Was pretty full heading into Dudley about 2PM this afternoon with a Trident right behind I imagine hurried along to try and relieve 1660 of some of the passengers, this system though would begin to leave service gaps of up to 20 minutes and this can be a big problem come 5PM in Dudley especially, with people trying to get back to Wolverhampton

299 on the 59. Thats a first since it has been the 59. What time was that then. I've seen a picture of a solo on the 59 on flickr from 1999/early 2000's

With the new buses at Wolverhampton due shortly, will they repair 4001?

Depends on how much it would cost to repair it to get it back in service. Of the double-decks in the fleet, the Spectras must be at the most risk of being withdrawn, so why waste thousands of pounds repairing a bus that could be withdrawn in a couple of months?

How was it damaged?

Didn't the back axel snap?

Nothing we don't already know but, 4350 at YW on the 76.

This should have replaced a President which has gone to AG to replace 4635 which is now at WB, I have not worked out which President has moved yet!

Did anything replace 4350 at BC or was there surplus to allow one DD to move on?
