6759 has just broken down outside Willenhall Lock Museum on the 529!

(On the plus side, my Igo 326 turned up this time!)

Apparently WN had 14 Tridents VOR on Monday amongst others and a number of buses on the 11 and 25 didn't run.

In the words of the piss poor engineering team "same old same old"

Insulting comments about people you don't even know from here say are definitely not welcome

Ashley, disappointing comments here about the team. Maybe you would prefer to pm me any issues or even arrange a depot visit to see the effort and understand what goes into maintaining the fleet?

Out of the ex 126 platinums 6790 seems to be the only one not rebranded for the x7/8

Yes it was branded for the services but has been involved in an accident and it is awaiting new livery again.

Thanks for the info, made it into Wolverhampton on an 81 just in time for it.

Here she is on her last trip in service, thanks for the info, it's much appreciated.

One thing thats puzzled me, is why buses due to be withdrawn, go out for one or two trips, then get withdrawn.

Why not withdraw it at the end of the day's service?

The staff that do things like change the tyres and remove electrical equipment generally work day shifts, so you might as well use the bus in the morning peak
