date for the Merry Hill bus station extension / refurbishment or any of the proposed bus priorities

Next batch of transfers are due this weekend

Will this be the Omnilinks from CV-WA?

The first 3 are in Walsall Paintshop having red fronts put on, but no-one has confirmed they are going to Walsall!
Pensnett, Walsall, West Bromwich & Perry Barr should all see fleet changes

Take it PE are losing 823 to WB

Gone

4733-4737 should be transferring PB-WA today (hence my mention of those two garages with PE & WB). When I popped in on my way home tonight 4733; 4734 & 4735 had arrived at Walsall

So we will indeed be seeing toothpaste Enviros at Walsall. Interesting stuff  ;D

Yes, but the state of some of them are a bit worse for wear, so wouldn't be surprised if some were sent for repaint in the next few weeks.

I reckon they will be seen on the 935/6 as well, and you never know, maybe even the 51 and X51

I would think so. I am hopefully going that way tomorrow so will find out

Maybe theyll go through the paintshop first even though just having them will be different

Doubt it - pretty sure they'll want them out in service for the new routes asap.

You may have 1 go straight for repaint. I also forgot about 4737 already in NX livery
