Sadly I think you may be right, assuming it is the first of a few, I guess it could soon be bye bye B10s at YW :(

Luckily I still get them over here on the 69 but I also imagine time is running out for the B10's at YW and WA :(

1430 being the main one ;) All I can say is, I will really miss them when they are gone.

Same here Joe I miss them being on the 71 & 72.

I'll miss the B10s when they are gone. 😔 I still travel on the B10 on 27 (as well as on WA39 and WA69). I'm surprised the B10s are determined to continue working in 2014 - I didn't think they would see 2014. I'll have to make the most of it before they are gone for good.

Truth be told Rob, I haven't even bothered with the NXWM 71 or 72 since they left :(

I still give the 27 a bash sometimes, it helps my route shares a terminus so I can just hop off one and onto another whenever the mood takes me. They have done very well for their age really as have the B6s that everyone loves to hate!

I would hate to live on the 71/2 routes or WA 4/H/M,301 or 311/3 as. Can't stand the Omnilinks!

Think a lot of people think that way, remember the depot visit when people got on the B7RLE instead of an Omnilump.  :)
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Good thing it was an older B7RLE or they would have probably just walked instead ;D

Yes indeed. Luckily I get Spectra's and Tridents on the 59 (Prefer the Spectra) and B7's on the 89 (B6's on 28 and B10's on the 69 pass near my house too) so no Omnilinks (I avoid them if they do 89's)

Anyway back on topic;) Are there anymore YW E400's being Rpinted /refurbed

Had ride on 4718 on 50 and it still seems one of the best,no rattles or odd noises. YW appear to be looking after it. 4729 in Kings Heath on 35. How long has this been in the latest livery?

In a recently filmed video on Youtube, it was making a dodgy whistling/screeching noise each time it pulled off. Has this been fixed?

its always done that since new, that's whby I love it so much :)

Just read a comment on my Flickr page that Central Trident 4622 is on the 18 today (I would say only a loan) - see bottom comment

It's a loan. 4616 [or 4618, can't remember] was on the 2 last week as well. Back at BC the day after. I dare say YW are short of buses. I recall some 44xx of BC's going there for a bit.

Seeing a Trident with a tv screen and a tree deflector on a YW route would just look weird ::)

Lol! It's like when some 44xx's went there... really odd seeing it on the 49! ZF 'box, round dash, rubber wheel arches, no small offside passenger window... it's just wrong!
