Perry Barr have the politest drivers in my opinion
I always thought so too. Although, PN drivers aren't too bad either - I'd say PN comes a close second, and WA & BC joint third, for me, anyway...

It depends, all garages have good & bad drivers but that is life.

As for PN i have met the best drivers, really polite and well mannered and also seen the worst as well.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I guess so. I'll always remember my first experience on the E400MMC. I was lucky to catch 6101 on it's second day of service, the driver was extremely polite, and we both exchanged thanks as I got off the bus...

I'm sure some PB drivers recognise me, especially on the 16 and 101. We usually exchange smiles as I get on. Though, I should imagine you have to be polite, kind and approachable in this industry.

Very much so, especially with a large company like NE! Many people see the polite drivers but nothing is said because it is expected, however one bad driver can give the whole company a bad reputation.

On a whole, the majority of drivers are usually very kind towards their passengers - others, probably, but not as much and the rest, who I feel just want to earn their living, which I can't blame for doing so...

Just because you like the look of them?
Try asking the staff at PB which is better for the job they do, a 57 plate Scania or a 57 plate E400

If the 57s are anything like out ex-Pensnett Enviro400s, I know what I'd prefer!

4780 and 4781 are the 2 on the 907.

This livery really suits the older E400's and looks a lot better than the red and white livery would be nice to see the whole fleet in this livery but I cannot see NXWM somehow putting the older fleet Tridents in this livery but I could be wrong though. Great pic @nxwmbusfan1999

Great Shot !

Looks really good and the older Enviros have warmed to it well. Personally I think it looks better like this without the advertising on the sides.
