Having seen the redeveloped site it looks pretty tight to get 3 buses in

Well there's now two ways into the school. Also the driver of the 907A said they'd perform a risk assessment before sending buses down. Did you hear what happened to the last buses to go down into the old site?

My friend was driving the 907A. They went into the school site but what NXWM didn't get told is that we broke up the day before. Then they got stuck due to builders and someone had to come down to get them out.

Yesterday PB was short on buses. The school bus 7 was cancelled, 4756 was on loan from YW to PB and put on the 33 and two Enviro 400 Trident's (4803 and 4822) and a Gemini (4491) were on the Sutton routes usually operated by E40D's. Are they still short today?

You are posting rubbish. 4756/8 are not on loan from YW because of a vehicle shortage. It's a planned move which I mentioned last Friday was going to happen. They will be there again today and at their home garage WB on Friday. With 4927 away for repairs there will always be a couple of other buses on Sutton, in fact every other 49xx was on the road yesterday

I didn't see the post on Friday. Just posted what I was told. Thanks for the correction.

4778 has just left solihull station not in service. Must have been on a charter this morning I should think.
