Is 4394 back at YW? I'm on it on a Brum bound 35 right now but the main site shows it as a WA vehicle still.

Ages ago. Just accidentally missed on the main site

4592 is on the 6. Thought it was 4582 - with it being Voith n'all.

I would expect more deckers to operate on the 6 from the 22nd

Why?

[Sh4318]

Why?

Why did I expect it to be 4582, or why do I expect more deckers to be on the 6 from next Sunday?

• YW only have Voith tridents (not including the Enviros)
• With the withdrawal of the 31 and changes to the 5, the 6 will be left to pick up the slack along that section of the Stratford Road

No more doubles on the 6. The last thing we need is to have to fit even more buses with traps

4592 is ZF not Voith @Sh4318

I think it was a fair assumption to make (although 'expect' probably was the wrong choice of word) given that section of the Stratford Road is losing 6 double decker buses per hour

4592 is ZF not Voith @Sh4318

Yes, I'm aware of that

[Steve3229vp]

Why?

Will the the 6 cope on the Stratford Road without the 31?, the 5 will be turning off earlier than before due to it's re-routing.
So have the the passengers declined on the Stratford Road?, or could it be that when the the changes come into force it will coincide with the holiday timetables therefore there could be increases from September ?

Saw 1932 on Sandy Lane in Perry Beeches heading towards Aldridge Road. Heading for Walsall for its repaint?

[cris 99]

saw 1935 heading in the other direction looking fresh

1932 must 1935's replacement in the paint shop, was weird seeing a SD bus on Sandy Lane, it does get the usual TGB Deckers on private hire but this is the first time I've ever seen an SD use it.
