Perry Barr Garage

[james99]

Can i ask why perry bar bus garage is gonna close

Compulsory purchase order by Birmingham City Council because of the commonwealth games.

My bet is the old dairy site on the Aldridge Road opposite Wickes and the Central Bus garage. At least twice the size of the current garage

It would be a safe bet
But potential residential issues? I know the residents of Nash Square have been particularly vocal against the Speedway at Perry Barr so not entirely sure they'd like a stonking great bus garage the other side

I think there's land available off nobels way for engineering block and hard standing available that's quite close if its not already in use?

If you are going to build a brand new garage you do it properly.  Not have on part somewhere with another bit close by.

Loan I think, isn't it PB who operate the AM 869?

There's a video on youtube showing it on the 869, this morning as well.

There is no closure date as of yet

Yes we have at least 3 on loan today. They will be on any running board and not on the the same one each day

I've seen the plans for the redevelopment of West Bromwich, which would mean NX having to relocate their West Brom garage. What would be the prospects of a new 'super-garage' being located and built in reasonable proximity to replace both garages do you think?

I think I remember someone mentioning a site in Great Bridge somewhere as a replacement for WB.

There's a B7TL ALX400 on the 94 today, not very often one gets on there on a Sunday.
Whichever one it is, it has a rear ad.

That's either 4280/4/90/91. Or it could be 4289 which is PB's Red Bull bus that you saw from the rear?

I thought pb ran the 77 so how come there was a Walsall
on yesterday unless a bus broke down

[BK63 YWP]

Walsall runs the 77 now

[John]

Walsall have had the 77 back for months now. Ever since the changes to the 71 and the introduction of the 96

[PB2938]

PB only ran the 77 July 2016-4 June 2017 rest of the time has always been Walsall. Was great to see variety in Walsall Town like 7 16 33 101 branded Enviro.
