Wednesfield Garage

[Trident 4609]

Is 4797 about  as I havn't seen it yet or 2157/60 along with
2311 what service is best to see them

Rode 2157 on the 57 (Bilston-Wolverhampton) yesterday so thats in service and i did see 2160 somewhere in service recently

4796 and 4804 are fitted as back-up for the Tridents.

Do the Darts/Solos that appear on the 10 (Usually peak time) have transponders then?

They must have to be able to get thought the bus gate in Perton.

Is it the same Darts and Solos all the time Nathan, or are they different ones each day?

[Trident 4609]

Seems to be anything spare in the garage. And half the time the Bollards on the bus way seem to be not working anyway

Are you ever going to get any full sized single deckers?

We already have 2208, 2226, 2347, 2412, 2414.

They are all just big Darts, what Bob is getting at is 12M heavy duty single deckers i.e. Volvo B10BLE/B7RLE, Scania Omnilink/Omnicity, VDL SB200's etc

The above three were nearing completion at Hants & Doreset Trim @ the end of July

2167 has been completed & has been dispatched to Wardle's rather than Wednesfield

[Bob]

2167 is only a temp loan to wardles presumably? Whats happening with the ex yorkshire b10bles are most going to wardles?

[mikestone]

4801 on the last 334 this afternoon!
;
I presume all NXWM boards on the 34/38/39 involve the 38 and thus cannot be double decked?

[arrivaaston]

2167 is on loan to Wardle and due to come to Cannock, the b10's (v/dbc) are heading to Wardle as are the Ex yorkshire ones (4650/4652) the next to leave the Wardle fleet

Saw an Optare Solo in Arriva livery today, looked freshly applied, think it was on the 217. Looked very smart!
