Perry Barr Garage

[Alex]

My mistake on the main site, jumped a line, it is 6815 & 6816 that are here, 6816 is in the garage. I passed 16 on the M6 last Tursday

6816 came out in service this afternoon, passed it on Jockey Road, with it heading towards Sutton, I can only guess to take up a peak board?

When are the remaining 6 CV geminis coming to PB?

Not until NXC receive 6 replacement buses

Maybe when pn gets its Platinum's then more Y reg tridents will move to Walsall and Coventry. Releasing the 6 remaining geminis

Or maybe Coventry will get Y reg Tidents from BC with E400 transferring from PB to BC and Platinums soon arriving BC.

Does that mean the 94 will get upgraded to 05 plated  buses then, yippee. That should keep me quiet till at least after Christmas. I wonder if they will get branded too  ::)

I would have thought it more likely Coventry would get some E400s - perhaps 4880-4884 or 4895-4899. Also note CV have received five buses - 840-844.

They already have 21 Y reg Tridents!! Walsall don't have many more B7TL/ALX to release either, presumably to WB and AG.

I also wonder whether the ex CV Geminis would stay at PB or whether the initial batch are paint float for the repaint/retrim Geminis now being done. Also its been suggested the Omnicities and Streetdecks may possibly be on the move. If the Streetdecks do move I had a thought they might try them on the Outer Circle (AG).

All guesswork and no doubt Tony will reveal all in due course.

Yes I think it will be Enviro 400s too but not 4895-99 as they are Pershore Road branded and were branded not too long ago.

Not enough 05 plated gemini for the 94. They seem to mostly be on the 67 at the moment.
Repainted/refurbished 03/53 plated gemini maybe.

4884 is named 'Ronnie Morgan' I believe - which wouldn't be appropriate for a Coventry-based bus I guess. There is nothing to stop the name being added to another one instead though.

I make that as 6810-14/17/20 still to be delivered. They seem to have got through these faster than ours.
