1447 appears to have had its rear blinds removed.

Thanks for answering my question

Stuharris 6360

Has 1419 got YW blinds or is it only a loan until 1408 gets back?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

According to a friend of mine, 1419 wasn't even on the 27 today, however I haven't looked so can't confirm as 100% true. If 1408 is at Trailways I would doubt it will come back, unless it is just there for something minor that is, seems a bit of a mystery tbh.

1419 did have the YW blinds I think; it was showing Maypole. I reckon it will stay considering the wheel trims have been repainted, suggesting WA have sent it on its away in good condition.

I hope it does stay, I'd love to catch it on a YW route again, purely for nostalgic reasons, just a shame it wont be allowed on any city centre routes anymore! My personal guess is 1408 may be become a trainer, it makes sense with it being worked on at PB then suddenly its at Trailways just a few weeks later.

1408 is now back at Yardley Wood

That is interesting as 1419 has had YW blinds fitted now, random guess but is there going to be a PVR increase on the 27 with the forthcoming review? Other than that all I can think of as possibilities are maybe either 1406 is going or more likely 1447 is going as its had its rear blinds completely removed.

I haven't seen any further changes listed on the VOSA website since the last lot were posted, so there probably won't be any changes to the 27.

What's tweaked my curiosity though, is the seeming increase in recent weeks of doubles being used on the 6 (even on Sundays) alongside the Omnilinks.
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

Ahh I've not had a proper look at the last lot yet, tbh It confuses me as you never know if it is a change or just VOSAs out of date locations -_- so I just wait for the announcements!
I've noticed the extra decker 6s too, but the 27 hasn't really seen a drastic increase in plastic, it is still just 1 or 2 a day  :-\

Route 650 is probably going to be operated YW on the 27th april hence the 1 extra bus only 1 bus required looking at the current timetable provided on network westmidlands site?

Sure I saw here that Diamond were going to retain the 650 but renumber it as 34.
