According to 4593's photo page it never said anything about it being fire damaged how badly damaged was it and when did it happen

Why are Wolverhampton Garage getting rid of there of there former branded Tridents for the 529 to Walsall and Birmingham I mean you could de brand them and keep them, also why have they scrapped 4593.

They will have had approaching 40 new buses so need to lose a similar number to other garages. There are a lot of operational considerations with what goes where, types at other garages, transmission types, emissions considerations etc. It was always going to be mainly Tridents that went, and WN has a huge batch of 45xx ones.

4593 was completely destroyed in a fire.

Do we know what other bus was damaged because in the Express and Star it says one other bus damaged.

And you believe everything you read in the E&S? Nothing else was damaged thanks to the quick thinking staff.

Oh ok I don't really read the E&S

Well it is half one in the morning I'd expect you are getting tired.

6786, 7, 8 are in service now.

126 branded 6779 has failed, with engineer's van in attendance, on Highgate Middleway, just past the 50 stop city bound. Not quite sure what a WN bus would be doing there.

Trident 4609

6788; 9 have arrived. 4568 should have made the move to YW.

I've just past 6792 heading south in Glasgow

@Tony If you know someone who can speak to whoever looks after Stafford Gaol Square stop for the 54, all the info needs to be on Stand A3 as everyone was waiting on A1 was told by the 1325 54 to Wolves driver that his 'gaffa' told him to stop at A3 instead!
