[I love Walsall buses]

That would be a photo of it working the Cap Gemini service then

What is that by any chance

What is that by any chance

External shuttle service for employees at Cap Gemini in Aston - Not Available to the General Public.
Operating between Cap Gemini, Aston and Birmingham City Centre.
The E200 SWB is its usual allocation.

So with the 952 going to Walsall are any other services moving out in the run up to closure etc or was that move completely unrelated to the closure. Apologies if already been explained, missed it.

Not related. Moved due to driver shortages

Is there vehicles moving from PB to WA, as it might be an idea not to use vehicles on the 952 that have 'Walsall Low Fare' branding on?

(Yes I know other vehicles from Walsall will operate into Brum with that branding on anyway, but those will operate local journeys in Walsall first, whereas the 952 vehicles don't officially operate within Walsall!))

1898 and 1899 have transferred to Walsall and they don't have the low fare branding.
But really I don't see much point, people hardly even look at them.

How do you know?

How many passenger surveys gave you done.

Surely the fact you know which ones have them proves they are noticed

[The Fox 4846]

4853 has its time set correctly but it's timing points timing is 7 mins ahead. For example it has arrived at Pheasey at 8:15, it is due out at 8:29. It the timing is saying early 7. The. Is was due in at 8:22. It arrived st 8:15 due it saying it was on time in Green. Very Odd:

Any gossip on the new location yet ?

An artists impression was posted on Facebook a couple of days ago. New location is Wellhead Lane.

Shame to lose a historic structure but at least the move is relatively short distance. Makes you wonder how worthwhile it is for the various parties - presumably the new facility will be much improved on the existing layout...?

Saw the plans for pb commonwealth village got the planning permission passed today on the news

Seen the the artist impression of a aerial view of the new PB garage on westbroms notice board ,a lot of future proofing has gone into it electrical charging points from over head gantrys etc state of art workshops etc, all looks very 21st century rather than mid  20th century.

Looks like westbrom will be getting upgrades in the future, from  that it clearly rules out moving any time soon.

I noticed while looking through my photos that 4480 has this sticker of what looks like a satellite, just above it's front fleet number. What purpose does this serve?

[markcf83]

I think this is relevant to when it was new on the 33. It might be something to do with triggering traffic lights but I'm not sure about that. Others can confirm one way or another of whether I'm right or not....
