PB took over the 28 a week before WHs closure, so it would have been the last week of May 1998. Double deckers (usually Metrobuses) were the norm for quite a few years before the blobs arrived.

Is Perry Barr the biggest depot that NXWM have? It seems to have so many buses and operate most routes, and is by far the most important garage!
Perry Barr has the best fleet and I wish they would swap with Coventry!!  >:( :(
Favourite buses currently:
871, 1828, 4421, 4764, 6101, 6108, 6116, 6118, 6121, 6848, 6849
Least favourite buses currently:
4203, 4213, 4398, 4419

The most important garage?

What do you mean by that? How can one garage be more important lol. Do you mean in terms of vehicle age or...?

I think this definition of important refers to the vehicles that Perry Barr have ie Scanias, mk2 E400's, bendybuses and Gemini's
