Bordesley Garage

[Solo1]

BC only have a couple of B7RLEs.

they have 2137 & the 2 Coventry ones with 2 loaned to bordesley  for school boards

So that was One of the buses meant to come to Acocks Green.Any Replacements then?My guess is to be one of the Crimson Price brandeds at BY.1876 Or 1877.

1876 and 1877 are currently operating out of Perry Barr. I would guess they will remain there with the 28 batch, when PB gain more Omnilinks for the 8A/8C.

they have 2137

2137 normally seems to be on the Staff Bus as well at present, when I see it. I wander if that one will also end up at WN at some point?

Just following on from this 55 moving to DD , does this mean that the expectation is the council will have sorted the low hanging trees out by next month ??

I don't think there's any that's why there going to use DD.Im still concerned in how DD's are going to go on Shared ends tight roads.

Deckers are shorter than OmniLinks so easier to get down tight roads

So you don't believe me about the trees? There was plenty, but hopefully will all be lopped by next week

Plus deckers used to go round there all the time.

Trees do grow quite a bit in the number of years since LH operated the 55

It was more to do with the "tight" roads mentioned above.

I think you said Kendrick Avenue was the main problem?
BC ran deckers down there on the 56 until 3 years ago/2017. So not as long as since LH closed, on that road.

No registered changes on the VOSA site as of today.

17 and 8A/8C seems to have a new timetable from next week.

55 isn't showing a new timetable. So could possibly not be changing.

The 17 and 8A/C just have a couple of minor tweaks really. All I can see on the 17 timetable that is different is the earlier reduction to 20 minute frequency late Sunday afternoons.

The 8A/C has some earlier starts from Newtown, presumably to reflect the service running from Perry Barr garage. Also presumably any untimetabled 'shorts' to Saltley will change to Newtown also.  ;)
