Wolverhampton Garage

[Chris2301]

I wonder if any new allocations of bus will go to wolves to replace the spectras (oldest double deckers in the fleet) that seem to overheat frequently in the summer. Wouldn't mind seeing E400 on the 529

Confirmed open day 20th July.

Posters going on the buses tonight.


Buses old and new, plus others.

Come along.

in reply to my comment, it wouldnt suprise me if nxwm took the 9 b5h's to bc, and transferred tridents over to replace them (aka older stuff)

No its 5510-18 from WN-BC with WN having 5401-09 in exchange

Is there a particular reason why they are being swapped now?

Possibly to reduce the type's operating at WN? :-\

I'd have thought that's the main reason for both garages. In addition with NXWM now committed to ADL products for the foreseeable, and therefore the type of Hybrid future purchases (if there are to be any) decided, would there still be a need to evaluate these side by side on common routes?

So will some of the '61' Enviro400Hs be branded for the 1 at Wolverhampton, or just have the generic 'Turning The Black Country Green'?

@John, I'd imagine atleast 5 would be left unbranded for use on the 59 (Like 5510-14)

That's only assuming they're used on the 59 though

I'd be very surprised if they didn't....

unbranded 5510-14 have started to be prepared for their move to BC.5512 has had its 'turning the black country green' removed overnight

And 5515 has been rebranded for the 126 in blue  ;D

If only :)

5518 is still branded for the 1.

5518 has been debranded from the 1

Is it just on the Wolves vehicles or are Walsall,  West Bromwich & Pensnett having the notices too?

Probably of most interest to Nathan

5513 has lost it's "turning the black country green" slogans

His favourite Trident 4609 also has one of the big stickers

4313 back at WN and on the 255 today. Well, it was until 1835 ish

I am aware of all of the above but thanks anyway :) 4313 worked 255/19 which works a 711 school trip beforehand.

4609's Advert says 'Buses across the West Midlands every few minutes'

How many (if any) of the non 1 branded B5s still have the slogans on? I don't think I saw any when I was up there the other day.

I noticed the former 1 branded ones still had the red on the front and "up to every" on the side, I wonder if that was deliberate? (22/23 branding?)

All of 5510-18 have their lettering/branding. However as you say 5515-18 still have the red surrounding the destination and 'Up to every' letting on the window
