Saw 32132 this morning in Chelmsley Wood, sat at the "to Airport" bus stop, but with a destination of Chelmsley Wood. I had a look on bustimes to see whether it had gone to the Airport, and saw it took an unusual route to get there.

I haven't posted this in a depot-specific thread as I was unsure which one it would go in.

I know there are road closures in and around Birmingham Business park with diversions in effect so this may account for the "unusual" route

I understand the first two of these ex Yellow Buses Volvo B5TL/Wright Gemini 3's were delivered to Tividale yesterday:

What routes are these for @winston @Simon Dunn

It's already been stated the 50

[Steveminor]

Where has it been stated that these deckers are for the 50?

Page 22 of the strike thread, in Simon's reply to me, should clear that up, but you are right IMO.

Simon's reply doesn't say the deckers are going on the 50, it is two seperate statements regarding the 50 & the deckers, as below:

We are looking to deploy more of the vehicles we have within Redditch to operate the 50.  

We have recently acquired 6 x double deckers for the Midlands and depending upon how long the Industrial action continues, then they could potentially pop up on other routes.

Will the new deckers be painted before being sent out

Winston is correct Redditch currently has 5 deckers in fleet which could hypothetically be redeployed, so the new Geminis could pop up on other routes.

Simon also states "for the midlands" so may go to Burton to replace the Presidents?
