Really hope that doesn't happen! Don't want the new E400s. Keep the 09's at Pensnett!

The Sutton Lines are due new buses this year, so I imagine they will be Enviros
NO you are joking, poor BC

To be fair, even as someone who relies on BC's routes, I would like PB to have new buses for sutton lines, clearing out older enviros to BC and the old alx400s to west brom allowing for refurb so they can go on something like the 48 and replace mercs

Could ship some new ones to Pensnett for the 9 and 141 to send the 09 plates to Yardley Wood to cascade tridents to the b10 routes that they and Perry Barr have?

Tridents to replace b10s on the 27 and 28, somehow spot a flaw in that option

That very low bridge on the 27. The 28 can manage deckers but doesn't need them

Just found this pic of 4882 at the ADL factory at Scarborough.

Is there any word to where these 5 are going.

My guess is Walsall for the takeover of the 934??

Did Walsall withdraw anything after receiving 4305-4309 from Wolverhampton?

A possible hint about the 934/936?

I think some B6LE's and B10L were withdrawn.

They could replace B10s by cascading deckers on to Scania routes (cough)6(cough) then put the Scanias on the routes like 27 and 28 thus ridding depots of the Volvos.

Are you trying to create an open top fleet? Definately cannot have deckers on the 28!

Yes you can!!

Definitely the highest priorities I'd say are garages like BC and WB. AG I think have a pretty decent fleet that doesn't need any tampering with for the time being. Other than those couple of Enviro200s WB have had no investment in years so I think a few E400s wouldn't go amiss there. Same with BC, their double-deck fleet is in desperate need of an upgrade. I think everyone would like to see their garage receive the new buses its only natural :P but I think Wolverhampton and Coventry won't be touched again for a while now they've had a new bunch of buses. PN do need deckers but if these new Enviro's enter service elsewhere other deckers can just be cascaded to PN. I think they've had their fair share of new buses in the past few years to be honest :P

Under a 13ft bridge?

Tony, that link doesn't work? Was there some kind of accident on the 28 before? And I always wondered why the 28 never saw deckers. Can you tell me where the low bridge is please as I'm only really familiar with the route between Heartlands Hospital and Pype Hayes.
