Yardley Wood Garage

Never heard of the 801/802. I though the 72 was solely AG. Thanks anyway.

My dad and brother have just returned from town, and are claiming that 4730 has been repainted in old BCT Navy and cream. It has only been a few months since it got the crimson paint scheme.

YW did one round trip from Solihull to Chelmsley and back.
16:00 from Solihull.

801/802 is Yardley Wood/Acocks Green staff bus.

They also do the 49S school/college service which extends from Solihull to Widney Manor.

7225 (MOF225) was at Pensnett yesterday as part of a garage visit by a local boy and his family.

Ok, can anyone give me a full list of the routes operated by YW. I know routes 2, 3, 6, 18, 27, 35, 49, 50, and 76 are among them, but are there any others?

They do the 863 Light Hall School but I read they'd lost the Blossomfield School contracts from September. Yes they work one 72 pm journey.

Off the top of my head, you've missed out the 84

The 84 was withdrawn and replaced by the WB 48 last year @GeminiFan1991 .

Oh dear,

I need to start spending more time on this forum. Duly noted,

So far, of the YW 75xx's, I've only seen 18. 19 and 23. The latter is yet to be given a branding livery (expecting it to be given red trim like the others)

Just speculating here, but as I guess these Platinums are a short-term 'stop-gap' for the 6 until the electric double decks arrive (sometime next year?) its possible they may not get fully branded in anticipation of them getting transferred elsewhere. I'd also guess that those that have received the red generic branding are intended to stay permanently to 'top-up' YW's allocation.

Well, I've seen them on the 50 so far - no other routes as yet. All other red branded 50s are ones that have been around since the start of the year.

The 50 branding is blue. The red 'generic' branding advertises Platinum features or tickets/app and is not route specific.

They've been on the 6.

6943, 7518/20-22/26/29 all on the 6 today. Also saw 7531 in Shirley, but not sure whether or not it was in service.

6750 on WA29
2240 on YW2

@Nathan admittedly I haven't seen an E200 on the 2/3 for a few weeks now, but I noticed three or four of them on both routes today (hope this isn't going to become a regular occurrence!)

(I do have them down as 'also commonly used' but to be honest when they do appear I tend to see them on the 3 more than the 2)
