I know there is a dedicated section for NXWM but what about it having different titles for the relevent Garages.  Some have put topics on PN and WB but what about a different section for each depots happenings.  Just a suggestion that is all.

There's already threads for most garages, though they haven't been posted in for a while, so they've drifted down the pages.

No point - it's easier to have it all in one place...

Why do people here keep referring to Pensnett as 'PN' when its garage code is 'PE'?
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Buy a ticket of a PN bus and see if it says PE?

When I was a PL (I know thats right I was a driver there) Pennsnett refered to as PN on company notices. Thought this was for opinion not a communist state.

NXWM Spectra

What also gets me annoyed when sometimes the Enviro200, sometimes the Enviro400, get called an 'enviro', often uncapitalised.
Also both the B7RLE and the B7TL get called a 'B7'.

Causes lots of confusion.

Same with the B10L and the B10B, both were often called the B10

History is a great thing to remember, but we really should be using current garage codes.

I agree, or split the Birmingham stuff from the riff raff(Black Country).

Prime example.

"4009 seen on the 1."

Me: "since when did AG have Spectras"

I have driven buses out of or into (NX owned)
AG, BC, BY, CV, HE, HY, LH, LS, MS, NN, PB, QN, SO, WH, YW, OY, DY, HH, SE, CR, WB, SH, MR, PE, PL, WA, WT; BC; QB; TF; WL

I bet not many of the younger members can put the garage names to all those!
