662 on the 59? I didn't know 662 was at WN. If it was on a peak board then its not unusual to get anything from WN garage on the peak running board

Now 662 would be unusual on the 59, as it's a Coventry B6!

632 maybe?

662/586 are now at Wolverhampton EX-Coventry they was at Walsall Paintshop LAst week

That's confirmation. Thanks

[Trident 4609]

Thanks :) I will have to look out for it in Wolverhampton.

[Trident 4609]

That means my theory of 586/662 transferring to WN were right :)

No doubt the final 2 Excels (687 and 711) are now withdrawn.

Today, I saw 586 Red B6LE at coventry garage in park next to New ADL!

This should probably transfer soon with the last Excels withdrawn by the end of may.

Finally the end of WN's Excels.

I saw the Trident on the 4, but missed the hybrid. I thought I'd seen something really unusual.

I can also second that 662 was on the 59. It looked fresh from a partial repaint and when I saw it, I thought I'd check because of it being blue and being allocated to CV.

[Trident 4609]

Was it on the peak 59/14 running board departing The bus station at 15:18 or the peak board this morning. If so B6's at Peak time is not unusual.

Yeah just to add 632 was on the 62 so wss not the bus seen on the 59

[mranon]

yes i saw it l.ooked twice as its not unusual for a walsall b6 to be in wolves bus station. when it turned round it had 59 on display, and looked quite smart too smart not to have been repainted at the front. could one of these be at wn to replace the b6 596? which was withdrawn within a few weeks of being transferred

All i saw was a quick glimpse of a Spectra and a B5LH near to where i live. I had the day off school with an ear infection although i managed to get a ride on 5412 on the 59.yesterday.

586 and 662 will more than likley replace the last 2 Excels in service (687 and 711)

You get WN B6's in the bus station every day so wouldn't of looked that unusual.

I was under the impression that the last of the Excels would be withdrawn following all the Hybrids entering service & the X1 being withdrawn. I also thought all of the remaining early Tridents would have gone by now i.e. 4135, 4310-4312? Unless plans have changed?

[Trident 4609]

Winston, 4135, 4310-12 are staying at WN it seems.

[nitromatt1]

Walsall B6s are in Wolverhampton bus station on a daily basis on the 69
